Ed Helms was ‘nervous’ for his parents to see ‘The Hangover’

Ed Helms, a bit like the public, will never forget Hangover.

The hilarious film of 2009 at a bachelor party shot – Way Wrong – after one of the participants secretly drugged the others during a wild night in Las Vegas raised $ 469.3 million at the world box office and generated two suites. Not only did it stimulate Helms’ career, but it provided him with a gentle moment with his mother, which he did not expect the listed comedy R. at all.

“I grew up in a sort of repressed southern household. Politically, very progressive, but still in a very socially conservative environment,” said Helms on Siriusxm on Wednesday on Siriusxm Where everyone knows your name Podcast hosted by Ted Danson. “And so Hangover East nut. This is not what they have raised to me to do, to be in a film like Hangover. “”

To be fair, does anyone raise their children to wake up in a Las Vegas hotel with a missing tooth, a new wife and the stolen tiger of Mike Tyson in their bathroom-and no memory of the way it happened? Helms, who Costars alongside Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis and Justin Bartha, is the most fucked up in the group.

Helms’ mother and dad came first anyway.

“I look at my mom, the lights appear and she cries,” recalls Helms. “Tears flowing on her face, and, for a second, I say to myself:” Do I just broke my poor mom’s heart? “”

He didn’t need to worry because they were happy tears.
