Happy Birthday: Ed Helms

Ed Helms

Born: January 24, 1974 in Atlanta, Georgia, USA

(On filming The Hangover Part II (2011) in Bangkok) We exploited its dark underbelly with great enthusiasm in the movie. We shot in some interesting neighborhoods, what you might call “sketchy”, that most tourists probably wouldn’t visit. You take a vacation to a place like Thailand and you’re ready for the excitement of something new and foreign. But when you’re working 14-hour days, all you want is something familiar to ground you. And there’s just nothing there. Even the American things, such as Starbucks or a hamburger joint, felt different in Bangkok.

(2011, on if people try to buy him drinks because of his Hangover fame) If I’m in a bar, frat boys will usually try to buy me shots. But I’m not much of a boozer anymore. I certainly had my share of ragers during my 20s, but I think it had more to do with geography than age. I lived in New York City for most of my 20s, and then I moved to Los Angeles when I was 32 or 33. L.A. is all about automobiles, and New York is about public transportation or taxis. So alcohol consumption isn’t as automatic as it was when I was in New York.
