Intimate moments with Will Forte are ‘very sweaty and goal-oriented,’ Wiig says. By Eric Ditzian, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Ryan Phillippe Photo: MTV News “MacGruber” is raw. Throats are gruesomely ripped out; F-bombs are dropped like the characters need them to breathe; and there’s some raunchy sex. It’s not the sort of thing you might see on the recurring “Saturday Night Live” sketches that spawned this big-screen comedy. Just ask co-star Ryan Phillippe , who had to insert a celery stick up his bum for a scene (really, you don’t want to know the backstory right now). That’s some R-rated funkiness, right there. And there was no body double on set to let him off the hook. “I don’t know how in detail we need to get about that,” he laughed. “But I clenched. That’s all you need to know. There was no insertion. I am still a virgin back there. “The first time I read it, I thought, ‘How tied to this are they?’ ” he continued. “It was a carrot at the time. By the time we shot it, which was near the end of the film, I think intentionally — because they thought I might back out if they sprung it on me too early — but I had seen so much insanity after the three weeks leading up to my scene that it seemed tame. I had to chip in.” Co-star Kristen Wiig chipped in as well with a wacky, intense love sesh between her Vicki St. Elmo and Will Forte’s MacGruber. How does Forte stack up as an onscreen lover? “Loud, aggressive, very sweaty and goal-oriented,” she joked. Traumatic, she could have added. “I remember walking out of the house in a bathrobe, just covered in sweat, mostly not mine,” she recalled. “And I think they had cupcakes or something, and I was like, ‘I can’t! I can’t eat those right now!’ ” Check out everything we’ve got on “MacGruber.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .
