A great article by Lauren Bans from GQ.
A killer role in the new Steve Carell flick has forced our brains to process this shocking truth: Josh Groban = damn funny
Josh Groban always seemed like a guy we would ignorantly lump in the nebulous galaxy of soft rock-crooning white guys beloved by housewives and elevator speakers. But this month he breaks out of the milquetoast mold with a seriously funny performance in Crazy, Stupid, Love as Emma Stone's boorish boyfriend—the most surprising cheeseball image-reversal since Michael Bolton killed it on "SNL" this spring. Oh, and we finally listened to Groban's music. Not so bad.
GQ: How in the world did you go about getting yourself cast in a romantic comedy?
Josh Groban: I went in for the audition and after one reading the casting director said, "Oh my god, you're just perfect." I was really excited for a moment, then it dawned on me: I just nailed the douchebag character. I could have used a few takes, maybe some notes to get me there. But no, I guess I had it in me all along.
GQ: So deep down you're really the cad who doesn't appreciate his smoking hot girlfriend type?
Josh Groban: No, I'm a nice guy. I just went really method and channeled all those people I've hated throughout my life. It was nice to play against type.
GQ: Too bad your first role was playing the guy Emma Stone realizes she's not in love with.
Josh Groban: I know. But we did get to kiss once, and for that alone, it was worth it.
GQ: That didn't make it in! Tell me about the kiss?
Josh Groban: At the end of one of our scenes the directors came up to us and said, "You know, this is feeling a little goofy. Let's just try to make this more believable with a kiss at the end." And I'm thinking, Holy shit. That wasn't in the script. I've never kissed on camera before. What does that mean? What do I have to do? I didn't take that class in college. And Emma's just this total pro. She pulls out her lip-gloss, and says, "It's cherry. That cool with you?" I mean, that kiss shall forever be my deer in "Stand By Me"; my moment alone, no one will ever be able to treasure it but me.
GQ: Except if it makes it onto the DVD extras.
Josh Groban: Yeah. Most likely the blooper reel.
GQ: I have to admit I'm not at all familiar with your musical catalog.
Josh Groban: Well, that's quite all right. I would venture to say I probably haven't read many of your articles, but this is the beauty of our business. Two become one. This world has brought us together.
GQ: I feel like you probably just quoted your own lyrics to me.
Josh Groban: [laughs] You'll have to find out.
GQ: What's a good starter song if I want to get into your music?
Josh Groban: My biggest blast-off hit was "You Raise Me Up." If you ever have a wedding or a funeral, it's a good pick

Emma Stone Tastes Like Cherries...
Josh Groban's first taste of the movie industry tasted like … cherries?
While filming Crazy, Stupid, Love, his big-screen debut, the crooner ditched his nice-guy persona to play Emma Stone's bad-boy boyfriend – a comedic role that came with a little romance.
"After one of our scenes, the directors said, 'This is feeling a little goofy. Let's try this with a kiss at the end,' " the freshly minted actor, 30, tells GQ magazine. "And I thought, 'Holy s---! I've never kissed on-camera before. What do I have to do? I didn't take that class in college.' "
Luckily for Groban, "Emma's just this total pro."
He recalls of his first on-screen smooch, "She pulls out her lip gloss and says, 'It's cherry. That cool with you?' "
Although the shot didn't make the cut – maybe the "blooper reel," he cracks – he likened the scene with Stone, 22, to another pivotal film moment.
"That kiss shall forever be my deer in Stand by Me," he says. "It's my moment alone. No one but me will ever be able to treasure it."

Emma Stone interview - Crazy, Stupid, Love...
Emma talks about Josh (0:19 to 1:02)
I like to call Josh Groban, "Golden Grobes".
Because he was phenomenal. I had no idea, he's so funny and he's so great at improv - and he came up with the greatest stuff, um, just off the cuff, and I had no idea.
I think as a suitor, Richard, his character, is um, he's kind of a boring guy. He's a pretty, I mean, so sweet, and there's probably a lot of girls out there that would be all about Richard. But Hannah is a little wilder than she's allowing herself to be. I think she's fallen into this path and she's kind of settled.

"Crazy, Stupid, Love" trailer...
So we all know that Josh has a small part in the new Steve Carell movie "Crazy, Stupid, Love" which will be in cinemas in July.
Here's the trailer - sadly but not surprisingly there's no sign of Josh.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well that didn't last long. Warner Bros have taken down the YouTube clip. Fingers crossed they post the 'official' trailer soon.
