I met Zach a few years ago and he couldn\’t have been more nice and down to Earth. Easily the nicest and most sincere celebrity I\’ve ever met. Of course, this was Pre-Hangover.

I don\’t understand the purpose of labeling an actor as a \’jerk\’. What does that have to do with anything?

His stand-up was, and always will be, beyond brilliant. The guy is hilarious and so very often, misunderstood or never understood at all. And I simply love the fact that he isn\’t changing, even with his increasing success.

I actually really liked him in \”Tru Calling.\” In fact if I ever saw him in person I would probably mention it. It sucks that he hated it. That show was the first thing I noticed him in and he made the show not as awful as it was.

@Ryan because people like @Brad will assume, based on these quotes that he\’s something much worse then a jerk. Personally, I love the dude. @This guy suggests, his stand-up is utterly brilliant.

i have trouble liking galifianakis. the mel gibson thing bothered me and he just seems average in general. his \’fern show\’ or whatever the fuck its called is funny but his acting is one note.

him taking the moral high ground in situations and then whoring \’hangover 2\’ is a joke.

@Edward Davis Yeah, that\’s true. I guess you can\’t really win when you\’re in his position.

ZG\’s brand of humor is awkward and off putting. That is the whole point of \”Between Two Ferns.\” Before he was super famous, I had a very odd \”interaction\” with him at a party and I think that\’s just the kind of guy he is. A little off, a little strange and he sees the funny in keeping people off-kilter. Not for everyone, but no I don\’t think he is a jerk.

I love Zach G, i love him as an actor and a comedian. I think the guy\’s great but after reading this….yeah he hates fame but that\’s no excuse to be a dick! That\’s how he comes across. Zach – manners, they don\’t cost you anything!

You know what they say about when they say you should never meet your idols/heroes cos they\’ll only disappoint you. I think this is one of those times! Shame. Was hoping he\’d be a nice guy, unfortunately not!

I dunno, I woud love to get totally stoned with Zach G.

He\’s a professional writer and performer of dark comedy. If he toned it down because people are uncomfortable he\’d be out of practice. It\’s not like the Michael Kramer \”joke\” where, in addition to being racist, it doesn\’t make any sense. Every one of these examples is a qualified act of pushing the envelope and he\’s probably been fired and lived in a van because he has the courage to accept the consequences.

It\’s one thing to be a jerk, but an untalented jerk?
Wow…

Actually what he did to Robert Downey Jr was arrive late to his home for dinner. He smelled bad, was sweaty and had 2 bottles of wine as a gift for Downey Jr.(Who doesn\’t drink and is a recovered alcoholic.) Then at dinner he insulted Robert 2-3 times making drug and bad Jew references. Then he asked Robert at the dinner table while they were eating if Sarah Jessica Parker was fantastic in bed and what it was like to live with her for 7 years – in front of Susan Downey. Susan was very upset by this -which of course, made Robert upset. It was Robert that drove Zach home not Todd. So, their relationship tended to always suffer due to negative remarks by Zack toward Robert\’s character and him not respecting Robert during filming.
Actually, I doubt Zack respects anyone but himself. He is becoming quite a conceited jerk. He also feels that his opinion only should matter. On his HBO show, he treats most guests poorly. He put a huge potted plant in the chair Jennifer Anniston was supposed to use, when she came out he made her stand through most of the show, insinuating she was a whore. At the White House dinner recently, he told Jane Lynch and several other important people that he didn\’t think that they would allow so many gays into the building. This insulted them. He made an a** out of himself at the White House. So, my big guess is he hates everyone but himself. He is just to big for his self. He loves the money but not the popularity that goes with it – at 41 years of age he just needs to grow up or get out of the business.

What a freaking douche. To belittle a fellow actor at the 2015 SAGS. What an ungrateful SOB!!! He\’s only in Hollywood and a star because of us, problem is…. He\’s an asshole and not funny!!!

Interviewed him for \”Funny Story\” and he was not only very kind, but very intelligent and thoughtful. Not everyone wants to play the bullshit Hollywood game, but few are so vocal about it. I can empathize with his frustration and bull-shitless attitude.

He doesn\’t like the conformist nature of Hollywood. The live life like a public service announcement, drive a Prius, drink a latte, support equal rights fake-ness of it all.

But I think he hasn\’t shown a ton of range in his roles so far. Alan from the hangover was his own creation. The rest have seem tired and very underdeveloped.

Okay I don\’t feel one way or another about him. Might be funny, might not, might be nice, might not, I don\’t know.

But all this \”doesn\’t want to play the Hollywood game\” stuff.

Correct me if I\’m wrong but hasn\’t the guy has just made one of the most artistically bankrupt sequels of all time?

Cash the checks and don\’t pretend you ain\’t playing the game.

From the sound of things, I\’d wager he\’s just developmentally arrested in some ways. He exhibits a few behaviours I\’ve come to recognize in exceptionally anxious and neurotic individuals. In consequence, yeah, he\’s a jerk. But more often than not, he probably doesn\’t mean to be.

As for his talent and his career, it pretty much seems as though he hit a few breaks and is along for the ride that the Hollywood system provides. Not really a matter of genius or artistic-integrity vs. commercial corruption, but rather just a not-quite-right manchild who\’s making a living doing something he moderately enjoys and sees just as much bullshit and compromise as would anybody in most lines of work.

Anna i\’m loving this extra info! Where you hear all this from? 😀

I am a huge Robert Downey Jr fan. So, I watched all of the interviews that Robert and Todd Phillips did during the Due Date premieres. I also was sent copies, by friends, of the ones that were done by all 3 men, over seas. Alot of those statements about their dinner together Robert and Todd spoke about on the ET and EXTRA interviews. I think they are still on YouTube. One of them is a 4 parter. The White House Dinner Party, you can look up on line. Try typing in Zach Galifianakis at The White House Dinner. That might bring it up for you. The others well, you can look up Anniston\’s visit to Bored to Death.( Also other stars he has insulted.) Zach seems to be a really interesting person. You really don\’t have to look very far to find terrible things Zach has said or done to others. Most of the things he has done you can now find on line. Once you become a star, when you shoot your mouth off and hurt others \”everyone hears about it\” . Have Fun!!!
