Kinnear: 'Gervais can't help himself'

Rex Features

Greg Kinnear has admitted that many scenes from his recent comedy Ghost Town ended up on the cutting room floor.

Speaking to DS, the actor blamed co-star Ricky Gervais for sabotaging takes by failing to keep a straight face during filming.

"Very funny man, very good. Does a wonderful job in the movie, he's really great in it," he said of Gervais. "We had many times where I [thought] 'unbelievable'. [Scenes are] on the cutting room floor because he can't help himself.

"He just laughs, he's very in the moment. We had a great time making that movie, it was a lot of fun in New York."

Kinnear's new film Flash Of Genius, which sees him portray a man battling the Ford Motor Company in a lengthy court case, is out in cinemas now.
