Cusack: 'I'm tired of emails and texts'

John Cusack has said that he hates modern technolgoy.

The Hot Tub Time Machine star has admitted that he "forces" his friends to meet him for coffee because he doesn't believe technology is capable of maintaining a friendship, Contactmusic reports.

Cusack said: "Sometimes I say to my friends, 'We have to go out and have coffee together or something, because I'm tired of just talking in email and texts. I want to make sure it's really you'.

"You know what I mean? I force people to have coffee with me, just because I don't trust that a friendship can be maintained without any other senses besides a computer or cellphone screen."

The 43-year-old actor also said that making his latest movie made him realise how much everyone relied on technology.

Cusack continued: "As long as you can tell somebody how you feel in 140 characters or less. It's exhausting. I don't know, I don't think any of that really counts, you know?"

He added: "That's a great line in the film, where Jacob - played by Clark Duke - is hitting on a girl in the '80s and he says to her, 'How can I get in touch with you later?' And she says, 'Well, you're going to have to come out and find me!'"

Hot Tub Time Machine is currently playing in the US. As of yet, no UK release date has been announced.
