Zach Galifianakis: "I just find actors so s***ty"

Zach Galifianakis has said that he hates actors.

On Saturday, the Hangover Part II star spoke to writer Andy Borowitz at the New Yorker Festival, opening up about his decision to create his web series Between Two Ferns, in which he conducts interviews with celebrities seated between two potted ferns.

"I just find actors so s**tty, I just hate them," Galifianakis said. "Ego is funny to me... I just wanted to mock celebrities."

The 42-year-old went on to say that despite starring in box-office hits The Hangover and its follow-up The Hangover Part II, he would love to only make independent films from now on.

"I would like to do small movies for the rest of my life, but it's a hard thing," Galifianakis said. "Nobody's going to fund a movie where you're being esoteric. Or maybe they will, but I'm too lazy to figure it out."

Galifianakis's Hangover co-star Bradley Cooper recently revealed that he is hopeful that studio executives will greenlight another film, saying that he would not hesitate to sign up for The Hangover 3.

In May, Galifianakis revealed that he doesn't like big-budget movies, confessing that he never thought he would star in a movie like The Hangover.
