Deuce gets it on, this time in Europe

Rob Schneider, the former stand-up comic and star of movies like Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo, Hot Chick and The Animal, is back in the spotlight with Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo, which hits theatres this summer.

He chatted with the 'Nique about his new movie, his best pal, Adam Sandler and all of the sex acts he discovered while filming in Amesterdam.

Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo seems to express Schneider's natural comedic side without going over the top.

Schneider described his idea generation process for the new movie. "I sit around with some friends of mine. Like, to do Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo, we sat around with my friends who write for The Simpsons, and it was about 15 of us in the room, and we just came up with stuff that we'd like to see," he said.

"I think I spent a lot of time as a kid watching Richard Pryor, Monty Python and those guys, and I also love Gene Wilder and the Mel Brooks movies. Those are the kind of movies that show you can really get out there but still keep it real, but there's no such thing as being too big as long as you're playing it for real," he said.

"I kind of like the John Cleese series of comedy from Monty Python. [Cleese] used to think the funniest thing was a guy freaking out­-watching a guy freak out. Now what he thinks is even funnier is watching.someone freak out. I kind of like to do both," he said.

After making a successful first movie about gigolos, Schneider decided to bring back Bigalow in Europe because "people just kept talking about how much they liked the first Deuce Bigalow and asking me for years to do a sequel, and then I started thinking about it. It would be funny to do it, and I said, 'Well, let's do it in a place where it's a little crazier.'

"I thought it would be fun to show some other gigolos like the crazy European gigolos and what they do. If we get a Spanish gigolo, a Greek gigolo, an Italian gigolo and a British gigolo, they'd each have their own specialty," he said.

But Schneider warns everyone against gossip. "The rumor of me [making the movie] just to have an excuse to...go to Amsterdam for six months and hang out in the coffee shops with Venezuelan hookers is extremely exaggerated," he said.

He said that he thinks that there are more European gigolos than American ones because "the Europeans are willing to do crazier stuff. The new sex acts, you don't know what they are exactly, but they sound pretty disgusting."

The new movie looks like it is all set to shock audiences across the board.

"We've been showing it to people and there are characters like Penis Nose and these gigolos who have herpes. The audiences were a little shocked. I was hoping the audiences would help take it to another level," Schneider said.

"The audiences love it and hate it. As long as they have a strong opinion about it, then I know it's a success," he said.

Schneider's soft spot for Deuce Bigalow's character is obvious. "I like Deuce Bigalow because he's a little stupider than me, which is saying a lot, and then he's got a good heart; he's a little nicer than me. He's always trying to do the right thing," he said.

There seem to be no definite plans for a part three with Deuce Bigalow, though Schneider doesn't discount the possibility of making another film in the role. "There could be. If people really love this one and wanted it, I would think about it...I really hope people have a good laugh at this movie."

On the possibility of Deuce Bigalow facing off with Austin Powers, Schneider quipped, "You know that if we take Deuce Bigalow with his shirt off to Mike Myers, I am going to get more play than him. I think I'll be okay even though he has got more super powers than me and some other stuff going on with gadgets. But Deuce Bigalow doesn't need gadgets."

Though some have wondered if Schneider might consider more serious roles, he said, "People don't ask Andre Agassi: 'Andre Agassi, you're the top-10 tennis player in the world for the last decade. Have you thought about professional bowling?' But yeah if it was interesting I would do it."

About his future plans he said, "The next role I am playing, Adam Sandler wrote for me. It's called Bench Warmers with me, Jon Heder, who you might know as Napolean Dynamite, and David Spade, who you might know as David Spade, and that would probably be out in the springtime."

After playing gigolos Schneider seems well versed with its financial aspects. "I normally get 10 dollars. I think that's about [seven and a half] euros. If this movie does really well, then 20. But I'm willing to negotiate."
