JUDD APATOW

Hi Judd. Where are you right now?

I’m in LA, taking a walk around my neighbourhood, trying to get some positive chemicals in my body.

Have you got a lockdown routine locked down now, so to speak?

In the morning, I try to do something healthy for my mind and body. In the afternoon, I try to do something productive, which might be an attempt to write, or clean the closet. Anything that felt productive for that day. Just taking it one day at a time.

That sounds pretty positive. A lot of people have just been eating their bodyweight in ice cream. Oh, yeah. Well, I’m trying to exercise enough so I can eat the ice cream at midnight. I did make a choice that I could either become skinny or fat. I’m attempting to go skinny. That’s the plan.

One surprising thing that’s emerged from lockdown: you worked on Look Who’s Talking.

Yes! Well, I did punch-up on Look Who’s Talking Now.

The third one. Writing additional jokes for the dog characters. Early in my career, it was the best gig ever. I don’t remember if they used any of my jokes, but I do remember there was a cheque.
