Romance And The Eating Habits Of Gorillas: Josh Duhamel, Julianne Hough And Nicholas Sparks Talk SAFE HAVEN

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of moderating a Q&A with Safe Haven stars Josh Duhamel and Julianne Hough, along with author Nicholas Sparks, when they stopped in Dallas. The next day I sat down with Duhamel and Hough to chat about the film one on one, without a crowd of crying teenage girls and book worms (for the record, it was a pretty fun Q&A).

Watch the interview below to see the pair discuss why the film was a challenge they were both willing to take on at this point in their careers. And to see me and Duhamel nerd out when his costar unknowingly references Transformers -- a moment we most definitely did not let her get by with. Oh, and if Josh Duhamel starts to discuss the eating habits of gorillas ...don't challenge him in front of a big crowd ... you'll only end up apologizing on video later.

And, for all you SparkNotes, we also have a quick interview with author Nicholas Sparks, in which we discuss the novel/film's twists, turns, surprises, and spoilers. (SPOILER ALERT.)

Safe Haven opens wide across North America on Thursday, February 14.
