Over the years, he's turned down some interesting roles. His pal Jason Segel wrote a part for him in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, but Charlie couldn't do it, so the role went to Russell Brand. He's said, "I couldn't see that movie for a while because I was a bit tortured by it," adding, "Russell Brand did a so much better job than I would have done in the movie."
He's taken on more serious roles in recent years, but he's into the idea of comedy, too. He told us, "I've been really craving doing something . . . a bit more lively and energetic and irreverent."
