The actor, who once grooved as rap sensation Marky Mark, even hired a choreographer pal to help him perfect his moves, but they mostly sat around in his trailer chatting about the old days.
“I dreaded the dancing stuff,” he tells WENN. “(Director) Sean (Anders) continued to ask me, ‘You workin’ on your moves?’ ‘Yeah,’ I said, and I wasn’t.
“I said, ‘I might need a choreographer’, so I could get my friend Ace a cheque, and he’d come to the trailer and say, ‘Hey, let’s work on the moves’. I was like, ‘Will you leave me alone? I’m not working on the moves!’
“I waited basically until the last second because it was seven o’clock in the morning and there were a couple of hundred extras waiting, so I had to bust a move. It’s my least favourite thing to do next to singing, and of course I had to do both in the movie. But people seem to love those moments.”
However, the Ted star won’t hesitate to bust a move if one of his daughters asks him to dance with her – and the slower the tune the better.
“I’ve been to many daddy-daughter dances,” he explains. “Actually last year was the first time I went with both my daughters. And you really just hope they’re gonna dance with you at all, so whatever song they say OK to… My now 12 year-old, she’s running around with her friends, but I got quite a few dances. Any song will do – preferably something a little slower.
“I am usually the best dancer in the room! That’s where I’ll get my groove on a little bit.”
