"He insisted he wanted to read for Schmidt, and Schmidt had this scene where he took off his shirt,” she says of the former Silicon Valley star, whom she had worked with on 2011's Our Idiot Brother. “He was like, ‘Excuse me for a second,’ so he walked out and came back with his shirt off, and he had completely covered himself in an entire bottle of baby oil.”
