Tr3s Exclusive: Luis Guzmán Suits Up For 'Arthur'

By Michael Lopez

Remember when we posted those outrageous behind-the-scenes pictures of Russell Brand and Luis Guzmán? Well now Luis is dropping details about what it was like to be the first Latino Boy Wonder and how much fun it was working on the new movie Arthur.

"I have damaged Robin fans forever and I am proud of it," Luis confessed exclusively to Tr3s. "I wouldn’t recommend wearing a Robin outfit in a size small."

Though if you’re looking for big laughs, then having Russell and Luis as the dynamic duo is a definite recommendation. In one of the funniest scenes in the film, Arthur (Brand) and his driver Bitterman (Guzmán) tear through New York City, suited up in the Batmobile.

"It was a lot of fun," Guzmán went on to say.

And from the interview it was clear that Luis was referring to the entire Arthur experience. Based on the 1981 film of the same name, this new version follows many similar plot points about a drunken playboy billionaire. Luis went on to emphasize some of the changes he and Russell incorporated into their classic characters.

"Working with the wittiness of Russell Brand was amazing. I have seen the original [Arthur] and it stands alone. But with this, we gave it our own touch and our own flavor. This one has its own magic."

Just look at Luis’ Twitter page and you can see that he and Russell shared a bond both on and off the set. Guzmán emphasized that he is now a regular tweeter and has become a big fan of using the social network to keep fans updated about his latest projects.

"I tweet all the time. Right now it’s about [my HBO series] How To Make It In America. We’re just now starting to film our second season."

With credits that include heavy dramas, fantasy films, and bawdy comedies (à la Arthur), it’s clear that Luis has a lot of range. Though when asked about it, Guzmán emphasized that he treats each genre the same.

"I just really enjoy working and to be working on good projects."

By the looks of things, Arthur falls right into that line.
