TRAVIS CHOSE STILLER FOR BEING ‘UPTIGHT’
Scottish rockers TRAVIS chose movie star BEN STILLER to appear in the video for their new single Closer, because no-one else was "uptight" enough to play the role.
The group needed someone to play a stressed and uptight supermarket manager for their latest video, and couldn’t think of anyone else who could do a better job.
Bassist Douglas Payne says, "(Stiller) is a lovely friend, and when we got the treatment for the video there was this part for an uptight wound-up guy. "We just thought, ‘Who do we know that is uptight and wound-up?’ So Fran (lead singer) emailed Ben and sure enough he had the day off and it was great, we all went off to LA and started shooting."
