During the show, the actor opened up about the film's striking emotional depth, hinting that while there are plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, viewers should prepare for a rollercoaster of feelings that could lead to a whole new genre of romantic comedies. Hugh himself was apprehensive about returning, confessing that there was ultimately "no role for him" if the film hadn’t taken this heartfelt turn.
