During an appearance on Hot Ones, Wedding Crashers star Vince Vaughn revealed he rarely appears in comedies anymore because—according to him—Hollywood is scared of producing the raunchy R-rated fare on which he made his name.
After his debut in 1998’s Swingers, Vaughn became a consistent presence in R-rated comedies like Old School and Wedding Crashers. Those movies launched the succession of uber-raunchy, Judd Apatow and Seth Rogen-influenced “bromances” that were ubiquitous in the early aughts.
