Danny McBride says he thought This Is The End is a movie that would never get made.
The actor is back on the big screen at the end of the month as he teams up with James Franco, Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen for the outrageous end of the world comedy.
And while McBride admits that it was always a project that he was interesting in doing he never thought it would go ahead.
Speaking to Flicks and Bits the actor said: "It was one of those ideas that when Seth pitched it to me I was like, 'That's great, but no-one will ever make that movie.
"And then when they did I thought it was amazing that we would have the opportunity to do something like this."
"I had heard they were working on this movie, and it was one of those movies that the idea sounded so crazy that you never really knew if it would come to fruition.
"So when I got the call that it was actually going to happen - and not only that, but that they had found the time that everyone's schedules lined up - it just seemed like something you couldn't miss."
This Is The End sees Seth Rogen team up with Evan Goldberg in the director's chair - this is the directorial debut for Rogen.
As for McBride he has been busy of late as he has lent his voice to Hell & Back and has also completed work on TV movie Clear History with Eva Mendes and Kate Hudson.
This Is The End is released 28th June.
