Proving life is so, soooo much weirder than fiction.
But truth really is stranger (not to mention grittier and funnier and just plain weirder) than fiction.
We chatted with the actors, who bought two tickets to the gun show.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: This story is wild.
How aware of it were you before you were cast?
HILL:No way.
I didnt know that!
HILL:My dad would really like me to be in it.
[Laughs]
TELLER:It ended up working out!
I thought it was incredible.
These guys went as hard on the party front as they did on the arms trading, right?
HILL:They did, yeah.
Its the 14-year-old version of yourself that goes, Hell, yeah!
but you dont examine the outcome.
Youre just thinking like a kid.
Miles, you were able to meet the real life David, right?
TELLER:Yes, I did.
Jonah did, too.
HILL:I didnt meet Ephraim though.
It ends up being a good movie.
If they want me to be involved, it ends up not so much.
So its a positive overall.
[Laughs]
This movie seems like a departure for Todd Phillips.
Its not strictly a comedy.
HILL:It has big laughs, but its not like his other films.
Its a crime film that is very funny.
HILL:Yeah, Todd nailed this.
I will tell you when Im in a bad movie!
And Im really,reallyproud of this movie.
