Matthew Broderick Talks Stage and Paparazzi with the New York Post

Matthew Broderick, who recently finished an off-Broadway run of 'The Starry Messenger', recently sat down with the New York Post to answer a set of questions involving the stage, his current film role as a cynical folk singer, and how he copes with the fervent paparazzi.

Broderick who can next be seen in the dark comedy 'Wonderful World', a drama opening on Friday, playing the role of Ben, a failed children's folk singer, believes it's more fun to play a less than well-adjusted individual, "Well-adjusted people can be dull. [My character] has a lot of conflicts to fight against, I guess. I like playing happy people, too. Also, I think stories of people my age are not always happy. Characters in their late 40s tend to be going through something that isn't always [happy]. Something with children," he tells the New York Post.
