Kevin Connolly says its ok to break up through text message

Extra! has a video interview (link leads to video) with the male stars of the upcoming film He’s Just Not That Into You, and like their femal co-stars you can tell they have a great camaraderie and have fun together. Ben Affleck, Justin Long, Kevin Connolly and Bradley Cooper joked around and laughed at some of the questions, with married man Affleck and known ladies man Connolly giving the most revealing answers when it comes to how they use modern technology to keep in touch with the opposite sex:

Affleck admitted he keeps in touch with wife Jennifer Garner via text message — and that’s how Jen keeps the father of two in check! “I correspond with my wife that way,” Ben said, laughing. “She’s like, ‘Get over here. Pick this s*** up! It’s time for you to go get our daughter!'”

Ben didn’t initially raise his hand when asked if he was romantic, but later admits he’s a sucker for romance. “I’m definitely romantic. I didn’t raise my hand because I didn’t want to be the guy who started talking about how romantic he was on TV. I wanted to dodge that bullet and I did dodge it.”

Co-star Kevin Connolly chimed in when the conversation turned to breaking up — using modern technology! When the men were asked if it’s okay to end things via text message, the “Entourage” star joked, “Oh yeah. That’s the best way.”

As for playing hard to get, Justin Long exclaimed, “Yeah, Connolly does. You play the game.” Kevin responded, “I don’t play hard to get. I’m very easy to get.”

It’s hard to tell from the video if Connolly is saying that text messaging is the best way to break up or keep in touch. Hopefully he’s at least sort-of joking if he says it’s the best way to break up. Have you ever called it off with someone in a text message or e-mail or been the recipient of one? It seems cruel to say the last, but it’s certainly easier for the dumper if not the dumpee.

This movie looks like a lot of fun even though it’s likely to be predictable. I enjoy films that are made up of a lot of different stories pieced together, even if they can feel rushed – like Love Actually – they’re often worth seeing.
