"It doesn't matter that he talks about it. It's like, 'Come on, guys, just shut up. Just get on with it and live your lives and stop whining about it,'" the 40-year-old actor told the mag. "I prefer not to whine about it."
"Some people poke you like you're an animal in a zoo, looking for a response," he added. "If you're smart, you don't give it to them. If you're dumb, occasionally, like me, you give it to them. And then they've basically got what they wanted. I usually regret it afterwards."

"I was scratching my head when I heard that," he told E! News. "I said, 'When on earth would I have said that?'"
"I've got immense respect for him and I can't even begin to imagine the invasion of his privacy," he continued of the 'Monuments Men' actor/director. "Our lives don't even begin to compare. He's a true movie star. I'm just somebody who was lucky to get a job."
