British comedian Steve Coogan, who has been enjoying success in the USA, stated in an interview that he secretly loved being a target for the paparazzi and missed people harassing him. The "Tropic Thunder" actor is in the USA promoting his new film, "Hamlet 2", and appeared on the Today Show. When talking about being photographed, he said "You know what, it's always a pain in the butt when people are harassing you - and then when they stop it's even worse".

Coogan, who has been famous in the UK for years due to his comedy shows and appeared in "Curb Your Enthusiasm" as a psychiatrist in 2007, is also expected to return as Octavius in "Night at the Museum 2: Escape From the Smithsonian". When asked on his opinion on the difference between British and American humor, the comedian said "I think Americans like laughing at people who are successful and don't like failure, whereas the British like to see failures and ugly people so they can feel better about people".
