But then I decided that maybe I could playthis guy as kind of doughy, like a doughy supermodel," Owen said on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. "They don't always have to be ripped, right? So I wentthat direction. And I think when you see the movie, I think you'll like thatchoice. It's more human, it's more inclusive."
