- Paul Feig told Hemsworth Kevin would be Australian, too, if he accepted the role so he could be himself.[4]
- Chris Hemsworth almost quit the night before he was scheduled to start filming because nothing changed in the new draft of the script despite Feig's comments a month prior.

Hemsworth felt ridiculous on the set and decided to use that feeling during filming.[5]

- When Kevin trips after being hired, that is Chris Hemsworth actually tripping.[7]

"The night before I was shooting, I almost pulled out," Hemsworth says. "Three or four weeks prior, Paul said to me, 'I'm going to write up the character. Don’t worry.' And then I got the script and nothing had changed." His agent, Bryan Lourd, set up a last-minute meeting with Feig, who assured Hemsworth there would be a lot to do — through improvisation. "I was really scared walking onto that set," Hemsworth says. "I had no real plan, so I was just feeding off of them, and I just felt ridiculous. So I used that.""
