Brydon and Steve Coogan play versions of themselves in the food-oriented franchise.
“I think its a feeling of wanting to quit while were ahead.
It just felt like an ending.”

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: How do you choose which countries to visit?
ROB BRYDON: Michael Winterbottom does all that.
Steve and I, we really do just turn up and color in the outline that Michael creates.
Its really him, and then we step in and perform.
The biggest difference is were not combative.
I dont niggle at him.
We dont sit around doing impressions.
All of that is just looking for comic constructs, looking for conflict and drama and comedy.
Thats usually what we do.
Because hes always been off traveling and doing something, so hell tell me about that.
Its just not niggly.
And this idea of arguing about who does the best impressions, neither of us could care less.
So its just far calmer.
We talk about middle-aged, middle-class things.
Thats very disappointing, Rob, I’ve got to say.
Im sorry, Im sorry.
Because of the coronavirus pandemic, the film now seems like its from a completely different time.
I know, it really does.
Do you think this is the best time or the worst time to be releasing this film?
I think it depends if youre a glass-half-full or half-empty person, I suppose.
If youre a glass-half-full person, you’ll say, “Fantastic!”
and if youre not youll say, “I dont want to see that.”
But yeah, it gives it a whole other angle.
I do think of the four of them this is definitely the prettiest to look at.
The Trip to Greecewill be released May 22 in select theaters and on Digital and VOD.
