Steves Parents.
I assume those were not his actual parents?
shareYes. This is from an interview with Coogan on the difficulty of playing a version of himself in The Trip.
"My biggest fear, really, was that it would be self-indulgent," he says. "Actors play my parents and actors play various people I meet, but the only real people are Rob and I. So it's a very difficult thing to try and be creative in that type of environment. But if you trust the person you're with, then you know when you're improvising you'll be able to create stuff and come up with ideas."share
