Idris Elba stars as Quentin Credit: Screen Gems

Hot, hunky and busy actors Idris Elba, last seen in Tyler Perry's feature Daddy's Little Girls and opposite Hilary Swank in The Reaping and Columbus Short of Stomp the Yard, Save the Last Dance 2 and the comedy Accepted play brothers Quentin and Claude in the family dramady This Christmas. Quentin (Idris) is a musician with heavy gambling debts and Claude (Columbus) is in the military. Both bros come to the family home in L.A. for the holidays where all sorts of family dysfunction, both comic and serious, takes place.

We sat down with the two actors in Beverly Hills recently and found them to be mega-funny and friendly. Idris has got his smooth U.K. accent (which he ditches for the film) and Columbus is really cute in his glasses. After the guys compliment and dis each other on their choices of colorful wardrobe, we asked them some questions:

TeenHollywood: We got the feeling that all the actors in this movie lived in a house for two months as a family to get the chemistry because frankly you don't look like brothers and sisters but you all made it work.

Idris: That's actually great that's coming across, you know, in the film because that was what it was like when we were making this film. We had such a great synergy together. I don't know. I don't have any brothers and sisters in real life so I could just imagine this is what my brother would be like.
