Funny man Vince Vaughn gives an interesting interview in the new Parade Magazine.  He talks a little about past relationship with Jennifer Aniston saying: ⿿I have such a great friendship with Jennifer. I still talk to her constantly. I have a real, genuine connection with Jen.⿿

Here’s some Q&A’s from the article.  And some pictures below from his photoshoot (sorry Melissa, there’s none of him inhaling an icecream cone this time, but you can always click HERE to check it out again!)

Now you’re doing a film with Reese Witherspoon, and there’s been a lot of tabloid gossip that you guys have been mad at each other.   “I think there were stories that we were clashing on the set.  That couldn’t be further from the truth.  I adore her.  She’s not only a great actress, she’s very funny.  We’ve been having a really good time.  You predicted that the press would say that we were dating, but they went the other way and said we’re fighting.  The two of us get along great.”
 
There was an avalanche of stories about the tough time that Owen Wilson went through recently.  What’s your take on what happened?   ”Owen Wilson is still a very close friend. Honestly, he’s the nicest, smartest, greatest guy in the world.  I don’t really know what happened to him, truthfully, and I don’t really care.  I don’t think anyone knows.  Everyone has stuff to go through.  We all do in life.”
 
You talked to me about not having a cell phone.  In car-crazy L.A., I’ve heard that a set of wheels hasn’t been number one on your list either.   “I’ve never been big on cars. When I first got to Hollywood, I bought a used car from Avis.  I drove that until I almost had to pay someone to tow it away.   Then, after Swingers, the producers bought me a used Ford Bronco.”

“Meanwhile, once I made some money, I had been buying brand new cars for members of my family.  So they finally all pitched in and bought me a new car that I still drive — a Pontiac Firebird convertible.  But, it’s only the third car I’ve had since I’ve been here.”

Is it more than a coincidence that you and your sisters all have names that begin with “v”?   “My dad’s name is Vernon and my mom liked the initials, VV.  My sisters and I got named Victoria, Valerie and Vincent so we’d be VV’s, too.  But, then when you start getting pets’ names that start with a ‘v,’ it’s a little embarrassing.  When you are Vince Vaughn, and you go out to scream for ‘Viking’ the dog to come home, that’s a little much.  Then, Mom started looking in a dictionary for names and we ended up with a female Chihuahua, named Vanadis after some mythological goddess.  So Victoria, Valerie and Vince were out playing with Vanadis.  When I finally got a dog, I named him Rowdy.  I had to break the chain.”
 
You’ve said that you don’t need a family of your own since you have your sisters’ kids. Are you still having fun being Uncle Vince?   “I just got a cold from being around them. Every time I’m with them I get sick. So I’m all congested, but I love them to pieces.”
