Smith, 46, talked about the film on Ellen DeGeneres on her talk show, reported Us magazine.

"You know, it was really interesting, because there were a lot of guys. There were a lot of famous people...So, everywhere I go, there's someone who's been in their underwear with my wife," he joked to DeGeneres on her show, gesturing toward her DJ Stephen 'tWitch' Boss, who has a role in the film. "It's just awkward. It's just awkward, Ellen."

Turning to tWitch, he added, "You know, she spoke very highly of you. I guess that didn't come out right either. It's just awkward. It's just awkward."
