Josh Peck found working with Sir Ben Kingsley bizarre.The 'Mean Creek' actor stars opposite the veteran in the forthcoming film 'The Wackness' and says he found some scenes surprising.He told website Parade.com: "Let's just say I never thought I'd be smoking fake blunts with Ghandi. But I've always loved Sir Ben's work. "I think he acts every moment as if it's life or death. I think that's so engaging and it just made me fall in love with him."Josh plays an unlucky-in-love nerd opposite Sir Ben's marijuana smoking therapist in the movie, and says his character wasn't much of a departure from real life.He said: "I know I'm a hunk, but looks are deceiving. Look, not getting girls is the story of my life."I have always had a bit of a tough time with the ladies. I don't know whether it's that I don't have game or just don't feel comfortable in my own skin, but females pick up on that."
