Vince Vaughn believes acting in comedies is harder than dramas.

So I've always felt the real thing to do is make it effortless

The 'Couples Retreat' star insists the key to good acting is to make it look effortless, which is difficult when you are also trying to make the audience laugh.

He explained: "The job of an actor is to look like you're not acting. Sometimes I think people reward people who go to extreme emotions. I can look at it, and other actors can look at it, and go, 'I can see the work in it.' But people go, 'That must be powerful because you're crying.' But, that would make everyone's crazy aunt a great actor.

"So I've always felt the real thing to do is make it effortless. Like any performer in music, on stage they look effortless, but there's a lot of work that goes into looking effortless. The same thing for the dialogue with comedies. Comedies are much more difficult, especially when they're story comedies, than drama."
