Josh Gad and Andrew Rannells, who star as mismatched Mormon missionaries in Broadway's The Book of Mormon, are very close friends, but both agree that they would make terrible lovers.

In its August issue, Playbill asks the Tony-nominated pair, "If you were sexually compatible, would you make a good couple?"

"No, I'd be too controlling," says Rannells. "I'd micromanage everything Josh did."
"Yeah, he'd eat me alive," says Gad. "I'd be the abused housewife, sitting at home, crying, knitting. I'd be a knitter."

The duo, who describe themselves as "the next Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel," also recommend performers to replace them in The Book of Mormon. "I feel like Justin Bieber's career will be on the skids when I leave, so he'll come crawling to Broadway," jokes Rannells.

"And when I'm done, Louie Anderson will probably be looking for a comeback," Gad adds. "Louie and the Biebs -- I'd pay $800 to see that."
