Jon Favreau Impressed By Newly Engaged Vince Vaughn's Choices

Vince Vaughn, let your pal John Favreau be the first one to welcome you to the "day shift."

Favreau, who has been married with children for a number of years, talked to PEOPLE about his friend and costar's recent engagement at the L.A. premiere of (fittingly) I Love You, Man, and what that means for Vaughn's lifestyle.

"Vince has been single for a number of years and we've been on different schedules," Favreau said. "He was sort of on the night shift; I was on the day shift, living on opposite ends of town."

And, he admits, as he settled down, "town" got smaller. "My trick really so far has been to work in town. I won't work on movies that as a director take me out of town. I like to be in California so I can be involved with my kids' school life, their personal life and be a dad and a husband," he said. "And that helps balance out the crazy hours and bigger than life career that I'm lucky to have."
