Love is in the air for Kevin James in "Solo Mio," and so is James himself, propped up on a horse and riding through the beautiful landscape of Tuscany.
"It was a little scary, to be honest, because I was not in control," the "King of Queens" actor says. Before making the romantic comedy (in theaters Feb. 6), "the closest I got to that was a pony when I was 4. No animals between my legs for, gosh, 56 years. So it was a pony, and then a thoroughbred."
"Solo Mio" stars James as art teacher Matt Taylor, who ventures to Rome with his fiancée (Julie Ann Emery) for a destination wedding but gets left at the altar. Heartbroken, Matt decides to make the most of a terrible situation, sticking with his already-paid honeymoon tour of Italy, making friends and possibly finding love again with a kind local coffee shop owner (Nicole Grimaudo).
Art teacher Matt Taylor (Kevin James, right) is left at the altar and goes on his Italian "honeymoon" anyway in the romantic comedy "Solo Mio."
So far James has received rave reviews from his kids – daughters Sienna-Marie, 20, Shea, 18, and Sistine, 11, and son Kannon, 14 – which is not always the case. Some of them liked "Paul Blart: Mall Cop" when they were younger, but now "they're a little bit more highbrow," James says. "They're like, 'Why are you always falling down?' And I'm like: 'Yeah, OK. I see what you're saying.' But this one, I'm proud to say, is my entire family's favorite."
James talks with USA TODAY about the new movie, going viral in those Matt Taylor social videos and where in Italy you can get a surprisingly good meal.
This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
Question: You have your first romantic lead role here at age 60 ...
Kevin James: By the way, you're welcome. I know you've been asking people constantly, 'When is he going to be the romantic lead? Not just in a romantic comedy but take over the reins.' But, yes, it's happened.
That's some "I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry" erasure, but we'll let it slide.
(Laughs) That's true. I stand corrected.

When in Rome, Matt (Kevin James) befriends local coffee-shop owner Gia (Nicole Grimaudo) in "Solo Mio."
How do you approach a lead romantic role at 60 differently than you may have at, say, 40? Do you feel like that extra life experience better prepared you to play Matt?
One hundred percent. I mean, every character that I played before, from Paul Blart to these other characters, these are all experiences like obstacles in our lives that we have to overcome to get us to the point where, hey, there's always something better. This, for me, is the highlight of my career.
I aspire to be this guy. I love this character. So I had to go through all those other experiences and family life. And yeah, it didn't happen when I was 40. I was a different guy, so it took time to get here. It's late, but that's part of the story, that it's never too late.
Kevin James (right, with Bernie McInerney) says his kids used to like "Paul Blart: Mall Cop" but now their tastes are "a little bit more highbrow."
You've done a lot of PG movies, maybe more than your contemporaries. Has that always been important to you, making films the broadest audience possible can enjoy?
You try to catch the broad (audience), but it's also gotten me into trouble, because you end up pleasing some people and then upsetting others. I definitely gear my movies toward everybody coming to be able to enjoy it and be comfortable sitting with their family watching it. But this is not a kids' movie. You're going through the ups and downs of life, but yet it's still OK for everybody.

You're Hollywood-famous and you've become Internet-famous for things like the "Kevin James shrug" meme. Can you explain your inherent virality?
I cannot, which is so weird. That came up out of nowhere. My kids told me about it. I didn't know what it was, and I didn't get it for the longest time. And then I just laughed at it. It was goofy and humbling, and it brought me back to the day I shot those (promotional) photographs. I remember how uncomfortable I was, trying to do ("The King of Queens") and not being myself and trying to be what they wanted. When you don't know anything, you're just going along with the program. You're happy to be there. And you can clearly see in that or if I'm climbing up out of a sewer and you see me in a picture, you know I was talked into it, because I'm not choosing to do that. (Laughs)
Kevin James (center) attends the Miami world premiere of "Solo Mio" with daughter Shea (from left), wife Steffiana, daughter Sienna-Marie, son Kannon and daughter Sistine.
Do you feel like you've entered a different phase in your life?
A lot of people look at it as, wow, you're getting old, but there's a comfort in being able to choose and try to make the right decisions and, put it this way, I'm not coming up out of a sewer anymore. There's a comfort in being who you are and knowing that people are going to love you and people are going to hate you. It's life. You realize how unimportant some things are and how important other things are. That's maturity. I think I'm getting better still to this day and still obviously making mistakes, but growing. So as long as I can keep going, waking up and doing that, hopefully (at) 70, I'll be better than 60.

While filming "Solo Mio" in Italy, what was the one greatest meal you had while there?
That's asking me to choose which child I love the most. Any gas station that you stop at, that food has a 95% chance of being better than anything in America. They have steaks and pasta and really good stuff. What I love about America is you'll miss like a crappy hamburger. I need a sauce. I need a little bit of chemicals in there. It's a little magic, it's the powder in the Kraft macaroni and cheese that just lights my life up that is an orange color that I've never seen before, but I don't know if I can live without it. That and peanut butter.
