Just add bartending to Jason Sudeikis' list of talents.

The former Saturday Night Live funnyman was on hand to pass out the drinks following the premiere of his new movie, Colossal, at the SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas on Friday.

Clad in a black and blue flannel shirt and grey newsboy cap, the actor looked every bit the hip bartender as happily stepped behind the bar to serve up drinks at the after party for his new film.

Looking right at home with his new gig, the 41-year-old was seen handing out beers while talking to guests at the party.

It was a rare night out for the family man, who shares kids Otis, two, and Daisy, four months, with longtime partner Olivia Wilde, 33.

Talking about fatherhood, Jason told People in 2015 'it takes a village'.

'We have a tiny village known as Brooklyn,' he joked. 'But it really comes down to communication, and using all of these devices that we use too often to distance ourselves, to actually bring us closer together.'

And when he's not busy working - or passing out beers - Jason said his favorite thing is to just watch Bear Grylls with his son.

'He calls me Dada. I think that’s hilarious, mind-blowingly hilarious,' he added. 'Maybe not hilarious in the conventional sense of a Chris Rock joke, or a Louis C.K. TV show, but it’s hilarious to me. I never thought that was going to happen and that it would be so intoxicating when it did.'

Colossal, which hits cinemas on April 7, sees the actor teaming up with an all-star cast, including Dan Stevens, Anne Hathaway and Austin Stowell.

The sci-fi comedy tells the story of a hard-partying woman named Gloria, played by Anne, 34, who after breaking up with her boyfriend, finds herself back in her hometown, where she reconnects with her childhood friend, played by Jason.

After a wild night out, Gloria discovers there's a monster raging through Seoul, which is somehow strangely connected to her.
