L.A Times interviews Jonathan Groff-1 video and pics

via Glooce

The Tony nominee says he's grateful for the experience he's gaining alongside Alfred Molina in the play 'Red' and Kelsey Grammer in the TV series 'Boss'.

Jonathan Groff, 27, who earned a Tony nomination for "Spring Awakening," squares off opposite Alfred Molina in the Mark Taper Forum's production of "Red," about the Abstract Expressionist painter Mark Rothko. Groff also joins the cast of Starz's original series, "Boss," as the assistant to Chicago Mayor Tom Kane (Kelsey Grammer), which has just returned for its second season.

It's interesting that you play an assistant-apprentice in both "Boss" and "Red," but the characters are pretty different. Can you talk about your roles?

I feel that the best way to learn is to work with people who are better than you. On "Boss," I got to play the assistant to Kelsey Grammer, who is an incredible actor and doing something in that show that I think nobody has ever seen him do, and he's just killing it. And then to play the assistant to Alfred Molina [as Rothko]. He's just a total beast onstage, and getting to see him play Rothko, which I think is one of those stage performances that people years from now will say, "I got to see Alfred Molina play Mark Rothko in that production of 'Red,'" and it goes down in theater as one of those historical performances. The fact that I got to play the assistant to both of those actors playing both of these characters was a huge lesson and growing experience for me, and both happened to be generous, sweet men.

So what were the lessons?

It's learning by osmosis, by acting with them and soaking it in and seeing how they work. Certainly in my experience with Fred [Molina], I get to do the same play with him every day in a two-character, so we spend 90 minutes onstage together going back and forth every night, which is different from being with Kelsey, being on set doing the scene once and then never again.Kelsey's process is fascinating: Kelsey turns that character on and off in the blink of an eye. It's insane. And the way he knows how to work the camera, he would coach me even on camera angles and where to look and how to stand. It's watching a master at work and taking mental notes. Then with Fred, watching him night after night re-create these incredible moments and keep it fresh every night is a lesson. It's the best way to learn. I never went to college for acting. I moved to New York pretty much right after high school, so all of my training has been on the job.

It's interesting that you play apprentices and, in real life, there's that element to your work. In "Boss," your character is learning to out power-grab the power-grabber, but in "Red," your character is told to "banish the father ... respect him but kill him." In real life, since your generation will be paying a big chunk of the tab for boomers' excesses, do you have a sense of how your peers view the world they're inheriting? Is it something they want to emulate or smash?

Certainly every person is different. Our generation comes with this world of social media and self-empowerment in feeling the need to share everything on the Internet at all times. Playing the character, what resonates with me is hearing Fred talk about the importance of having reverence for the past and knowing what's come before you in order to move ahead; that's really hitting me in a big way. And I think it's something my generation needs to hear a little bit more of, which is to say I think we all feel really empowered to share by Facebook and Twitter, but oftentimes the listening is going out the door. Sometimes there's a little more output and a little less input.

You weren't familiar with modern art before "Red." Has the play sparked your interest in it?

It really has. I was doing "Boss" [in Chicago] right before I came here to do the play, and they just happened to be doing a Roy Lichtenstein retrospective at the Chicago Art Institute, which I got to check out.

Whom you mention in the play.

Yes, and who's the background of my phone right now and is the poster in my dressing room. I'm inspired by that exhibit. Then during a day off from rehearsal, I flew to Houston for the day and went to see the Rothko Chapel, which is really fascinating. I was reading a lot about Rothko and Jackson Pollock and their art and opinions of their art, and seeing the art was so much more affecting than simply reading about them. We took a little field trip from rehearsal to go to MOCA. I went to "The Painting Factory" exhibit between shows with Fred last weekend. Fred's voice is always in my head; whenever I look at a painting, I hear, "Lean into it. Engage with it. Let it affect you." So it's more fun now to look at art because I feel so ready to be open to it. I'm so blessed and lucky that I got to do this play, because it busted open a whole other side of me that wasn't there before.

You grew up in Amish country in Pennsylvania, and your father is a Mennonite horse trainer and driver. He's not a cabbie; he races them, yes?

Yes, it's harness racing.

Does your father eschew 20th and 21st century technology?

I was raised Methodist. My mom is Methodist, my dad was raised Mennonite. Amish are the ones with the horse and buggy, and Mennonites are very conservative — like my grandmother wore a covering over her head and simple handmade dresses — but they definitely drive cars and tractors. A lot of them are farmers. It's simple living. Interestingly, the Mennonites in my hometown are very close with the Amish. My grandmother had Amish people work in her garden and clean her house, and the Amish are allowed to ride in cars but not drive them. So I would drive the Amish from her house to their farms.

Professionally, you were involved in community theater in Pennsylvania. Was there much between that and being cast in the lead role in "Spring Awakening"?

When I graduated from high school, I went on tour for a year with "The Sound of Music," and then went from that to living in New York; after a year and a half in New York, I got "Spring Awakening." So there was a year and a half of auditioning and waiting tables and doing summer stock, and then I did an understudy role in a Broadway flop musical. And right after that, I got "Spring Awakening."

 

Let's talk about that Newsweek critic who, when you were guest-starring in "Glee" two years ago, said you were unconvincing as Lea Michele's character's straight love interest. He said, you seemed "more like your average theater queen." You're laughing now, but how did you feel about that at the time?

To be honest, I feel the same way now as I did then. Here's the deal — I go to my auditions and plug away and try and do my best. People are going to say whatever they're going to say about your performance, and at the end of the day, you can't let that stuff affect you. Everyone is entitled to his opinion, and it started a lot of good conversations probably. All I can do is laugh and keep moving forward. Sexuality is such an interesting thing. Unless you're playing a very effeminate person, a stereotypical queen, it's hard to say what it means to play gay.

You casually came out at a gay rights event in 2009, and you're featured in the current issue of Out magazine. And you and Zachary Quinto are public about being a couple. So what do you think about gay actors who stay in the closet?

Ultimately everyone has their own journey. The more people that come out the better, because it makes it easier for the next generation of people coming out, and it makes people more comfortable with it, the more people they know. But at the end of the day, if people don't want to come out, it's their personal choice. I feel really blessed to be living in 2012. Certainly there's a long way to go, but I feel really positive about how, even in the last 10 years, being gay has become more accepted.

Liam Hemsworth: InStyle Interview

Known for playing sensitive good guys in The Hunger Games and The Last Song (where he met his fiancée Miley Cyrus), the youngest Hemsworth is looking to challenge his brother Chris- aka Thor- for action hero primacy. As an ex-sniper who goes by the name of Billy the Kid, Hemsworth joins the grizzled mercenary crew reuniting fo this months Expendables 2. The combat newbie is in good hands, rubbing shoulders with a cast of experienced skull-crackers like Dolph Lundgren and Sylvester Stallone. 


InStyle: You moved to L.A. from Australia three years ago. What’s one of your favorite things about America?

Liam: Southern accents. Whenever I go to Nashville or am around my fiancée’s family, I just end up talking like them. I love the South in general. There’s a lot of deep fried food, and the people really remind me of Australians- very laid back.



InStyle: A buff action star who chows down on fried food?! what else do you eat?

Well, if I’m losing or gaining weight for a role, I try to stick to a Paleo diet- meat, vegetables, and fruit, nothing processed- and adjust the amounts. Othewise, when I’m in New York, all I can think about is pepperoni pizza. I love the New York-style thin crust. I don’t cook that much anymore, but I like doing stir-fries and pastas, or I’ll coat shrimp with shredded coconut and fry them in coconut oil. 

InStyle: Again with the frying!

Liam: I cook a bunch of things in coconut oil. I feel it’s healthier than other oils. I’d never seen it until I got to the U.S.

InStyle: You’re an amateur chef- a girl’s dream. Describe your ideal woman.

Liam: My fiancée. She’s extremely happy and has a sense of humor about life. And she has taught me you can step back and not take everything so seriously. Happy, positive, fun- those qualities are good in anyone.

InStyle: Speaking of Miley, does she ever weigh in on your wardrobe?

Liam: She doesn’t care. My style is very inconsistent. One day, I’ll put together a cool outfit, and the next, I’ll look like a homeless person. Mostly I’m a T-Shirt and jeans- Levis or Nudie. I purchased a couple of Converse hoodies the other day. They make really good, soft cotton sweaters. But I stole this Vince shirt from the [wardrobe racks on the] InStyle shoot.

InStyle: Um, moving on. I see you have a fuchsia iPhone case.

Liam: Thank you for noticing. I had a leather one, but it fell apart. I found this at home. Yes, I have a pink iPhone. And yes, my friends make fun of me.

InStyle: What music is on there?

Liam: I like ‘60’s, ‘70’s, ‘80’s rock. I’ve been listening to “Head Over Heels” by Tears for Fears nonstop. I’ll sing along as well [laughs]. Rod Stewart, Zac Brown- have you heard of Matisyahu? He’s got a great song called “One Day.” And I love Nirvana. I play Simon and Garfunkel’s “The Sound of Silence” when I have a cry.

InStyle: Stallone is one of your co-stars. Ever sing the Rocky theme?

Liam: “Eye of the Tiger”? [Laughs] All the time. That’s the only thing I listen to when I box.

InStyle: How did the Expendables 2 cast treat the new guy?

Liam: As a young actor, it was pretty daunting to go on set, but I loved hanging out with the guys. They’ve done so many movies and they’re all friends. They’re also all ridiculously fit. Randy Couture is a UFC fighter and Jason Statham is…Jason Statham. I thought since my character is the young one, he’s supposed to be in better shape then the rest. But I felt like I was the weak link.

InStyle: Well, as the team’s sharp-shooter, at least you get to carry a huge gun. How’s your aim in real life?

Liam: Straight, but those 50-caliber sniper rifles weigh about 40 pounds! I did a bit of training with a gun specialist, but I don’t actually want to kill anything.

InStyle: Your brother Chris plays Thor. In a smack down between him and Billy the Kid, who would win?

Liam: Thor’s a God. You can never beat a God, no matter how big your gun is.



What Women Have To Say On Liam

Melissa George [Co-Star in Triangle]: ‘I knew Liam was going to be a big star from the first day I worked with him. Not only is he a great actor, he’s easy to get along with. No matter how difficult the scenes were he was willing to stay longer and make them perfect.’

Jennifer Lawrence [Co-Star in The Hunger Games]: ‘Liam is laid-back, honest, and hilarious. He has an effortless, masculine chic-he can look just as cool in jeans and a T-Shirt as he does in a suit.’

Teresa Palmer [Co-Star in Love and Honor]: Liam is the definition of what a movie star should be. He has such a warm, generous, open energy and boundless talent and charisma, making him a natural leader. It’s truly rare to find someone who has his level of success and is still so eager to learn.”



MILEY AND ME

Hemsworth talks about life as half of a hot Hollywood couple, from choosing what to wear to parenting a pet.

On the red carpet, matching outfits are purely coincidental for this duo. “We don’t usually coordinate,” he says “and I think people usually get sick of seeing black. Still, I loved when we both ended up in all black [Dolce & Gabbana for him, Pucci for her.] at The Hunger Games premiere in L.A.”

It’s not just his wife-to-be’s black-tie ensembles that get this actor’s thumbs up. He’s equally complimentary of Cyrus’ off duty attire. “Miley switches up her style all the time,” he says. “Whether it’s a nice dress or a ripped T-Shirt, she always looks good in what she’s wearing.”

For Hemsworth’s 22nd birthday in January, Cyrus gave the longtime pooch fanatic an English Bulldog puppy named Ziggy. “We always had pet dogs when I was growing up,” Hemsworth explains. “And I love English Bulldogs.”

Adam Scott gets interviewed by DETAILS magazine

Parks and Recreation's Adam Scott

Now that the 38-year-old Parks and Recreation star has landed his first lead in a feature film—this month's Friends with Kids—what's he thinking about? Channing Tatum's ass, of course.

DETAILS: Your character on Parks and Recreation, state auditor Ben Wyatt, has to "resign in disgrace" to continue dating Amy Poehler's deputy parks director. Have you ever had to do that?
Adam Scott: I resigned in disgrace from Johnny Rockets after one day. The guy was like, "All right, so here's where the fries are," and then this fifties song came on the jukebox and he's like, "Oh, excuse me for a second," and ran over to the waiters and busboys and they started singing and doing a little dance. And then he runs back and he's like, "Sorry—every time this song comes on, we all get together and sing!" And I was like, "If you'll excuse me for a second . . ." and I left. I was in uniform—a paper hat, the whole thing. Never picked that paycheck up.

DETAILS: Did you have any food-service jobs that lasted a week or more?
Adam Scott: I delivered pizza for a summer in Santa Cruz, where I grew up. It's kind of the stoner capital of California, and we also delivered calzones, Ben & Jerry's ice cream, and movies. So I'd deliver, you know, a pepperoni pizza, a cheese calzone, a Cheech and Chong movie, and some Cherry Garcia. And they would just invite me in and get me stoned. It was actually a great job.

DETAILS: Ben Wyatt openly nerds out on things like Batman and claymation. Are you harboring any nerd quirks of your own?
Adam Scott: I think that anyone my age was a big Star Wars fanatic as a kid. I also have a skill where, if you throw a movie at me, I can tell you the year it came out—anywhere from 1980 to present day, with 90 percent accuracy.

DETAILS: Okay . . . Heathers?
Adam Scott: Nineteen eighty-nine.

DETAILS: Pretty good, but IMDb also lists 1988.
Adam Scott: You know what? It was probably at Toronto in 1988, because that's in the fall—and then it came out in the spring of '89.

DETAILS: Wow, that is nerdy. So, on Parks, the cast always seems to be having a ton of fun.
Adam Scott: You don't have fun at work? You work for Details. You sit around and talk about hot dudes like Channing Tatum. That guy looks like he was sculpted out of ivory. If they made casts of asses to sell at adult stores for people to have sex with, they would use his ass. Sorry for everything I just said.

DETAILS: In Friends With Kids, you play a single New Yorker whose friends stop hanging out after they have babies. As a father of two, do you hang out only with other parents?
Adam Scott: No. But it's true that your friendships change. Me and Amy are the only people on the Parks cast who have kids, so we listen to everyone's conversations about what they're doing that weekend, and it's just like, "Fuck you, guys." Aziz [Ansari] always has to fly somewhere really awesome, do stand-up, and then hang out with some kickass people afterwards who'll all tell him how rad he is. And I'm going to a 4-year-old's birthday party.

DETAILS: You have a sex scene in which you warn Jennifer Westfeldt that you're a "grower, not a shower." Have you ever heard anyone actually say that?
Adam Scott: One time, from an actor. We were talking about doing nudity in movies. And I was like, "Now all I can do is picture your tiny flaccid penis."

DETAILS: Did you know that your cater-waiter uniform from the late, great Starz show Party Down was a popular Halloween costume last year?
Adam Scott: When we did the show, no one was watching. So a couple years later, being a thing that people dressed as for Halloween? Our minds were blown.

DETAILS: But that costume's so easy! White shirt, pink bow tie—and then everyone who wears it wins indie-cool points.
Adam Scott: So they get all the hipster cred without having to put in very much work. What's so wrong with that?

DETAILS: Step Brothers, in which you costarred with Ferrell and John C. Reilly, is another cult comedy—not everyone's seen it, but it has some diehard fans.
Adam Scott: I still can't believe I'm in that movie. It's so, so great. I remember reading the script, like, "I will never get this part, but it's going to be so fucking awesome." I couldn't believe how fucking hilarious it was. I'm saying "fuck" way too much.

DETAILS: It's okay. We're a men's magazine.
Adam Scott: Well, there you go.

DETAILS: You've done other work that's passed under the radar—anything you wish people had seen?
Adam Scott: I've done a lot of indies that just kind of disappeared. But I have to say, things that people don't see are usually shitty. Things disappear for a pretty good reason.

Two New Interviews of Spiderman Andrew Garfield

Two new Andrew G. Interviews

NEW YORK -- In the last months before he becomes a household name,Andrew Garfieldhas decided to hide in plain sight.

The British-raised actor, who will star in the reboot of the "Spider-Man" films this summer, is far from Hollywood but still under the lights:He's starring opposite Philip Seymour Hoffman in a revival of Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman" on Broadway.

Taylor Lautner In GQ Australia

Taylor Lautner In GQ Australia

There’s Something Taylor Lautner doesn’t want to talk about. He’s biting his nails. He’s having trouble making eye contact. He’s looking down at the table. And then there’s the nervous laughter, the kind that betrays a young man ill at ease.


“Oh boy,” he says.


Lautner is dressed in skinny dark jeans and lived-in black boots.His check flannel shirt is spread wide, revealing what appears to be the 19-year-old actor’s very first crop of chest hair.(LOLLL) His smile is Cruise-like, packed with the kind of porcelain that has never been stained by a lick of red wine. Lautner is flashing those teeth, shifting in his chair, because he’s uncomfortable.


We’re sitting down to lunch at L’Ermitage, a swank hotel in Beverly Hills that Lautner likes for its privacy. It’s the kind of place where everyone knows your name, but pretends they’ve never seen your face. He needs that, these days, that kind of protection. Because Twilight’s Jacob Black — the teen wolf — is mobbed wherever he goes.


“It comes down to what kind of mood you’re in,” he says. “You have to make a decision before you go out: are you willing to sign autographs and take pictures, say hello and meet new people?”






Is it upsetting?


“I wouldn’t say I get upset about it. I asked for this,” he says. “It gets frustrating. But during that frustration you say, ‘OK. Why am I frustrated? I’m doing what I love.’ But sometimes you really just want to go do whatever you want to do.”

On Angelina Jolie:
“Meeting her and getting to know her was a real pleasant surprise,” Johnny Depp tells rock legend Patti Smith, writing for Vanity Fair, of working with Angelina Jolie on their upcoming film, The Tourist. “You don’t know what she might be like—if she has any sense of humor at all. I was so pleased to find that she is incredibly normal, and has a wonderfully kind of dark, perverse sense of humor.”

Tom Felton: It's Been Totally Worth It to Lose a Little of My Childhood

Tom Felton won audiences over as Draco, the arrogant young bully of Slytherin who loved giving Harry Potter a hard time.

Christian Bale gets angry and weird about his career

Ever since tapes leaked from Christian Bale's raging rant on the set of 'Terminator Salvation,' the public learned that the real-life Batman is a very, very angry fellow. In a Q&A for Esquire's December issue, Bale is the gift that keeps on giving, as he rips into acting and expresses how he loves it when people criticize him.

Bale says he's got a huge ego, yet seems to hate himself, then comes off like Mr. Family Man. And oh yeah, he's a big Chris Farley fan. Go figure.

On his acting career: "Well, it's also just I'm bored s***less with myself."

Chris Fine raves about Tom Hardy in interview

Yesterday StarTrek.com posted an interview with Chris Pine in which he raves about This Means War co-star Tom Hardy.

The italics are my added thoughts and what I'm sure C-Fine was also thinking.

You’re shooting This Means War right now with McG directing and Reese Witherspoon and Tom Hardy joining you in front of the camera. Have you and Tom Hardy shared Star Trek stories yet?

Pine: You know, we haven’t, actually. We just talked about it briefly for the first time the other day (after we had sex). But, man, is he a hell of an actor (and lover). I don’t need to tell anyone this, but he’s going to be around for a long time (he can go all night). He’s already been around for a long time, but he’s going to explode (all over my face). He’s just tremendous (in bed).

In the interview he also talks Star Trek (duh), working with Denzel and other stuff I didn't bother to read. But you can do so at the SOURCE.


Let the party begin.

Andrew Garfield being his usual flawless self for Shortlist Magazine

 FROM SOCIAL NETWORKS TO SPIDER-MEN
An exclusive chat with Andrew



Andrew Garfield is about to kick down the door to the A-List only bathroom and wash his hands in the warm water of fame. He stars in The Social Network (a hot candidate for next year's Oscars) as Facebook supremo Mark Zuckerberg's ex-best friend Eduardo Saverin, and is about to swing onto our screens as the new Spider-Man. That's why Andrew Dickens made his way to LA to meet him.

So, great film, I assume you’re very pleased with it…

“I haven’t seen it.”

Oh. Well it’s very good.

“Doesn’t matter, doesn’t matter. That’s part of my ethos behind not seeing it. I’m trying to deal with the fact that some people might not like things. In theatre I haven’t been able to watch things back, but with film, I’d get so excited because I thought I can finally enjoy something I’m in. But every time all I can see is the holes in my performance and not the cheese. I’m not aware of any cheese. I’m trying to protect myself by not watching any more and letting go, not getting caught up in what people think. It’s really difficult to do!”

That’s going to make this interview a lot harder.
“Sorry!”

Just kidding. The Social Network doesn’t pull any punches in its portrayal of the characters. Was everyone concerned about the risks of playing real people?

“It’s a script based on a real event, but it’s still a script, still a work of imagination. I don’t know who Aaron’s sources were. He obviously used the book and he used sources. I think what’s wonderful is that it’s multi-perspective; everyone’s in the right and everyone’s in the wrong. I think that is so difficult to achieve. Only an incredibly gifted writer can do that and Aaron Sorkin is that.”

Did you Google Eduardo Saverin?
“Yeah, I came up with two photographs. That’s all I had to go on, which was disappointing. I had thought ‘I’m playing a real person who’s my age and still alive. I can steal every aspect of him and put it on screen’. On the other hand, it was very liberating. You have a picture and you project what you think this person might be. The script was genius. Sorkin writes so specifically. The characters are so specifically drawn. It’s like playing Shakespeare or Chekov or Miller. It’s high praise, but I mean it.”

Be honest, did you look at the pictures and compare yourself. Decide who was better looking?

“Ha!”

I know I would.

“Did I? I don’t remember doing that. You try to do things without judging. Of the pictures I saw he was very warm. He seemed comfortable and loose. I linked that to him being Brazilian. Thought he looked really nice. I think he’s an extremely good looking man.”

The film suggests Zuckerberg made Facebook for love. What’s the craziest thing you’ve done for a lady?

“I think people do most things for love. I’ve climbed walls and into windows, broken down locked doors. Stupid stuff. Places that I wasn’t invited.”

Ever serenaded?

“Oh, yeah. Not as eloquently as John Cusack in Say Anything, but yeah, in an ironic way. In a way that I know it would be appreciated. I’ve never killed.”

Not yet…

“Not yet… I wouldn’t rule that out. Loves is an amazing thing, it’s a propellant, it keeps us moving.”

Is David Fincher intense to work with?

“[laughs] Yeah. His ethos, which I totally agree with, is that we’re all here, we’re getting paid, let’s squeeze as much juice out of this as we can, otherwise what’s the point? I’m so lucky to be part of making films, so let’s sing for our supper. But yeah, it’s intense with him. He does multi, multi takes. But he has the freedom to because the studio trusts him; he makes great movies. Plus he’s shooting digitally, so you’re not wasting film. You just delete what you don’t want. He actually does it at the time. It’s very frightening but very liberating.”

Did you have any nights out with Justin Timberlake during filming?

“No. Afterwards, yes, but not during. We didn’t get on. Our characters didn’t get on. Not to say we didn’t get on as people, it’s just that it never came up.”

Semi-method acting? Subconcious method?

“I guess you just want to make things as authentic as possible. I guess I had a subconscious feeling towards him throughout the process. It was intense, but it was really fun. After it each take it’d be [slaps my knee] ‘well done’. But I tried to keep my distance.”

Is he a babe magnet?

“He’s Justin Timberlake! During filming it was hard, but after we began to hang out and we became friends. He’s a genuine down to earth, good human being – a really good person.”

Did you ever hit the dance-floor with him?

“No.”

It’s not really worth trying, is it?

“[laughs] Yeah, I do the dance from Boy A, just drop a pill and see what happens. No, I don’t do drugs. I said to him on numerous occasions that I want him to teach me how to dance, but he hasn’t done it yet. He doesn’t seem to be interested in helping me out with that. He’s busy. He’s tired. I’ll find a different dance teacher.”

Obvious question: how many Facebook friends have you got?

“I’m not on Facebook.”

You’re not?

“No, I stopped. I was massively on Facebook, I just decided it wasn’t healthy. Every day I’m trying not to succumb to that icon on my laptop, but so far so good.”

How many months clean are you?
“I think about two months clean. No, three or four months clean. I’m setting up support groups across LA. That’s the kind of thing LA would have.”

Did you stalk ex girlfriends’ holiday snaps?

“It’s inevitable, it’s impossible to avoid. Access to information is a dangerous, dangerous thing. It’s difficult to not look at something that may or may not be healthy for you. I didn’t get dark on it, I didn’t get stalkery, but I‘d be out of the country and I’d be looking at photos of last night’s party and getting upset that I wasn’t there. Just silly things.”

There’s a great example in the film of how crazy people get when Savarin’s girlfriend goes mental at him because of his relationship status.

“Have you seen the South Park episode about Facebook? It’s the perfect social commentary. It’s insane. Zuckerberg’s a magician. Are you on there?”

Yep.

“Why do you love it?”

Because I’m really bad at keeping in touch.

“It’s everyone’s front cover of their own Rolling Stone.”

With a photo taken from a 45-degree angle. It’s the first date thing, putting your best bits forward.

“Yeah, but these sites like Match.com – people get married, find their true love. There’s a positive side.”

They help with efficient dating. You can exchange a few emails first to make sure they’re not a racist.

“And there’s a tell-tale sign with the angle of the photo taking.”

Yeah, they’re fat.

“No! I didn’t say that. Your words!”

Did you use a real name or a fake name?

“I had a real name then a fake name. But you can’t actually delete your account.”

Yeah, and apparently every picture becomes the property of Facebook.

“Dark.”

Mark Zuckerberg and Eduardo Saverin fell out over the trifling matter of hundreds of millions of dollars. What’s the most petty falling out or argument you’ve had?

“Falling out or argument? I never really fall out with anyone.”

Well, in that case it’ll be the argument then.

“When you’re in a relationship you have ridiculously petty arguments. I think I got mad at my girlfriend for not using a coaster two nights ago. That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard in retrospect. I’m awful. When you realise those are the things you’re made up of sometimes, that’s awful. I’m going to self-flagellate as soon as I get out of here. I’m going to get my cat-o-nine-tails out of my trunk and tear up some flesh. Lateness. I get upset about that, too. There’s a scene in The Social Network when JT turns up late. I didn’t have to act nothing. I was really pissed off.”

You’re half-English, half-American – do American accents come easily to you?

“I work hard at it like any accent. No one place in America is the same as another place. It’s the same with ‘us’.”

Do you struggle with any accents?

“I haven’t been in a position where I’ve had to do a Scottish or Irish accent and that is scary to me. But it’s like training a muscle, so it doesn’t worry me. I’d just need a year to make sure I could do it convincingly and properly. Maybe live there a little while.”

Or you need to be Michael Caine. [adopts Michael Caine voice] Hello Bonny Lad.

“Or be Sean Connery and just not bother. He doesn’t need it.”

Your accent is mainly English, but do you see yourself as British or American?

“What do you mean ‘mainly’?”

Well, there’s the odd dropping of ‘T’s, but Brits all do that when over here.

“Really?”

Yeah. You say things like ‘twenny’.
“Oh yeah, but my dad’s American, so that may be my actual accent. My friends call me up on that sometimes.”

Okay, so which is it?

“Neither, I love both places, but I don’t identify with either.”

Really? I’ve prepared a little test…

“Oh dear.”

Rubbish or garbage?

“Rubbish.”

Tomarto or tomayto?

“Tomarto.”

Cadbury’s or Hershey’s?

“Cadbury’s. Are you kidding me? Hershey’s is the worst!”

It tastes of vomit, doesn’t it?

“It’s dreadful. I have no idea who eats it.”

Hershey’s kisses are like being kissed by a tramp.

“Haha! Like being kissed by Mr Hershey. [Does creepy old American man voice] ‘Would ya like a kiss?’”

Nice cup of tea or skinny mochafrappacappulatte?

“Erm, beer!”

Lager?

“Yeah, lager.”

Okay, you’re ours. You’re the new Spider-Man. No pressure. Are you prepared to go up against Robert Pattison in the teen heartthrob stakes?

“I don’t see it that way. I know why you ask that question. Rob’s a friend of mine and I care about him a lot. We’re very supportive of each other.”

I cut my holiday short and flew here from Vancouver for this interview. Before that I did two months of emailing and phoning to find a hole in your ridiculously busy schedule. How far would you go for a role? Shaved head? Starvation?

“I’d do anything.”

[simultaneously] “Sex change?” “Sex change!”

“Or get a horrible disease. No, that would be awful.”

But the sex change is okay?

“As long as they froze the member. It needs to be reversible.”

Twilight Hottie Taylor Lautner gives interview to GQ

Interview with Tay-Tay: "The whole Renesme/Jacob thing will be a challenge"


Here's an interview with 15 a 20. he talks about Breaking Dawn, Eclipse, Kristen and ~Renesmee. Another example or when reporters fangirl.


Our date with the sexy werewolf took place at the Four Seasons in Los Angeles. Taylor came in with a simple gray shirt, black jeans and a sports jacket in navy blue, and that great body of his. He came in with a smile, flashing his superwhite teeth, in contrast with his beautiful tanned skin. He’s confident in himself and friendly, and he’s very commited to this movie: “This movie is really, really, really good. Very good. I can’t wait for you to see it”.
He adds that just like in the previous films, this movie is very faithful to the books “we know what the fans want to see”.
His excitement is because he’s so excited about this movie, since it’s his favorite: “It’s probably because of the fact that three of them are together all the time for the first time ever in the series. It’s really the first time Bella is truly torn between these two guys. It’s the peak of this love triangle. I definitely enjoyed this part, but this level of action goes through the roof. It’s constant war, so it’s darker.”

Is Jacob the best choice?

One of the most important questions is, Why should Bella pick Jacob? Taylor thinks for a minute and says: “I don’t know. It’s a tough choice because both guys are great, but they’e so different from each other, they’re opposites. She really can’t choose one over the other so I think I understand her situation. Even if they’re so different, they have a lot of qualities too”.
Jacob, however, does think that the healthiest thing for Bella is to stay with him and not become a vampire, which Taylor agrees with: “Jacob has this very interesting dialogue the last time he tries to convince her that she should stay with him. And she tells her ‘you don’t have to change for me’, and I think that is very big of him. She can stay exactly like she is, and not having to deal with the other stuff. She can be just Bella and be with him. Jacob tells her ‘it’s as easy as breathing’.
Since he won’t give up, he confesses his love to Bella by saying “I’ll fight for you until your heart stops beating”. So romantic! So we asked him about their kiss “Which kiss?” he asks laughing “the one where she punches me, or the one where she really wants to kiss me? The first time we kiss it was against Bella’s will, and I get punched. It was a fun scene to shoot. Well, it’s not fun to kiss someone who doesn’t want you to kiss them and is pushing you away like this the whole time. Then I get punched. But the second one as good. We were on the top of this mountain with a beautiful landscape behind us and it was a romantic kiss. That was nice!”.

A sneak peek at Breaking Dawn.

As we know, BD will be two movies directed by Bill Condon, Taylor says: “I know he’ll make a ood film. He always does. The baby will be interesting, my relationship with Renesmee. We’ll see. I haven’t seen a script, so we’ll see what they can write that is in the books. The whole Jacob/Renesmee thing will most definitely be a challenge”.

Happy with the attention

There’s tons of action in the movie, so we asked him how he kept his muscles. He laughs saying: “It’s actually hard to keep the weight on, just as much as you get it in the first place. I didn’t do anything different, I had to keep training, but this time I studied the book more”. He says once again, that Eclipse is his favorite book, which made filming so much easier: “We’re strong, we’re fast, we have fur! I love that, we’re sexy!”.

Sad thing is, he couldn’t do many of his stunts: “many of my bests scenes are me as a wolf. That was very disappointing to me, but it looks cool! I’ve seen the movie, they did a great job with the wolves, the action sequences are cool”.

Zero personal questions, BUT…

Before the interview we were warned that no personal questions were allowed, so nobody brings out the rumor that he might have feelings for his co-stars (um, wut?). Darn! But, fortunately, he did answer some questions about being in love triangles before, like his character: “That is a good question. Maybe in elementary school I had one, but it was a little crush and I was eleven.”

Who kept the girl? He laughs harder: “I’m sure we both won”. But if was in the same situation right now, he would definitely win! Still, it looks like he wants to go on a date with someone “I’d say not really. It’s the same, it’s still hard”. We really doubt that. He’s super sweet and very mature.

Is he too picky? What does he look for in a girl? “She needs to be honest, loyal, dependable. She has to be fun, willing to just be herself and laugh at herself”.

Speaking of love, we want to know how romantic is Taylor. He luaghs, shyly: “I don’t know. It’s a complicated question. I don’t know. Maybe spending time together is enough for me, I don’t like anything too extravagant. You know, just dinner, a movie, simple things, enjoy our time together just the two of us, not having to worry about anything else, just sit on a couch and talk”.

After being involved with Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez, he must have some romantic advice, but he says “I’m 18. I’m at a stage where I don’t want anything serious right now, so I’m probably not the best person to give advice, just don’t take things too seriously and have fun!”.

Taylor says goodbye, but before, he shares what he wants for his future: “I want to challenge myself, do different types of roles and not do the same thing over and over”.

Seth Rogen To Direct 'Jay And Seth Vs. The Apocalypse' With Evan Goldberg

Seth Rogen To Direct 'Jay And Seth Vs. The Apocalypse' With Evan Goldberg

The last we heard on the "Jay and Seth Vs. The Apocalypse" front was back in April from Jay Baruchel, when he said that he and Seth Rogen were too busy at the moment to focus on bringing "Jay and Seth" to the big screen. Fortunately, a lot can happen in three months, and when MTV caught up with Rogen at "The Green Hornet" Comic-Con party, he was a bit more forthcoming about the project.

"Me and Evan [Goldberg] are writing it right now, actually, and it's come along way and it will probably be one of the next movies that we make, I would imagine," Rogen said.





As we've learned from "Arrested Development," there's a big difference between writing a movie and having written a movie, but Rogen elaborated that he and Goldberg are actually almost done with the writing process.

"It takes years to write a goods movie, that's what we've learned. We're finally going to script form. Once you're there, you're kind of on the home stretch. It means you have the key ideas to build the movie," he said.

They've been watching a lot of "The Mist" and "Tremors" to try to help find the balance between horror and comedy for "Jay and Seth." He said the film will have a group dynamic, which leads us to believe that a couple more of the usual Rogen/Baruchel friend circle will make their way into the film, despite the trailer (and title) only featuring the two of them.

But the most exciting news that came out of the interview was not that the movie was almost finished being written, but that Rogen might be the one behind the camera filming it. "I think me and Evan might direct it, which might be a big step for us," he said.

"It's a great lesson in filmmaking, honestly, that we made the trailer for the movie and now we're getting to make the movie, which is really great," Rogen added.
