| New, new, new. Acing is old hat for Jesse Bradford. He appeares in a Q-Tip ad as an infant. He played the son of Robert DeNiro in 'Falling in Love' and of Harison Ford in 'Persumed Innocent' and at age 13 was the star of Steven Soderbergh's 'King of the Hill'. Now 21 he's still going strong....between film classes at New Yorks Columbia University (he has just finished his junior year) he's managed to fit in some more flicks like 'Speedway Junky' and 'Dancing at the blue Iguana.' Next he stars with Kirsten Dunst in the comedy 'Bring It On'. What he really wants to do when he wakes up in the morning, though, it not to act, but to play his guitar. We asked him to complete these thoughts.... In Bring It On I play....oh, a punk rocker who plays guitar, which was fun because I'm a musician....I play blues and funk rock. I'm learning to play jazz. The hardest thing about being a child actor was....it's always been cool 'cause I got to go to exotic places. I had friends who were getting part time jobs flipping burgers and here I was going on adventures and hanging with famous people. The biggest purchase I made at age 16 was....My snowboard which i bought for like, $400. If I could be anything other than an actor I'd be....a guitar player in a band. But I think I can act and play in a band. Being in college while acting professionally is....starting to cramp my style. I have a lot of friends who are just in school and their lives seem a lot less stressful. Sometime I wish I was just acting or just going to school and not doing both. When I'm not on the set or studying, I....hang out with my friends. We go to a club in New York City called Verucas and we play 'army men'. It's the best video game in the history of video games. The weirdest thing about being in showbiz is....the way some people out there think they know more about me than I do. The most exciting thing about being famous is....the power. It's intriging. The ability to walk into a restaurant and just get a table blows my mind. It's like, 'That's Jesse Bradford, let him through.' If big fame comes, I'll....deal with it graciously. If it doesn't I'll probably thank my lucky stars I didn't have to deal with it. Back to Interviews. |
