What he secretly
looks for in a girl |
|
When
J-14 chatted with Eric Lively, the cutie from So Weird and American
Pie, we had to as him personal stuff. Here it is!
Name:
Eric Lively
What
has a girl done recently to make you notice her?
Some
came up to me in a music store and just started talking to me. It
was cool because she wasn’t shy to tell me she
thought
so weird was cool and that she loved "American Pie and I had
never even met her before.
What’s
your dream date?
To
not plan the date, just to be by myself on a tropical island and the
girl of my dreams just happens to be there.
What’s
the worst thing a girl can do on a date?
I
hate hearing why a girl is perfect for me. When I am on a date and
she’s constantly reminding me of our compatible
qualities
I’m instantly turned off.
Do
you have a secrete crushed on a celebrity?
Britney
Spears
Where
do you usually bring a girl on a first date?
I
love quiet places, like parks or beaches, you get to learn more
about a person when there is nothing else around.
Any
embarrassing moments you’d like to share?
In
ninth grade I liked a girl (who didn’t like me) and I hung out
with her friends at lunch so she’d notice me, but they all
ignored
me. One Day I was eating a sandwich and a bee landed on it and I
toll a bite and it stung my lip, it hurt so bad
and
my lip got so big and everyone made fun.=(

Up
Close and Personal with Eric Lively

From the cover of the Abercrombie catalog,
to American Pie and now on the Disney Channel's So Weird, Eric
Lively is causing a heat wave across the U.S. Check it out as we go
one-on-one with this blue-eyed babe!
Blast-
You just finished your first season of So Weird.
How did it go?
Eric - It was great. We
did 26 episodes in Vancouver. The weather was pretty
extreme----it got really, really cold. On the set,
sometimes you have to be in a city that's warm because
we're going to every city in America. We would have on
a T-shirt or shorts in cold weather.
Blast
- In the cold weather?
Eric - In the freezing
cold weather. Sometimes it would be warmer in
Vancouver, so we would dress lighter. But then when it
was really cold, we would have to dress the same to
keep continuity on the episode. It was funny, tough.
I started getting into my character more. Replacing
Erik's (von Detten) character, sort of, was difficult
because I didn't know exactly what they wanted
and how much they wanted be to be like Erik, and how
much they wanted me to be own. I had the whole season
to develop my character and with this season, I'm a
little more secure with it all.
Blast
- What can we expect from the second season?
Eric - I can't tell you
what to expect. You'll have to watch.
Blast
- Do you have any embarrassing stories from
Vancouver?
Eric - I became friends
with this girl up in Vancouver. I actually thought we
were becoming more than just friends. So we were just
hanging out and I was in her car. She was driving me
back to my house; we had just seen American Beauty.
She had her seat belt on and I was sitting in the car
talking to her, waiting for the kiss good night. Well,
she leans in to take her seatbelt off, and I thought
she was leaning in for a kiss. So I leaned over to
kiss her and she didn't have the same idea. She kinda
jerked back and looked at me. Meanwhile my eyes are
half closed and I was totally in a different place.
She was like, "What are you doing?" But she
knew what I was doing. I was trying to play it off
saying, " Where is that seat belt----oh, good,
you found it," and I just left. After that,
she continually reminded me about how great it was to
be single, and how good friends we were. It was awful.
Blast
- I guess even actors get their hearts broken.
Eric - I guess so.
Blast
- You were in Mandy Moore's video, "Walk Me
Home." How did that come about?
Eric - It was awesome. I
had so much fun. The video was about this celebrity,
me, and Mandy goes to see me at the premiere of a
movie. You see this sign above the theater, "
Eric Lively in ICE BLUE." I get out of the
Mercedes and all the fans are screaming. Mandy comes
to the premiere with two of her friends, who are actually friends of her from home. Mandy is singing
her song---- and
she starts fantasizing about switching places with my
co-star. |
|
She
imagines us together at an ice skating rink. It was a
really pretty set.
Blast
- What was it like working with Mandy?
Eric - She's a lot of fun.
She was so nice!
Blast
- Did sparks fly on the set?
Eric - I was
trying----Only kidding! I thought she was cute,
though.
Blast
- How does acting in a video differ from acting
on a TV show?
Eric - It's a little more
dramatic. You don't play the subleties in a video, you
don't say anything like you would while acting. In
videos, you have one shot to express what you're
feeling by the expression on your face. That look has
to say " Oh, you're the girl of my dreams. Where
have you been my whole life."
Blast
- What are your plans in 2000?
Eric - I'm doing a movie.
I just started doing the rehearsals on it. It's called
The Beauty Loop. I play a college student. It's a
romantic story between two people that have different
views. It should be out by the summer, or a little
after. Right after we shoot the movie, I go directly
to So Weird, so I don't have any downtime in between.
Blast
- Would you like to say anything to our readers?
Eric -
When I was younger, I was really unpopular. I was also
really obsessive over some celebrities. I would have
loved to know if anyone of them had problems because
it was so difficult for me. When you're younger, you
never realize how petty people can be and that
eventually, you'll escape it. If I ever heard that
someone I admired had that experience, I would be
really happy to hear it. I guess you can't preach,
"You can't be mean," but I want people to
know that it's not "it." I'm still young,
I'm only 18-years-old, but I still know what it's
like. That's all.
Blast
- Do you ever talk to anyone from those days? Do
they look at you now and say. "Whoops! We should
have talked to you more."
Eric - I get really weird
calls, or my parents will get calls from the people
who never talked to me. "Where's Eric. I haven't
seen him in forever." They want to get involved
in my life----as if they ever were.
Blast
- One last thing that we're all dying to know...do
you have a girlfriend?
Eric - No, I don't have a
girlfriend right now. Everything has been so busy;
I've been everywhere that I don't have time. Looks
don't matter; personality is really important to me. |

that girls?! Wouldn't you love to be his leading lady? That's what
