John Barrowman rocks my world
I know something you don't know. I know something you don't know. And maybe you'll only care if you care about Torchwood. Which you should. So there.
I just had the undiluted pleasure of interviewing that hot piece of actor, John Barrowman aka Captain Jack. I had read that the third season of Torchwood was going to be only five episodes and was wondering why. Well, the reason is the show, which started on BBC3, and then got promoted to BBC2, is now going to BBC1 and they want to start there with a splash and give the move a greater impact. "But if we come back for series four, it will be ten episodes."
So the lucky British will get a week (or Monday-Friday at any rate) of Torchwood in one swoop. We here in the colonies, will get the second season starting in August on Space.
You can read my interview with Barrowman in Saturday's paper, but in the meantime, here are some completely random questions.
What's a common misconception about you?
That I'm overly confident.... That everything always goes my way. It doesn't.
What's the first movie you remember seeing?
The one that pops into my mind is The Junglebook.
What's your favourite sports team?
I have to say Chelsea because it's the team where I live. But Man. United is pretty hot. *предатель Но то что МэнЮнайтед для него is pretty hot это мне несомненно понравилось) *
What car do you drive?
I have, wait ... [counts] I have seven cars. *Джон, удочери меня. Всё буду делать!!!* But I don't drive all of them. [proceeds to list all of them] I have a DeLorean. If got that because the Doctor has a Tardis and the Captain has to have something to travel in... I am conscious of my carbon footprint. But as a kid I always loved cars and I always thought I'd want a car collection.
What's the first thing you would rescue if your house was on fire?
My dogs. *АГА!!! Значит вот так любит он Скотта Гилла...* I'd grab them. [pause] Because I know that my partner could get out. He'll read this and go 'what are you talking about?'
What do you most like about yourself?
It's hard to say that kind of thing, because it's going to sound like you're padding yourself on the back, but I actually like the fact that I can fit into any kind of situation and talk to anybody. Whether you're a king or a pauper.
What do you most dislike?
I'm impatient and I have a bit of a temper.
Coffee or tea?
Coffee. Triple shot.
Favourite comic book hero?
[looks pained] Ohhhh. That is a loaded question. I have two. The one is completely stereotypical, but I have to say Superman, because I think that if I were a super hero I would want to be Superman. My second — because the only thing he has to protect him is the shield — would have to be Captain America.
Favourite electronic gadget?
Blackberry. *ххи*
Whom did you last want to punch in the nose?
The parking attendant 20 minutes ago.
What's your favourite place in the world?
I haven't been around the world, so I would have to answer you on a very basic level: There's nothing I like more than sitting with Scott and our dogs in front of the television watching a movie.
What's your favourite vegetable?
Broccoli.
What would you like it to say on your gravestone?
I had a great time and don't cry because I'm lying here with a smile on my face.
What's your favourite swear word?
[says really bad four-letter word that doesn't start with 'f'] *Это же что же за оно такое слово не начинающееся на F??? *Ушла изучать британские ругательные слова дальше* *
Can money buy happiness?
No. Money can buy you a lot of nice things and make your life a lot easier. *вот это я поддерживаю..*
When was the last time you cried?
A real cry? A few weeks ago when we had to put one of our dogs down. *эхъ..(*
What book are you reading right now?
I'm ashamed to say I'm not reading anything at the moment. My sister would be appalled. I have Car and Driver and Male Vogue in a bag.
What's the bravest thing you've ever done?
I don't think anything particularly heroic or brave. I think if you can be a good human being on a daily basis, that's being brave.
What the strangest thing you have ever been sent by fans?
A dildo. Actually a vibrator ... It was a Klingon that sent it to me, I kid you not. And I don't need any more stuffed animals... I'm 41 years old. I may be a gay man but I like cars. I don't need any stuffed cutie-pie teddies. I would much rather you spend those dollars or pounds on a charity.
