The X3 Cast Thread

[TNC9852002]

Thought this 2002 interview with Hugh was interesting with the X-Men questions.

Does that mean they have to put other actors on boxes when they stand next to you?

Yeah, particularly as Wolverine because if you notice in the film he's never taller then anyone, except for Anna Paquin's character, and I'm taller then all of them. Poor Jimmy Marsden who plays Cyclops, I mean he's not short, he's like 5ft10in, but at one point he had inch lifts on his shoes. It was like something from The Rocky Horror Show. We watched the dailies one night and you could actually see his waist and the belt on his pants. Because we're both standing next to each other he looks kind of deformed.

Didn't your wife actively try to dissuade you from taking the part in X-men because she thought it sounded a bit naff?

She read the script pages and said "You can't do this, you've got claws and you're a mutant." When you get sent just three pages of the script it can seem a bit odd. I was working at the National Theatre at the time and it seemed a little strange, but I went off and auditioned and I didn't get it, Dougray Scott was cast. Then they said "Why don't you audition for Cyclops?" I said I didn't want to wear sunglasses for five months! When it became increasingly likely that Dougray was never going to get out of M:I2 I flew up to Toronto to audition again. I had to go and do a full screen test which is on the X-men DVD. Within six days of arriving in LA, I was in Toronto about to start my first film.

Which turned you from a virtual unknown into a global name overnight. Were you prepared for all that stuff that comes with it, such as paparazzi hanging round your house?

I don't think it had hit me how big it was, because even though it was a big film, I didn't have time to work out what it could do for my career, plus those three months after I came back from filming, people weren't "Oh my God, you're in X-men." Then I was in New York about to start filming Someone Like You and there were about eight paparazzi outside my trailer. So from that point it literally did change my life.

What does it take to get Hugh Jackman into Wolverine's physique?

Unfortunately, a lot of training. I've got to have things like this [points to the egg-white omelette he's eating] which don't look that appetizing and I can't have carbohydrates. The beauty of nutrition is that you don't have to train as hard if you eat properly. There's a place here called CNM which is the centre of Nutritional Medicine which took on the English Rugby Team about two years ago and now they're like the fittest and strongest team in the world. I was put onto them and they're amazing. My Goal is to get to 94 kilograms which is about 210 pounds. Now I'm about 91, because I've been building up, but normally I'm about 88. But percentage body fat is the key. I was never in the shape I wanted to be in the first film because I got cast a week into filming. I wanted to be like 8 or 9 percent body fat and I'm now probably 13. It doesn't sound like much, but that little extra is very hard to get rid of. So it's sobriety for me, my friend, and egg-white omelettes.

Hey, I remember this..

I hadn't read it in quite some time, though..

Oh sorry, should have explained. Because it's the Kid's Choice Awards, naturally they do a lot of stuff that kids like to do. One of the big highlights is one of the celebrities gets "slimed" with green goo and they don't know about it. In 2004 when Hugh won the burping contest, Mary Kate and Ashley Olson were presenting an award and all of a sudden the ceiling opened and all this green slime came down and covered them. No one knows who gets slimed at this award show but it always happens and of course the kids eat it up.

Mary Kate and Ashley:

Believe it or not, this is Jim Carrey.

Thanks for the info! Sure looks funny to me.

The April 3-9 issue of TV Guide has an article about Rebecca - one page is a picture of her with the quote "when I see pregnant women, I get tears in my eyes. I can't wait to have kids with Jerry!"

The next page is questions and answers - the title is "Rebecca Rominj - a new series, another X-Men movie and impending nuptials have her walking on air."

The X-Men question:

Q: Now that we're on the third installment of the X-Men franchise, does your blue supervillain character Mystique get more to do?

A: No, I do less. (laughs) I can't reveal anything but it's a short but highly dramatic story line.

The rest of the questions are about her new series, being a supermodel, tabloids, and Jerry O'Connell and her wedding.

Ashley Hartman's debut movie, "Abominable" got praise from fat Harry from AICN
"I'd just watched Ryan Schifrin's ABOMINABLE (about a psychotic Yeti killing people), which was scary, freaky and a damn helluvalot of ****ing fun. I'd been thinking how the Yeti looked sort of like a pretty version of me, and that FANBOYS should have just used Ryan's Sasquatch as me."

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

who's ashley??

 

[pyromaniac]

Supposedly involved with X3 in some way, speculated as the White Queen, or someone else.

All rumours, for now.

There are pics of her in the Hottest X-Females thread that was up a while ago... Goodness, I'd forgotten about that. Plus, the male version.

One of the crew members that's working on The Prestige that Hugh Jackman is currently filming told me this: "Hugh got PUNK'D this weekend for MTV. He was telling us all about today. Sounds good. Look for it this season<<

I am not the MTV generation so I had to look up what it was! Wonder if it will air to coincide with X-3 promotion. There were news reports that Hugh got hit with a pie at the Kid's Choice Awards this weekend which did not happen on air so I thought the press made a mistake. But now I'm wondering if that did happen to air on MTV.

Believe it or not, this is Jim Carrey.

He kinda reminds me of Ashton Kutcher at that angle.

 

[narrows101]

Rebecca Romijn was on Regis & Kelly this morning and before they started to discuss her new show they did mention X-Men. She mentioned it comes out May 26 and most of the conversation was about the makeup and how it took 7 hours to put it on and how much time it took to take it off. Regis asked her how many times she had to do this in this movie and she said "about 15 or 20 times" so I'm guessing that was her filming schedule - 15 or 20 days.

^Not including scenes where she's naked

Q&A REBECCA ROMIJN

This spring Rebecca Romijn plays a news reporter in the WB's Pepper Dennis and a shape shifter in X-Men: The Last Stand

You watched a lot of news for this TV show. Any insights? The smaller the market, the bigger the hair. One local news reporter was doing a broadcast from a moving roller coaster. On the hour every hour, she screamed her report out. Was it news? I don't know.

Your parents were hippies. What did they think of your becoming a model? I left U.C. Santa Cruz to go to Paris. At school, people were partying, wasting time. I learned more the first five days I was in Paris than I did in a year at Santa Cruz.

What can you tell me about the new X-Men movie? I'm covered in blue paint again. And I suffer a heartbreak.

Are you wedding planning with your fiancé, actor Jerry O'Connell? There's no planning going on, but it's definitely gonna be this year, something small and private.

Don't you live in an old brothel? Yes. It's called Wagon Wheel Ranch. Jerry and I took a trip to Napa last year. When we got back, he put in 800 grapevines. Within a couple years, we'll start producing our own Cabernet, Wagon Wheel Wine. Our website will be www.www.com

It sounds as if you domesticated him. Yes, Jerry was quite a bachelor when we met. There was nowhere to put your cocktail down in his place. Just the Ping-Pong table.

her show premieres tonight... what time?

The boys are back in town
By DARREN PARKMAN

Aussie actor Hugh Jackman has spent more time in Vancouver than most big name stars, and he's back in town yet again.

Jackman was spotted chowing down at Gotham Steakhouse on Seymour a few days ago and was also spied strolling on Robson.

After recently wrapping production on the third X-Men movie, word is he's back to discuss his next big movie called Wolverine, which is a spin-off of his X-Men character.

Some cast and crew of X-3 have also been back in town lately for some last minute re-shoots before the movie is released.
