| Kevin turned 17 on September 19, but he's already logged countless hours in front of the camera- first as a child model and as the star of many commercials in his native Canada, and later on the prime-time soap Titans and as the adorable lead in all the Air Bud movies. He started acting for the cameras so long ago - maybe that's why he registers as deeply as he does on-screen. In movies, Kevin's totally in the moment, never secretly wondering, "What do I look like? Are they buying this?" Because he's so indentified by his teen fans with his many popular roles, we picked his brain to find out more about Kevin Zegers the person. We called him up and got this self-described morning person out of bed (barely), then quizzed him on his life, his work and his romantic status. He might have guested on So Weird, but we found out that Kevin is well, so normal! He's also quite talented. And now you know that much more about what he's really like. What kind of kid were you? I wouldn't say a brat, but I always got into stuff - I was always touching things and breaking things on accident. I was one of those kids athat accidentally pulled down all this stuff in the grocery store. I wasn't very calm. I was always wanting to do sports and stuff. One day we were in the bank and there were these blinds that must have been 30, 40 feet high - they ran all the way along the window. My mom was doing her banking and I pulled the whole set of blinds down right to the floor. she still mentions that every now and again whenever I touch stuff that I'm not supposed to. Do you remember your first acting job? I believe it was a commercial for Jeep or Cheerios or something, a commercial in Toronto when I first turned six. I wasn't actually nervous because I don't know if I really knew what was going on at first. My mom was there and I always listen to my mom, so the director would tell her what I should do and she would tell me. It wasn't too confusing at first with commercials - it was always just "Stand there and smile" Once it got into lines and everything, I guess I've always felt that I could talk to directors for some reason, and even at a young age to understand them and know what they were saying. Was acting a big change from modelling? Modelling is similar in some ways, but modelling is just kind of a one-day thing. With acting, you have to develop relationships and get a relationship with the director. You seem very at home in front of the camera. I always have been. Ever since I was young, I've never really been nervous around the camera. If someone wants to run lines in their trailer or whatever, I find that I do 10 times a better job when I'm in front of the camera. I kinda know what I want it to look like and when I see the camera I know that this is going to be seen so I make it look exactly the way I want it to look. Sometimes when I watch the film, I almost know exactly what it is gonna look like. What do you do with your down-time? I golf a lot. I pretty mcuh golf every day in the summer when I'm home. I go to the gym, I can't really sit still that long - I don't know if i have a disease or something (laughs), but I can't just sit still and do nothing for too long of a time, so I'm usually either driving around or washing the car or something. Do you get to keep clothes from your movie and TV shoots? Yeah, I have so many that at times I don't know what to do with it all. \\\\but I, like do stuff to my clothes. Like I did to a pair of Armani jeans from Titans. You should put this in 'cause kids will like this (I don't know if their parents will like it, but): you cut the back pockets out - you don't cut the seams, just inside the seams so the pockets come out - grab a cheese grater and grate so it frays. Then do the same with the button-fly front. You cut out the flap that covers the buttons and do the same thing with that and with the front pockets. It sounds dumb but it looks really good. |
