GARRETT NEW CHARISMA

It’s on everyone’s lips. Debut movie, out with Kirsten Dunst and image of the new perfume by Yves Saint Laurent. Can you ask for more?

Charismatic, handsome and charming are just some of the adjectives that can be said of Garrett Hedlund, an actor who this month comes to the big screen giving life to Dean Moriarty in a new version of the famous novel On The Road, written by Jack Kerouac, the adventures and misadventures of a group of friends who decide to take a road trip. A man of few words, Hedlund says he never will hear about the women in his life .. and lets out a half smile.

On The Road personalize a cultural and social stage of the United States. How was interpreted as coming from a different generation:

I think we have idealized the 40s and 50s, the so-called Beat Generation, which was replaced in memory by the generation of the seventies. Kerouac describes very accurately all the characters, a time … focusing on culture. From music to the kind of typewriter. The protagonists are similar because they maintain the same style comunicanción, addition, On The Road is the first novel that features a road trip, the different stages of it, synchronicity, the rhythm.

Did you know the story?

Yes, I read the novel in my teens and when I heard that Francis Ford Coppola had purchased the rights to dirigilarla at first I was glad. No one better than the director of The Godfather and Apocalyse Now to bring to the screen. Imagine my surprise when Walter Salles called me to play this character! The book tells the story of an aspiring writer and, for some reason, I caught her wish now I keep reading books and I’m obsessed with the idea of ​​writing a novel. I’m studying different styles of literature and journalism, from F. Scott Fitzgerald to JD Salinger and, of course, Kerouac.

What do you hope to achieve as an actor?

I can not predict the future. I only know that I want to continue starring in movies wake up my interest and lead me to dive into characters who believe.

How do you spend your free time?

I enjoy staying home and relax on the couch. I love to read and return to my farm in Minnesota.

What is the best to grow in a place so different from Hollywood?

Patience. Living on a farm in the middle of nowhere, unable to go anywhere, always having to work .. If estñabamos at home during the day, scolded us because there was always something to do on the farm: if you were done with the fence, had to feed the cows, if not, clean the hay .. and so every day.

But at what point did you decide you wanted to be an actor?

Growing up in a place like Minnesota, television and movies were our only escape. I’ve always dreamed of being an actor and live in the city.

Has been an easy road?

No, because I fought every character I’ve gotten to play. I’ve never accepted a movie because yes, I always go looking for the opposite end of the last I made. It’s the best of this great profession.

Seeing how was your life before, how you carry your current fame, media pressure?

I do not know. Exposure to people makes me nervous, but what matters is how you face it. for me things are not black and white, and I’m not a person who can speak two thousand characters in a newspaper article.

What character are you most proud?

No doubt Dean Moriarty in On The Road, has been a dream for me I will always remember with love.

When Garrett Hedlund was cast as Dean Moriarty in “On The Road” back in 2006, he had no idea that he’d have to wait four more years for the film to go into production.

In the meantime, he managed to work on other films including “Georgia Rule,” “Country Strong” and “Tron: Legacy.” But if there was a hint of a conflict, Hedlund, much to his agents’ chagrin, pledged his loyalty to the indie film that Brazilian director Walter Salles adapted from Jack Kerouac’s Beat Generation bible.

“It was a fact that for two or three years, I was saying no to everything that came across the table, and (my agents) were, like, ‘All right, you go off and do that film. I hope Mr. Salles is happy — (soon people will be asking) where have you been for the last three years?’ ” recalls Hedlund, 28. “Agents and managers despise passion projects sometimes.”

Upcoming screen star and former Prada model Garrett Hedlund is the new face of YSL’s men’s fragrance.

Do you mind being called the new Brad Pitt ?
No, not at all. I feel honoured. I worked with him when I was just 18 on my first movie Troy . I remember watching A River Runs Through It with my mother as a child and she pointed at him and said to me “that’s you!” So it was very surreal to play with him and he has continued to be a great example of how to deal with everything the industry throws at you. I have respect for how he handles life under pressure.

You also worked with the Irish actress Fionnula Flanagan?
Yes that was in John Singleton ’s thriller Four Brothers in 2005. She was wonderful. She gave me a sweetheart glass [a crystal trinket box] for the time we worked together. She was like a mother to me.

Describe your background?
I grew up on a small farm in Minnesota and my whole town, Winnesaka, was totally Swedish. Our farm was in the middle of nowhere and the furthest we travelled was a few hours away, so you grew up wanting to see the rest of the world and the usual way, the classic way to get out, was through sport. I did it through acting.

PARIS — Tailored clothing can transform a man: Just ask Garrett Hedlund, who donned a custom-made suit to front Yves Saint Laurent’s La Nuit de L’Homme fragrance.

“It’s like a whole other role, something I haven’t explored [before]. I don’t even think I wore a suit in any film I’ve done before,” the “Troy” and “Tron: Legacy” actor says. “From the moment I put it on, I was just like: Here is the beginning of something wonderful and new.”

Yves Saint Laurent Beauté, which is part of L’Oréal, approached him last fall about the project.

“What I think intrigued me was when they said the concept of the story,” explains the 29-year-old, sitting in a spacious suite at the hotel Le Meurice here. “It seemed much more like a role than standing there in a suit. With the ad, in terms of how they wanted to present it, was to be very kind of ‘Eyes Wide Shut.’ This sort of dark, mysterious man arrives at this event and it’s very ambiguous; you don’t know what his intentions are. And I thought it was very interesting.”
