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.

‘On the Road’ with Garrett Hedlund

Garrett Hedlund is going to be a star. The last time I felt this way about an actor in a less than stellar spotlight was after catching Heath Ledger in the double feature of 10 Things I Hate About You and A Knight’s Tale. They’re a pair of largely forgettable movies that pop up on cable from time to time, but each film deserves a second look (and tends to steal minutes away from a casual viewing experience) thanks to Ledger and that rugged voice of his. It took Brokeback Mountain to prove me right and of course, his now legendarily memorable turn as the Joker in The Dark Knight (with the posthumous Academy Award just to make sure we never forget him). There’s not a day that goes by when I’m sitting in a screening or watching something on television and I wonder what this “particular” movie would have been like if Ledger had been around.

But there’s hope out there because Hedlund has now slipped into that space Ledger left behind. In Country Strong, he was a quiet marvel, singing and strumming his way through this twang-fest with confidence only the best are born with. Far from a wannabe, Hedlund was already a star; we just didn’t know it yet. He was largely left waiting again in Tron: Legacy because that film was all about the spectacle and well, the legacy of the original film rather than figuring out how to capitalize on a star who, in some intriguing ways, has a good bit in common with Jeff Bridges, the actor who plays his character’s father.

All of this discussion, though, has taken me away from his latest appearance in On the Road, in part because the film, for all of its prestigious pedigree, is another missed opportunity.
