Exclusive Video Interview: We Go Head to Head With The Man of Steel Himself Brandon Routh!
Author: Robert Sanchez
Yesterday morning I received a phone call asking me if I wanted to cover the arrivals as well as attend the INSTYLE/Warner Bros. Golden Globes after party. I wasn't too sure if I really wanted to go and try to interview some celebrities, after all we do this all the time and from experience it's very difficult to get any decent interviews at these parties, especially when the one thing on everyone's mind is to get drunk as fast as possible.
It's a gamble and most of the time you don't get squat. I spent a few minutes going down the list of names of invited guests and one name stood out, Brandon Routh. Number one rule in Hollywood , only 50 to 75 percent of the names on tip sheets ever make it to these events and even if they do there is no guarantee that you will get to talk to them but I still decided to go. Sure George Clooney was walking the red carpet, Charlize Theron was also there but I couldn't care less. I promised myself one thing. If I get to talk to Brandon , I will pack up my handy dandy Sony HVR Z1U and call it a night. And would you know, we spoke to Brandon and picked his brain for about five minutes. I played nice, I wasn't too aggressive and didn't try to have him spill the beans (maybe next time). For those of you who have been following Brandon's career you already know that Superman is his first major role. Before Singer found him he was working at the Lucky Strike bowling alley on the corner of Hollywood and Highland . How was it for him to transition from being a regular joe to landing the biggest superhero role in recent history? He briefly mentions how he got cast for the role due to his audition tape with McG. We had to ask a few questions regarding the film itself. Brandon explained how Superman leaves without saying a word to Lois Lane and that causes some bitterness on her part. He also confirms that there is only one villain, Lex Luthor. We also touch up on the possibility of seeing the long awaited Superman vs. Batman and his overall experience on the set of Superman Returns. Oh by the way, those rumors of him being gay, not true, well at least not by the looks of it. You see the young lady on his arm? That is Courtney. They met while working at Lucky Strike and they are currently dating. Click on links below for the complete video interview with Brandon Routh.
