Disney Star Brittany Curran!
For me, Hollywood might be a few years away. But, for 17-year-old Brittany Curran, her Hollywood time starts NOW! You know her as Chelsea, London Tipton’s ditzy friend in The Suite Life of Zack and Cody; and as Carly, Drake Parker’s girlfriend in Drake & Josh. Soon, you’ll know her as Shelby, Lucas Grabeel’s BFF/GF in The Adventures of Food Boy; and Tiffany, a prep-school Queen of Mean in the threequel to Legally Blonde called Legally Blondes set to be released in 2009! On a break from auditions and shooting her new movies, Brittany stopped by the BSG headquarters for some photo opps with moi! Maeve Kaplan-Taylor: Hey Brittany! I know that to be an actress, you need a ton of support. Who believes in you the most? Brittany Curran: Ultimately, I believe in myself the most, and I am extremely self-motivated. Besides myself, my dad believes in me more than anyone else on the planet! He’s like a ball of support, honesty, and love. He completely believes in me and cares enough to tell me the truth if my work is great, but also tells me if something is bad. MKT: On The Suite Life, you play kind of a ditz, but what are YOU like in real life? BC: Unlike Chelsea, I love to read and write poetry. In real life, I love classic films and music from the 1960s and 1970s. I enjoy running, watching The Office with my family, and I LOVE being with people of any age! MKT: When you’re not working, what do you like to do with your friends? BC: We like to do normal things that most girls like to do. I like to catch a flick and go out to dinner with my girlfriends. My friend Justine and I just saw Atonement, and we like to go out for lunch together. My other good friend, Christa Allen (from 13 Going On 30), and I have gone camping, do sleepovers, and like going to the Universal Studio Theme Park! My friend Amy Teegarten (from Friday Night Lights) and I just went to a party to watch the premiere of the Disney Channel Original Movie Minuteman. I LOVE MY FRIENDS!MKT: I’m SO excited about your movie, Legally Blondes because I luv Elle Woods. Tell us a behind-the-scenes secret! BC: When you’re watching Legally Blondes, remember this: During one of the scenes, my character is getting out of a Hummer limo in front of her house. You see me emerge from the limo; what you don’t see is the unplanned chaos in the limo! Right before the limo door was supposed to open, I fell backwards spread-eagle on the floor. I couldn’t get up! MKT: What can you tell us about The Adventures of Food Boy and other upcoming projects? BC: The Adventures of Food Boy is about a boy, Ezra, (played by Lucas Grabeel from High School Musical), who discovers that he can make all kinds of food appear in his hands. I play Shelby, his best friend and love interest. In one of the scenes, we have a HUGE food fight! It was insane! I just went to the premiere of my film Diamond Dog Caper at the Santa Barbara Film Festival. It should be hitting theaters sometime around the end of 2008, possibly in the summer. It is a hilarious film! Luke Benward (from Minutemen), French Stewart (from 3rd Rock From the Sun) star in it and are hysterical. Coming out in 2009 is Legally Blondes. I play the role of Tiffany, the lead antagonist, who “rules” a prep school. One of the most exciting things for me was when I found out Reese Witherspoon approved my audition tape! I love Reese and based my entire sixth grade wardrobe on whether I thought Elle Woods would have worn it. This role is a dream come true for me! I have chills running up my spine right now thinking about it. This is why you should go for your dreams and don’t let anyone stop you! MKT: That is FAB advice, Brittany. Consider me your biggest fan! ********** Read the full, UNEDITED chat I had with our fabulous pal Brittany!
