Josh Harnett: 'I'm not so hot on the hottie tag'

Having ditched blockbusters for the indie scene, Josh Harnett is on a quest to be taken seriously – and making his West End debut is all part of that strategy, he tells Alice Jones

13.09.2008

By this time next week the critics will have seen, and delivered their verdicts on, Josh Hartnett's West End debut in Rain Man. Not that the 30-year old movie star is too bothered. "The critics always give me a hard time so what do I care?" he says. "In the West End at least there are more critics so there's more chance at a fair trial. There's only one critic that really matters on Broadway and if they don't like you, you're screwed. The chances of The New York Times shining to a Hollywood actor coming in for his first play are slim. I would be hanging myself in New York."

That said, it's not exactly been a smooth ride for Hartnett since he arrived in London a little over a month ago. The production has been dogged by rumours of discord, with a last-minute change of director (Terry Johnson replaced David Grindley) putting opening night back by a whopping 10 days.

And then there's Hartnett's run-in with the British tabloids: he's suing The Daily Mirror for a story, which, playing on his links to some of the world's most beautiful women including Scarlett Johansson and Rihanna, alleged that he had a "sexual dalliance" in the library of the Soho Hotel. "I'm not going to say that I'm a saint, that I've never done anything wrong in my life, but if you're going to find something out about me personally, at least find something that's remotely true", he grumbles.

He's finding it hard to enjoy London thanks to a permanent tail of photographers. Though he's dressed down today in a black long-sleeved T-shirt, grey hoodie and tortoiseshell Ray-Ban wayfarers, there is something unmistakeably Hollywood about Hartnett. As he tucks his 1.9m (6ft 3in) frame behind the tiny table in a chi-chi café on Marylebone High Street, two girls sidle past crab-like, unable to tear their eyes away from him while the waitress lingers just a little too long as she delivers his latte.

He still managed to make an unannounced cameo in a midnight performance of Hamlet at Shakespeare's Globe last weekend with the super-cool company The Factory, who stage their pop-up plays all over London. "It was a goof", he breaks into his first smile. "They ripped out a page of the book and said 'here you're going to do this'. It looks like more fun to be a part of than anything you can imagine on stage."

Back in his day job, Hartnett plays Tom Cruise's part, Charlie Babbitt, in the new stage version of the Eighties film while Adam Godley plays his autistic brother, which was an Oscar-winning turn for Dustin Hoffman.

"I didn't take on the role that would showcase me in the best light," he says. "Nobody's gonna come out of the play and say, 'wow, a tour de force performance by Hartnett'. It's geared towards the Rain Man but the more interesting character in my mind is Charlie because it's the harder sell."

This is Hartnett's first stage outing for 12 years, since he performed The Threepenny Opera at drama school. "But I've never been the star of a play in front of an audience this big. I got lucky when I was really young – I worked my ass off to get there but nobody really saw that. I've been considered just a kid who was handed this career."

Hartnett grew up in Minnesota. His father played guitar with Al Green and his siblings, Joe, Jessica and Jake, all have musical careers. On leaving Catholic school ("I did my Bible learning but I made the decision not to be religious aged 12."), he entered the theatre programme at the State University of New York. Legend has it that he was plucked from there for stardom. In fact, he was "kicked out" after six months. "I knew I had options and I pushed my luck."

With an audition for The Thin Red Line under his belt (he didn't get it), he wrote to the dean of the programme telling him that constant evaluations were strangling the students' creativity. The dean, he says, responded by asking him to leave. Once in Los Angeles, he did 14 auditions and in two weeks had landed two parts, the first in the US version of Cracker. Then he was cast in The Virgin Suicides and The Faculty. His cool, critically-acclaimed turns led to the blockbusting parts in the million-dollar flop Pearl Harbour and Black Hawk Down. "Up until that point, I had the critics on my side. They were really digging what I was doing. Then Pearl Harbour was the mega-publicity event that it was – and nobody likes to be told what to like. I had people who wanted to tear me down after that. It all happened really quickly; I was 21 years old."

So he did the unthinkable. "I quit. Why would I expose myself to that? Everybody screwed me when I wouldn't even be out of college in my real life." He escaped home for nearly two years, wrote a movie with his best friend (Wish You Were Here, which Dreamworks bought but never made), painted and turned down every part he was offered, including a trio of superheroes – Superman, Batman and Spiderman. "I had to change agents after that".

Wasn't he a tad tempted by Superman? "Are you kidding? No. A role like that can define you and it's not a very flattering definition. It doesn't make people think 'wow what an artist'. You have that 'S' imprinted on your chest for the rest of your career." Were his two highest profile films an anomaly then? "Totally".

The chance to star opposite Harrison Ford in Hollywood Homicide broke his hermit-like resolve but his choices since have been resolutely lo-fi and indie. "There hasn't been anything that I've gone into thinking, 'this is going to be crap, I'm just doing it to help my career'. Not one thing. So I can sleep well."

He has been unveiled though as the chiselled face of an Armani aftershave in billboards which feature him being pawed by women as flashbulbs go off. "That was strange", he admits but says the high profile it gave him has allowed him to green-light various independent projects, including the upcoming August, about a dotcom millionaire and I Come with the Rain, with the French-Vietnamese director Anh Hung Tran. Hartnett turned 30 this year and stopped smoking to mark the occasion. "It was terrifying before [the birthday] happened. I remember feeling old when I was 22. But now I'm the same age as my dad was when he had me, I'm old enough to be a father." So he's ready to settle down? "I don't think I can right now, there's a lot of things I want to do."

At home in New York he avoids the limelight by hanging out with musician and artist friends and concedes to one set of famous pals, Kings of Leon – "they were supposed to come to my play last night, then didn't show – bastards". He's "more of a music fan than a movie fan" and listens to Wolf Parade and Bon Iver, music that reminds him of childhood summers at his family's log cabin in Wisconsin. And he reads constantly, fishing excitedly in a manky plastic bag for the books he bought at the Oxfam shop on the way to our interview: The Sheltering Sky, The Fountainhead and a little-known Gabriel Garcia Marquez ("one of my favourites"). He lays them on the table, obligingly turning the spines towards me so I can copy down the titles.

In this one endearing move you sense Hartnett's overwhelming desire to be taken seriously. And there's no reason why he shouldn't be, having made braver and more interesting artistic decisions than most. But, unfortunately for him, it seems it's going to take more than a few indie films and a stint on stage for him to shake off the Hollywood hottie tag. As he lopes out of the café, he leaves a gaggle of star-struck waitresses in his wake. "Was it him? The one from Pearl Harbour?", they twitter in the doorway. "Yes it was, and he's in that Armani advert."

'Rain Man', to 20 December, Apollo Theatre, London (0870 040 0046)

Hartnett On Grown Up Stage Role

20.09.2008
Steve Hargrave, Entertainment correspondent

So what do you think? When a Hollywood star packs up his case and heads our way in search of lights and acclaim on the West End stage, does it make you groan with deja vu, or are you excited about getting to get so close to your idol you can literally feel the stage fright dripping off them?

I only ask because right now we have another plucky young screen star over here to prove his acting chops in front of some of the harshest critics in the world.

Josh Hartnett's career thus far has seen him labelled something of a teen heartthrob, but in recent years he's made an effort to move towards somewhat darker fare.

Now he's 30 is he hoping a move onto the stage will show the world he's now grown up?

We catch up with him at the Apollo theatre, just as he's about to officially open in Rain Man, the new stage adaptation of the Oscar-winning movie.

"It feels great," he smiles, despite fighting a sore throat which has typically come along at exactly the wrong time.

"I haven't done a theatre show in about 12 years, so to have a live audience and to be able to react to them has been a lot of fun. It's kind of like the closest I'll get to being a rock star. I'm 30 now, you can't be a rock star after 30 can you!"

Rain Man was of course a massive success on the big screen, reigning in the best picture Oscar, as well as a nudge from the Academy for Dustin Hoffman's portrayal of the autistic Raymond Babbitt.

Hartnett isn't tackling that role (Raymond is played by British actor Adam Godley), he is instead following in the footsteps of Tom Cruise, playing Raymond's materialistic brother Charlie.

So how is he coping following in the footsteps of the most famous actor in the world?

"I don't want to have his interpretation of the role influence mine, even though he did a great job. Obviously everybody loved what they did in the movie, but obviously for me to try and mimic their performance would just be wrong. The audience wouldn't be as engaged. If I look at the material and take my own approach then it's real."
The argument over whether Hollywood stars should get so much attention when they come over to perform in the West End tends to be raised by the purists.

You won't see many members of the public shaking their heads when offered a chance to see Nicole Kidman, Christian Slater, Gwyneth Paltrow, Val Kilmer or Glenn Close up close and personal.

That's probably why all of their appearances in London over recent years have led to near sell-outs.

In fact a statistic a few years back suggested sales in Theatreland had more than doubled during a particularly star-infested 12 months.

But some, like playwright Sir Alan Ayckbourn, who famously derided American actors performing in the capital, worry that the attention on celebrity detracts from the actual play itself.

He also inferred the quality of the performance from a screen actor would fall well below that of a hardened stage veteran. That seemed a little harsh.

Celebrities can bring a stronger presence which surely enhances certain roles. And on the whole the plays they've appeared in have been generally applauded.

There's also the argument that putting famous faces on a stage may encourage a whole different generation to step foot inside a theatre.

"The idea of coming over and playing here has always interested me," agrees Josh.

"The paparazzi is difficult here as everybody knows (Hartnett's had a recent run-in with one tabloid). It has a lot of history, these old theatres are beautiful. There's a soul to them that I want to be a part of."

So does it encourage all his screaming teenage fans to come and experience something new, and maybe lead them onto a greater appreciation of live performance?

"Yeah, or just going to the theatre. You'd think that all the pyrotechnics and all that stuff that you get in the movies would be more awe inspiring, but sometimes just sitting in a theatre watching a few people do some amazing work and actually feeling the connection on a human level is more amazing, more engaging."

So another Hollywood star faces the critics, although in fairness to Josh, he is playing the part that is bound to attract far less appraisal, simply because he's acting opposite what has already been described as a tour-de-force performance by Godley.

The interesting thing will be to see what Josh's fans make of that performance.

And more importantly whether they will come back to the theatre again, even when their idol has packed his case come Christmas time, and headed back over the Atlantic.

:: Josh is appearing in Rain Man until December 20th.

Молодец!!!!    Спасибо за перевод!!!

Он когда-то говорил, что мог бы поступить так, как Мэтью из "Одержимости", если бы любил... И что ему очень близок персонаж из "40 дней, 40 ночей", правда, я не знаю, чем именно...

из статьи о Джоше :
В прошлом году в Америке, да и во всем мире, с успехом прокатили молодежную комедию «40 дней 40 ночей». “По-моему, воздержание плохо сказывается на хороших людях, - смеется актер. - Я сильно сомневаюсь, что можно самоусовершенствоваться путем воздержания. Чтобы стать лучше, нужно что-то делать или во что-то верить. Думаю, все сосредоточено в мозгу человека, а не в его гениталиях”. На этот проект он согласился, потому, что считал его вызовом своим актерским способностям. “Смешить людей – это очень тяжело, - признается он. - Перед началом съемок мне было страшно: а вдруг я не смогу быть смешным на экране? Именно поэтому я и согласился – мне хотелось испытать себя”. Хартнетт, подойдя к роли достаточно серьезно, вошел в положение своего героя и попытался устроить этакий Великий пост, ограничив себя в сексе. “Конечно, я не продержался 40 дней, - говорит он. - Это было тяжело, но зато я хорошо понял и почувствовал мучения героя. Я держался, сколько мог, а потом сказал: “К черту, это – мазохизм!”.

Пока существуют Миши Бартон - НЕТ!!! Из-под земли парня достанут...

Оригинал (с моими комментариями):

Hollywood heart-throb-turned-campaign-cowboy for Armani's latest men's fragrance, Josh Hartnett sits down for a grilling with Numero's infamous question master.
Numero: Do you wear nothing but a drop of Emporio Armani Diamonds for men to bed at night?
Josh Hartnett: [laughs] No, I can't say that that's what I wear to bed.
What is it then? Boxers or briefs?
Can I settle for boxer briefs?
Isn't the man who wears a fragrance called Diamonds also the man who sports frilly lingerie beneath his suits?
Hum...! Could well be... But I think you've pretty much answered your own rhetorical question.
How would you describe the smell of Emporio Armani Diamonds for men?
I've never been a person that wears Cologne or perfume, so for me, if the smell had been super intense, then I would have had an adverse reaction to it. Mercifully, it isn't overbearing. It's actually quite cool and easy¬going.
On what occasions would you wear such a fragrance?
That's a tricky question, because I never wear perfume. Ever.
Who's the smelliest person you know?
Oh man! That would have to be my younger brother, Jake. He already stunk like a man when he was barely eight years old.
Did you at least get a whiff of the scent before agreeing to endorse it, if only to ensure that you wouldn't be plugging a real stinker?
I did, yeah. I couldn't really tell whether it was a good fragrance or not though, because, again, I never wear perfume.
Point taken. And just how did you meet Mr Armani?
I met him years ago, at an Eric Clapton guitar auction. He started giving me clothes...
...and it was love at first sight
He was already dressing me for events when I was 18 years old.
What's your greatest regret?
Of course I have regrets, but I try not to. I don't know what my greatest regret would be. If I did, I guess it would be pretty personal.
Are you a scientologist?
Yeah, right! Of course not.
Why do you think the French suffer from such an awful reputation overseas?
Everybody has an awful reputation when they go somewhere else, starting with the Ameri¬cans. The French have created a kind of culture of, erm, philosophy and art and all the highbrow stuff, while the average American is pretty blue collar. (вот, что называется судьба: ни за что бы не поняла эту фразу правильно, если бы в четверг не подготовила доклад по этике делового общения на тему «имидж делового человека». В США существует понятие «воротнички - collar» - «blue – голубые» означает низшее звено работников, обычно люди без образования; «white – белые» означает среднее звено, различные управляющие и пр.; и наконец-то «golden – золотые» означает элиту, топ-менеджеров, директоров и т.д.)
Who would you rather be stranded on a desert island with? Oprah Winfrey, Donatella Versace or Hillary Clinton?
Man!   (???)
It's like you're going to spend the rest of your life there!
Ugh! Ugh! Man, you know what? Can I just pick someone else?
And who might that be?
Woof... I would have to go with Ana Ivanovic.
Who on earth is she?
She's a tennis player.
Have you ever had anything nipped and tucked to look so picture-perfect?
No.
Where did you buy that buffed body that's on prominent display in the television commercial for the fragrance?
I ordered it up online! (а ссылка где??? где, я спрашиваю?!!)
Are you quite high maintenance?
I don't know.
That's a question for my sister. Do you ever throw movie star tantrums, trash your hotel suites and order your goons not to look you in the eye?
Every chance I get.
When you wake up in the morning and catch sight of yourself in the bathroom mirror, what do you see staring back at you?
Did you ever see the movie Anchorman, with Will Ferrell? There's a scene where he's standing in front of the mirror and he goes: "I look good!", "I look really goood, everybody come see how goood I look!" See, sarcasm doesn't play in France. No, obviously I don't think that, I just see myself.
When was the last time you cried?
On camera, or off?
Off.
I guess it would have been earlier this year. A friend of mine died.
How do you fend off the screaming groupies?
I try and hide from them, in the first place. And if ever they spot me, I divert their
attention towards other people; if I'm hanging out, say, with Woody Harrelson or Owen
Wilson, I'll just divert their attention to them.
What's the most embarrassing track you have on your iPod?
Oh man! I've got some good ones. I don't know, like one of my... I don't know, I think
they're all pretty good.
Does money bring happiness?
Absolutely not. But I think that when you're hurting for money, then you're going to have
a much tougher time being happy.
Does money buy you friends?
No, but it can sure buy you people to hang out with.
Do you feel comfortable giving interviews?
Not really.
Would you be closeted if you were gay?
Well, I suppose that in Hollywood I would have to be, right?
As a closeted gay movie star, which Hollywood hunk would you most want to bed?
Wow! [Hartnett's publicist kicks in: "Let's not go there!"]
What about that Texan matinee idol, who's always on the beach with his shirt off?
I can't answer that one, apparently.

Теперь перевод. Уже без комментариев. В общем, Джош (Д.) дает интервью Нумеро (Н.), который известен своей постыдностью:

Н.: Когда ты ложишься спать, ты носишь что-либо кроме капли Emporio Armani Diamonds for men?
Д.: (смеется) Нет, я не могу сказать, что это - то что я одеваю в постель.

Н.: Тогда что? Боксерсы или плавки?
Д.: А можно выбрать боксерские плавки?

Н.: А не является ли мужчина, который пользуется ароматом с названием «Diamonds», также мужчиной, который носит кружевное женское белье под одеждой?
Д.: Хм… Все может быть… Но я думаю что вы сами ответили на свой риторический вопрос.

Н.: Как бы ты описал запах Emporio Armani Diamonds for men?
Д.: Я не из тех людей, которые пользуются одеколонами или духами, как по мне: если бы аромат был очень насыщенный, то у меня была бы отрицательная реакция. К счастью, он не  перенасыщен. Фактически он довольно свежий и спокойный.

Н.: Для какого случая ты бы взял этот аромат?
Д.: Это провокационный вопрос, потому что я не использую духи. Никогда.

Н.: Кто из твоих знакомых пахнет хуже всех?
Д.: Оо!.. Это скорее всего мой младший брат Джейк. Он уже вонял по-мужски начиная с восьми лет.

Н.: Ты хотя бы принюхался к запаху перед тем, как подписал соглашение, чтобы убедиться, что не будешь рекламировать действительно «вонь»?
Д.: Да, я так и сделал. Я не мог бы действительно говорить о том, является ли этот аромат хорошим или нет хоть потому, что, опять же, я никогда не использую духи.

Н.: Ответ принят. А как ты познакомился с Армани?
Д.: Я познакомился с ним давно, на гитарном аукционе Эрика Клэптона. Он начал предоставлять мне одежду.

Н.:  …и это была любовь с первого взгляда.
Д.: Он уже одевал меня на все мероприятия еще когда мне было 18.

Н.: О чем больше всего жалеешь?
Д.: Ну конечно, у меня есть сожаления, но я стараюсь не расстраиваться. Я не знаю какое из моих сожалений самое большое. А если и знаю, то это очень личное.

Н.: Ты – сайентолог?
Д.: Ага, точно! Конечно, нет.

Н.: На твой взгляд: почему французы страдают от такой ужасной репутации заграницей?
Д.: У всех складывается ужасное впечатление, когда они едут куда-нибудь, начиная с американцев. Французы создали своеобразную культуру, валютные отношения, философию и искусство, а также прочих заумных вещей, в которых среднестатистический американец будет чувствовать себя довольно глупо.

Н.: С кем бы тебе хотелось очутиться на безлюдном острове? С Опрой Уинфри, Донателлой Версаче или Хиллари Клинтон?
Д.: С мужчиной!

Н.: Ты должен провести там остаток своей жизни!
Д.: Кх-кх… А можно выбрать кого-нибудь другого?

Н.: И кто бы это мог быть?
Д.: Ууф… Я бы поехал с Ana Ivanovic.

Н.: А кто это?
Д.: Это теннисистка.

Н.: Тебе когда-нибудь приходилось что-либо «поправлять» для того, чтобы выглядеть как с глянцевой обложки?
Д.: Нет.

Н.: Где купил такое «отполированное» тело, которое было показано в ТВ-рекламе аромата?
Д.: Я заказал его в Интернете!

Н.: И ты достаточно хорош в эксплуатации?
Д.: Я не знаю.

Н.: Вопрос от моей сестры. У тебя когда-нибудь бывают звездные заскоки, громишь ли ты номер отеля и приказываешь своим охранникам не попадаться тебе на глаза?
Д.: Использую для этого любой шанс.

Н.: Когда ты просыпаешься утром и рассматриваешь себя в зеркале ванной, что ты видишь?
Д.: Ты когда-нибудь видел фильм «Anchorman» с Will Ferrell? Там сцена, где он стоит напротив зеркала и говорит: «Я хорош!», «Я чертооовски хорош! Все идите и посмотрите, насколько я хорош!». Видите, во Франции не понимают сарказм. Нет, очевидно, я не думаю, что вижу себя.

Н.: Когда в последний раз ты плакал?
Д.: На камеру или в жизни?

Н.: В жизни.
Д.: Я думаю, что это было немного ранее в этом году. У меня друг умер.

Н.: Как ты справляешься со своими восторженными поклонниками?
Д.: По началу я стараюсь и прячусь от них. А если они приводят меня в затруднительное положение, то я переключаю их внимание на других людей; если я выбираюсь, скажем, с Woody Harrelson или Owen Wilson, то я переключу внимание на них.

Н.: Какой самый впечатляющий трек у тебя в iPod-е?
Д.: Ой… У меня есть несколько очень хороших… Я не знаю, может, один из моих… Я не знаю,  думаю, что они все очень хороши.

Н.: Деньги приносят счастье?
Д.: Нет, абсолютно. Но я считаю, что если человек с трудом добивается денег, тогда он получит гораздо больше счастья от них.

Н.: Можно ли купить друзей?
Д.: Нет, но конечно можно купить людей для веселого времяпрепровождения.

Н.: Тебе комфортно давать интервью?
Д.: Не очень.

Н.: Был бы ты так же замкнут, если бы был геем?
Д.: Ну, предполагаю, что в Голливуде мне пришлось бы, правильно?

Н.: Как тайный гей, с каким бы красавчиком из Голливуда ты бы отправился в постель?
Д.: Вау! (вмешивается публицист Хартнетта: «Давайте не будем это обсуждать!»)

Н.: А как на счет этого техасского идола дневного спектакля, который постоянно на пляже без футболки?
Д.: Я, вероятно, затрудняюсь ответить.

Привет!

Я целый месяц решалась! 

Вот только поменьше бы про голубых...  Заметили, что неоконченная мысль в интервью? Как будто Джош не выдержал и сказал: Все, было приятно пообщаться, но дела, дела...

И с очень хорошим чувством юмора. Во многих интервью он шутит. Просто ПРЕЛЕСТНО!!! А чего стОят его танцы и пение? 

интересно, интересно)))!!!! появился новый обьект для обсуждения))))

Везет же некоторым....
Хотя она действитель очень симпотичная, надо побольше о ней узнать!
