After wowing us as the hot Cyclops in the X-Men films and making us want to get up and shake our booties as Corny Collins in the fun musical Hairspray, handsome James Marsden conquers fantasyland as a Disney-style perfect prince in the new musical romantic comedy Enchanted.
We got to chat with Jimmy (as his friends call him) at the posh and famous Beverly Hilton Hotel recently. The actor was anything but "posh" dressed casually in cute gray and black stripe sweater, jeans and growing a beard. After his musical performances in Hairspray and now Enchanted, we wanted to know if singing is a permanent fixture in his career future and what it was like running around New York in tights and a poofy-sleeved prince outfit while talking to an animated chipmunk that wasn't really there...yet. Wacky? Just wait...
TeenHollywood: Hey, two wacky, perfect looking guy characters in a row...
James: Have I found my calling? I got caught having too much fun with it. They've discovered who I really am. I had my own costume. That's why I got cast.
TeenHollywood: Poofy-sleeved prince costume, yeah, right. Okay.. this prince character is kind of self-absorbed and just out there. Was it easy for you to be that non-judgmental about the character?
