SOAP OPERA DIGEST
Stupid Questions — By Jennifer Lenhartwww.soapoperadigest.com/features/as-the-world-turns/interviews/stupidquestions/Take Three: ATWT's Jake Silbermann (Noah, l.), Alexandra Chando (Maddie) and Van Hansis (Luke).
— STEVEN BERGMAN
Digest's new column, Buzz Barometer, is meant to be a cheeky gauge of the zeitgeist according to soap stars, but we couldn't include all of the answers we got. You probably noticed Van Hansis (Luke) was featured in the AS THE WORLD TURNS entry (along with Martha Byrne, Lily, and Michael Park, Jack, in the 9/18 issue), but here's what happened at a recent set visit when an oblivious Hansis walked in just after we'd awkwardly revealed to Alexandra Chando (Maddie) and Jake Silbermann (Noah) that he would be getting a different set of questions from the Roundups they had just graciously finished answering.
Van Hansis (arriving): Are you doing the questions?
Soap Opera Digest: What questions?
Hansis: The stupid questions [laughs]?
Alexandra Chando: The Roundups, yeah. We're done.
Hansis: Can you ask me them? [The ATWT publicist chuckles, delighted.]
Digest: I have separate stupid questions for you.
Hansis: Okay!
Chando (grumbling): Apparently you're special, I don't know.
Jake Silbermann: Special. I want to be asked Van's questions.
Digest: Okay, I'll ask all of you.
Chando: Why are you singling him out? What's wrong with us?
Hansis (instantly): Because I'm cool.
Digest: I'll ask all of you.
Hansis: But I get to answer first!
Digest: Okay, favorite cocktail?
Hansis: Manhattan.
Digest: Alex?
Publicist: She's planning her 21st birthday party; she's not going to answer that question!
Chando: Yes. I've never even tasted a beer! Shirley Temple.
Digest: Jake? [He pauses briefly, unsure of what to say.]
Hansis: See, this is why you don't get the cool questions — because both of you can't answer them!
Silbermann: You really order Manhattans?
Hansis: I love Manhattans!
Chando: Yeah, he does. It's weird. I can answer — I'll be 21 in two days.
Silbermann: Vodka and soda for me.
Chando: Rum and ginger ale.
Hansis: That's not a cocktail. That wasn't the question.
Silbermann: Why isn't vodka soda a cocktail?
Hansis: Because a cocktail is a ...
Silbermann: I thought if you mixed the drink it was a cocktail.
Hansis(arguing): No, that's a mixed drink.
Chando (laughing): But we love each other!
Hansis (still arguing): A cocktail is something that has a name.
Chando: "Sex on the Beach." Heh-heh. "Harvey Wallbanger."
Hansis: Like Sex on the Beach [laughs].
Digest: Okay, song you can't get out of your head?
Hansis: The Cars' [singing] "I guess you're just what I needed. I needed someone to ... something...."
Silbermann: "Just What I Needed."
Chando: "Smooth Operator" by Sade.
Silbermann: She's been singing that all week. Mine is Tegan and Sara: "Back In Your Head."
Digest: Interesting. Cutest celebrity offspring?
Chando: Ohh! Who did I just see that was beautiful?
Silbermann: This is Alex's category.
Digest: I've finally stumped Van!
Hansis: I like that Zahara girl.
Chando: I can tell you who doesn't have the cutest offspring. But I won't. I think Cindy Crawford's son is gorgeous. He's, like, 8.
Digest: Jake?
Silbermann: No [laughs].
Digest: Most number of takes you've ever needed to do a scene.
Chando: Oh, I remember a day when I almost started crying.
Hansis (clarifying): Because we messed up or somebody else did?
Digest: I guess you.
Hansis: One. [Everyone laughs.]
Chando: I have my answer. This is so rude to say, but Zach [Roerig, ex-Casey] and I were in a scene and it was the first time I forgot my lines [laughs]. No, they kept changing the line and it got so frustrating; I just couldn't say it. It took me eight or nine takes.
Hansis: Honestly, like, five or six.
Silbermann: There was one take in Branson with me and Van that felt like 30, but it was probably only, like ... it was awful.
Chando: Although, let me point out that he goes around calling himself "One-take Jake."
Silbermann: That's right.
Digest: Well, it rhymes. You should be able to say that.
Silbermann: Might as well.
Digest: Okay, super early Super Bowl predictions.
Hansis: The Steelers! [But it comes out "stillers" because of the goofy voice he uses.]
Silbermann: The Steelers?
Chando: Um, the New Jersey Nets? [Everyone laughs.] The Lakers!
Silbermann: I think the Patriots are going to do it.
Chando: I would like the Cowboys to do it, because they're my favorite team.
Digest: Hottest soap alumnus?
Chando: Josh Duhamel [ex-Leo, ALL MY CHILDREN]. He's pretty hot. And Vanessa Marcil [ex-Brenda, GENERAL HOSPITAL]. She's gorgeous and she's so talented. [Hansis and Silbermann are still stumped, so Digest and the publicist start naming a slew of stars.]
Hansis (on his own): Spencer Grammer [ex-Lucy]! Hey, she's already on another show.
Digest: Jake? [He's still stumped.]
Chando: Brad Pitt [ex-Randy, DALLAS] was on a soap. John Stamos [ex-Blackie, GH].
Silbermann (resigned): Brad Pitt, then. [Everyone laughs.]
Digest: Hottest Jessica?
Chando: Alba.
Silbermann: Definitely.
Chando: Without a doubt. She's so beautiful.
Hansis: Rabbit!
Silbermann: Good one.
Digest: I can't bring myself to delete blank from my TiVo.
Chando: AS THE WORLD TURNS [laughs].
Hansis: I don't have a TiVo.
Silbermann: Nor I. But if I did have a TiVo, it would be filled with MAN VS. WILD.
Hansis: If I did have a TiVo, what could I not bring myself to delete? ROME.
Silbermann: I love that show.
Digest: Yesterday at midnight I was....
Chando: Sleeping.
Hansis: Crying [laughs].
Chando: Lying in a fetal position on my bed, listening to sad music.
Hansis: I was, um....
Chando: I was in bed.
Silbermann: Talking with my roommate about his relationship.
Digest: Lucky you!
Hansis: I was trying to sleep, but it wasn't working.
Digest: That's it. But I've got more. I've come with nothing but stupid questions.
Chando: That's great, because I've got nothing but time!
