Star of "Camelot" leak actors, and rejection, and why the title of "Puresex" do not mind:
You have to approach James Purefoy biographical details with caution, or at least avoid the dependency entry in Wikipedia. "I have a friend actor, Jason Isaacs, and added outrageous lie about me if he knew about the son of a press meet," he says when we meet with a pint in a pub near his home in Hammersmith, west London.
I say: not only his friend, but the public loves to hang around his long, before meeting with him until I make sure to ask about their relationship to incest with his mother. Laughs when I say this. "Oh, this is a new one. Very good. Like coming up with these things. Keep his grace."
It assumes that the publisher is not the jokes, because "I really do not spend much because I'm not a celebrity writing celebrity magazine, which is clearly a good thing, but they were not such a joke to its customers on an ongoing basis Pappe, because the press gets the title out of it, and to submit it properly, although I know it was a joke. "
He gives an example of Sienna Miller. When we met, and co-starred with Purefoy in the production of Trevor Nunn history and critically acclaimed of Bengal. "Ask me about Siena by friends who read it and say:" How many times can I tell you? Do not believe what you read in newspapers and celebrity magazines. Really have to do things only. "They said, Siena had an affair with one of the members of the cast was simply through the list of cast and said," I intend to do, "and that it could have been me, could have been anyone, and suddenly the page becomes true many times over, not There is smoke without fire, and so forth. "
Is a measure of social Purefoy is that he does not seem to mind the mockery of his friend, actor and advertising it. He had a good time and anecdotalist, and in a manner unusual for an actor, which makes the self-loathing as well. He says, for example, can determine who the letter that he plays on the torch route since it is a film star
Instantly recognize and identify some of the others completely
As an actor and getting used to receive a little soft pastels of the face, "says:" It has to do with the gap between approval and humiliation. I had a time not long ago in the Olivier Award. I stand in the wings waiting to enter and Michael Paul came to me saying: "Now, for the next award, please welcome the excellent actor illuminates the scene of the route of the torch, and James ..." These signs and put my foot on stage, "each Puref - Porfuy er." "It makes a noise like mimes splodge of being beaten in the face with a pie," What I'm trying to find my way to the podium and clean the custard from my eyes. Known enough to be claim the prize, but not good enough for Michael Ball, known to be able to pronounce my name. "
Could be worse social gatherings. "When I got to know I'm someone who will do what I have seen quick calibration. If you are a man of twenty years of age, with shoes and a shirt, and very difficult that I had seen in Resident Evil, they go" Oh yes! I admit to you, "but if you're middle-aged woman in a twinset and pearls, which asks:". Did you see dancing on the music of time "to see the funny side, or become bitter and sad?"
I think this hatred is born of self-confidence and security. It did not happen that "the rest" as an actor, which is quite an achievement. Films and different roles for the stage just in our television screens playing a lawyer in the drama, injustice, and now appears again in Camelot, a series about the legend of King Arthur. And physically it has many advantages in life, not just tall, dark and handsome but conventional. And half of them - dark - which today is more pronounced, because it is coupled with a brown eyes and dark brown hair, wearing a leather jacket dark brown motorcycle (a motorcycle parked outside a bar on).
Therefore, with notes warning sound, and this is the biography I'm sure it is accurate. James Purefoy was born in Taunton, Somerset, for 47 years. Attended Sherborne School and left at 16, without distinguishing himself academically. Spent some time traveling and doing odd jobs such as working on a pig farm, then returned to college from high school to get the level of A. Was one in the drama, and this led to give him a place in the Central School of Speech and Drama.
After that came a few years with the Royal Shakespeare Company, which he described as his "university." The combination of his career since then worked in television, film and theater. And perhaps in the "profession", who was known two things, as well as representation: one is the one who gets in many cases, several off her - a nickname Purefoy is "Puresex '- and the other is that it is the fencer to achieve, both sense of the word. Girlfriends past include Fay Ripley, Gwyneth Paltrow and Piper Perabo, and is living with the art historian and television producer Jessica Adams and one child 14 years of age, and his relationship with actress Holly Aird.
I wonder what it is like the father. "Joe sometimes says I'm his friend, but I always try to resist this because a friend can not be punished. A friend I can not say not to play the Xbox, you need to limit.
Purefoy child in a boarding school, but was not the same thing. "I had my school throw back to the days of Empire, where it is necessary to sear the children emotionally, to send an empire and see the terrible things that affect them. Was motivated by the very school. One of my problems and was in favor of the athletes Sherborne and you do not, do you have a jacket nice if you played for the first fifteen, but not in the same way Lionis to play Hamlet jacket Aldea. not good. "
Was beaten several times in the school. "If the idea was to change the way you acted then multiplication is not. And stripes beaten and medals of honor, no wonder the confusion between the many types of public schools, former post. Will be fascinated to see if it is in terms of fantasy sex, and fewer children in public schools Previous visit dominatrix now than ever before, when it allowed schools to maintain it. always assume that these idols have their origins in childhood. "
What about gimp masks? Idol last "interesting, and was a nanny who covered the face of the person? For incarceration in a closet under the stairs as punishment, and the realization that one time? Do not know.
What is the psychological explanation of his desire to lead his team in front of cameras all the time? Laughs and says that far from being free, and her nude scenes, Mark Antony in Rome trying to show how he traveled the Roman general and confident. "He does not hesitate to talk to a minimum, while bollock naked. Less than men feel weak and vulnerable, but not Marc Anthony.
Purefoy was the first performance playing an increasing role in Equus. He was 17. Opened the show with him naked in the center of attention, being examined by doctors. He said he does not care, because, "for some reason, the nudity is not a flaw in my house when I was a kid. Sex and nudity is something healthy, and we did not run naked in 70 municipalities and more than just not the problem is not really live in the home of the ethical."
Is there anything that can put you in trouble, nudity wise? "Good for the Roma who shot this scene orgy and extensive. The Cleopatra and Mark Antony, my personality, half-naked and in front of 50 people who are completely naked. Brought porn stars local members of the giant, and after a few hours to let you know that."
Made him blush? "No, not this, the girls were brought to the fans for us as we were in it, which is what happened in the Roman era. And perhaps I should have verified the age they are.
How do you feel after that Mark Anthony, when Richard Burton made the role his country? "They were shoes big, no doubt there was a chemistry stunning on the screen between him and the actress Elizabeth Taylor, and I shed a single tear when he died, and was terrible. His body. Her eyes violet. All. I felt a slight connection with it, because someone told me that at night when Rome refused to leave the country. "
Purfoy is 6 feet 2 inches, making it a giant in terms of performance. This has its disadvantages, as I discovered after the test Purefoy to play Horatio to Mel Gibson's Hamlet. "I Zeffirelli was growing again, because I was very beautiful in those days," he says. "But the producers could not have been because it would be very expensive to dig trenches for me to walk with Mel, who refuses to walk in the boxes because he was a star."
One gets the impression that he is not unusual for an actor, is a very thick skin. "I am the last, and when I started acting, and I used to read all the reviews. Find them as addicted to crack. Not in the pork weekly? News motorcycles? Once received a single review that I was" Fernando rare tasteless "in the storm, and since then I asked myself is interesting in a way unusual for me? after they stopped a critical reading. "
And as long as I was. If you are in the play, which has had rotten tomatoes thrown by critics, comes to the theater on the night of the second and says that the cast: "I read the reviews, but I have not heard it great let. Get on with it." Yes it is much more than the best policy. The same applies to all press coverage. I dated a famous actress once told me that dealing with him not to read any newspaper.
Gwyneth? He nods. Must be a strange, dating someone who was being papper all the time? "Yes, her breasts were despicable, and if you Gwyneth, or Judas, or Siena, talk about going to buy a liter of milk or a pack of cigarettes is incredible. Send to a processor with a hat on the first, the hope in the breasts up."
Despite his talk of cream pies in his face, James Purefoy is still in demand. You have lost Pierce Brosnan as James Bond once - down to the last two - but the next big project is not very different. That soft adventure play Simon Templar in Lucia. I see him in this role, especially when we have more pints, the seed of his cigarette and parted. As I was doing in my car, whistling past on his bike, with a greeting ROMANIAN nonchalent his right hand over his right shoulder.
