CC and Torque Interviews

Here is the Celebrity Closeups interview and the interview from the Torque premiere!

Celebrity Close-Ups: Can you introduce yourself, please?
Khleo Thomas: My name is Khleo Thomas and I'm fourteen (14) years old.

I normally don't like to ask this quesion, but we have tons of girls asking this. Do you have a girlfriend?
At this time, no I do not have a girlfriend.

Would you ever date a fan?
Yeah, every girl is the same, I don't like to single anybody out.

What do you look for most in a girl?
Personality and how she reacts to certain things and an open relationship.

When did you first know you wanted to be an actor?
When I turned four (4) years old and I saw people on TV and I thought man, I gotta do this. My mom supported me and my Dad supported me and I got into it, and there it is.

When did you first start acting?
I first started acting when I was five (5). I did a commercial, it was for a Disney sweepstakes. They were giving away a Van and people saw me on that and people started liking me and that's when I got an agent and a manager and things started to roll.

How has fame changed you?
It hasn't change me at all. I am still the normal kid you see walking down the street. I still go the mall, I hang out with my friends, I still talk on the phone. If a fan sees me I talk to them for as long as they like, as long as I'm not in a rush. I don't think I will ever become one of those guys that have a big head.

So, what's a typical day for you?
Everyday is a typical day. I go out whenever I can if I'm not doing my chores. I go outside and I call my friends up and say do you wanna see a movie or what? Then I go out.

What time you do get up in the morning?
9:00 o'clock in the morning, every morning.

How do you feel that there are thousands of girls out there that are in love with you?
Sometimes I see how the girls react to me out there, and I start to talk to them and they start (Khleo raises hands and makes a shocked expression) 'AHHHHHHHH'.

Have you had any crazy fan experiences yet?
No, not yet.

When you were shooting "Holes" what was your favorite scene to shoot?
The lizard scene. Probably everybody knows that from me. They were just so cool to be in the hole with because they just run all over your body.

What did you do when you weren't filming?
We were either getting in trouble or play arouund with eachother. We had a mini Playstation on set. We also came up with the "Dig It" song while we were in the school trailer. We had tournaments...baseball, basketball, fighting. Anything like that! It was real fun.

Who were you closet with?
Um, probably Shia. We had alot of fun together. Play around with the lizards. He taught me how to play guitar.

What's the funniest thing that happened on the "Holes" set?
We had a food fight but with squirt guns. What we did was put water in the guns and added Ketchup, Mustard, lettuce...not lettuce, I'm sorry, relish, we smushed the relish 'till it got real thin, and we had a food fight at the base camp and it got really, really wet and nasty.

Do you still keep in contact with the guys from "Holes"?
Yeah, I call almost everyone every other day. I keep in contact with them. Shia was actually in Vancouver with me. I keep in touch with Jacob when I'm in New York, same thing with Max, and everybody. We became a big family.

If you could act with any actor or actress or would it be and why?
Michelle Rodriguez because she's sooooooooooo, soooooooooooo fine!

Do you have any new projects you are working on?
I'm working on a new movie called, "Walking Tall". It's a remake of the 1971 movie. It's starring The Rock and Johhny Knoxville. I play The Rock's nephew. That's a real fun shoot. We're shooting in Canada. It's real fun. I get to ride a motobike in it.

Would you ever consider getting into a music career?
[smiles] Yes, actually. I'm going to start making my own cd. I'm writing my own lyrics. I have a record label that wants to pick me up.

What kind of music can we expect?
Rap and R&B.

What kind of music do you listen to?
Rap, R&B, Rock and Underground.

What are some of your hobbies?
My hobbies are basketball, football, martial arts, collecting Japanese animation, hanging with my friends, uh I am just a normal kid.

What's your favorite movie?
My favorite movie is "The Nightmare Before Christmas".

Which actor/actress were you most excited to meet?
Sigourney Weaver. The first time Sigourney Weaver came on set and she came around the corner, I just screamed because I have the whole "Alien" trilogy in a DVD set and I just screamed her name. I've seen all her movies and she kicks butt.

What would you like to say to all your fans?
I would like to say thank you guys for all the support you've given me. I will continue to do my work. For all the posers out there, I only have one e-mail adress, it's Khleo2003@yahoo.com and I only sign on in one message board which is yahoo.movies.com. I'm not signing into other kinds of message boards and I don't have another e-mail address and that's it, just those two. So, if you find someone else saying they're me, it's not, they're lying.

Thank you Khleo.
Peace.

Khleo Thomas talks about The Rock......

We got a little bit of info from The Rock at the "Rundown" junket about his next film, "Walking Tall," but it took Romantic movies guide Rebecca Murray to get these details from costar Khleo Thomas.She caught him coming down the line at the Torque premiere.

The film, which opens in April, stars The Rock and a two by four, but Thomas spoke up for the supporting characters.Thomas was previously seen in Holes and Friday After Next.

What was working with The Rock like? The Rock is the funniest man Ive ever known. Hes down to earth, I love him.

Whats your role in Walking Tall? I play The Rocks nephew. He comes back to live with me, his sister and his parents. He ends up taking my room so I have a little disrespect for him.

So you go one on one with The Rock? Yeah [laughing]. I hate The Rock in the movie, and Im afraid of him right now just in case he still has it in for me. Me and The Rock became good friends off the set.

Whats the most surprising thing about working with The Rock? I think it is that everyone thinks hes like a real tough guy, that he walks around with his mouth shut fuming. The guy is great. Hell talk to you about anything.

Any pranks or anything going on behind the scenes? Between me and The Rock? No. Actually me and Johnny Knoxville played around a lot on the set. Me and Knoxville fooled around a lot on the set. The last day of shooting we were all joking around. We ruined a lot of takes.

Who got the better end of the jokes? I think he did. He ended up giving me a wet willy right in the middle of a scene. It all just came falling down but it was good. It was fun.

So even though Walking Tall is a drama, it sounds like you had a comedy going on behind the scenes? Yeah, the films an action movie but there was a bunch of comedy going on on the set.

Whats next for you? I have Badassss (now titles How to Get the Mans Foot Outta Your Ass) which is a movie by Mario Van Peeples. He directed it, wrote it, and stars in it. Mario plays his father, and I play him. I play Mario.

Is that kind of weird playing someone who is standing there watching you play them? Yeah, it is because you dont know whether youre doing it right. You dont know how he would react. But Mario told me off-set what he did and how he reacted to certain things. I learned more and more as I talked to him.
