The Calgary Herald has hands down the BEST Cameron Bright interview that we have seen to date. We first metCameron at the Vancouver Official Twilight Tour and, and we were immediately struck by how funny, down-to-earth, and how much he can entertain a live audience (some people just can’t bring it to a live crowd, but Cameron can!). Check out the interview from the Calgary Herald:
“Cameron Bright is 17, which means he’s currently floating above the abyss, but the Victoria native who made significant waves with his bathtub scene opposite Nicole Kidman in Birth, and donned amber contacts as vampire aristocracy in New Moon, is decidedly grounded.
“I’m at home on Vancouver Island, doing what any other 17-year-old kid would be doing: hanging out with friends, watching TV, going out. . . . I’m no different than anyone else my age.”
Bright says the only thing that really sets him apart from his peers is his job, and the fact he doesn’t attend a bricks-and-mortar high school.
“I guess I could look at my life and think I don’t have to go to high school. Technically, I could drop out. But I don’t see school as a backup plan. . . . It’s not like I like high school or anything. I’m normal that way. It’s just that I don’t want to be a high-school dropout.”
I’m glad Cameron is going to school and doesn’t want to be a high school dropout. Education is important no matter what job you do. Even Brooke Shields went to college.
The Calgary Herald did a great interview, but they were wrong about him “donning amber contacts” as his role for Alec…they are red of course LOL .
OK- I’m done being nit picky HEHE great article LEX : )
Haha! That’s the first thing I noticed as well.
I thought the same thing. Other publications get little things like that wrong all the time and it just goes to show they don’t really watch or read whatever the featured star is in. They just want the interview b/c that star is currently a money-maker.
I like love this page! There so many things!
I would like that you visit our blog, please! we’re only begining, but it’s in two languages! (english and spanish)
I really like this interview. Cameron is really funny. When you watch or read any interviews with him, you are always garanteed a laugh. I <3 Cameron Bright/ Alec.
I met Cameron for the second time at the convention in Vancouver last weekend.
He is always fun to talk to. Very mature for his age.
The article for another thing wrong: he’s actually from Nanaimo, not Victoria
Very well written article though. Really does describe Cameron well
They forgot that he was that creepy kid in The Butterfly Effect.
