Last October, we talked with Anthony Daniels, the performer of the role of the famous Golden Robot translator C3PO. The interview turned out to be excellent, but how is the dark side? Is the "gaming" sold to the Jedi?!
Set aside a panic! Overcoming fear and not paying attention to the shaking flaws, we went to meet with the most dangerous boss hunter in the Universe – Boba Fett. And even managed to leave her alive and (relatively) unharmed. Moreover, hidden under the helmet of the cinema Jeremy Ballock turned out to be an extremely pleasant interlocutor.
Welcome to the dark side
– Mr. Bullock, let's start with the mandatory issue in the program. How you liked it "Awakening of power" ?
Jeremy Bullock: I watched the film together with my wife-there was no one else in the hall-and sat down in a chair with the thought: “Come on, try to entertain me …” But after five minutes I thought: damn it, it should be great! The film is literally saturated with youth, energy, dynamism, and young actors are so alive! In general, yes, I really liked it.
– I heard that you are answering all the letters of fans. Is it really true? There should be an incredible amount of them!
Jeremy Bullock: I used to really try to answer each. At first it took an hour, then a couple of hours a day, but at some point I realized that if I continue in the same spirit, then I would simply live for me! Nevertheless, I try to devote time to this: I sign photographs, just thank you someone. By the way, that it’s funny, just before a trip here I was sent two paper letters from Russia written by a beautiful handwriting. Very nice.
– You are in Russia for the first time?
Jeremy Bullock: Absolutely true. My wife and I love to travel, since now there is enough time for it. We traveled around America, they were in Japan … but in Russia I had not had to be before.
-We managed to try something from Russian cuisine?
Jeremy https://sister-site.org/dream-vegas/ Bullock: Your traditional red soup was eaten several times, as it is called there … Borch? Borsch? Tasty, unusual and very nutritious. And before leaving, you must definitely try Russian vodka – for the sake of interest.
– Rumor has it that your room resembles a small museum named after Bobe Fett ..
Jeremy Bullock: Oh, everything is not so bad, although I really collect different interesting things related to my character. I find something on trips, sometimes fans send me original drawings. Some believe that I am slightly crazy – created a museum named after myself (laughs). My favorite exhibit stands at the top of the stairs and looks at everyone who rises – you just won’t pass by him. If he still moved his head slightly, then some guests would be provided with a heart attack.
– Is there a place for Bobe Fett in the new trilogy, and you would like to return to this role?
Jeremy Bullock: If only in Camo. I directly see this: Cantin somewhere on a small planet, Bob Fett sits in the far corner-just a figure, nothing more. The camera stops, Bob lifts the helmet, takes a sip of a glass, puts on a helmet and leaves. As if in some "handful of dollars"
– By the way, about westerns. It is true that you were guided by actor Clint Eastwood when playing Fetta?
Jeremy Bullock: Yeah, I wanted my character to look impressive, but in many scenes he stands next to Dart Vader. It is laconic, but you literally feel the danger emanating from him. It seems to me, the secret of success is in a long gaze and small turns of the head. Look at the window behind you, and then slowly turn back.
– Fine. I look at the window, slowly turn ..
Jeremy Bullock: (looks motionless through me for ten seconds)
– Hm?..
Jeremy Bullock: (slightly tilts his head and continues to look past)
– Yes, perhaps I caught the essence. But with all the seriousness of the image on the set, there probably was a place for humor. You can recall some curious case?
Jeremy Bullock: The first thing that comes to mind is how I got confused in the Darth Vader cloak. We shot the scene in the room of frost, and I accidentally tripped over Vader's costume. And now I lie on the floor and think: "So I came to the end of Bobe Fettu …"
-Have you played any games based on Star Wars? They are everywhere, even on tablets – a strategy "Star Wars: Invasion" , For example.
Jeremy Bullock: Still, from those times when, in order to call, I had to throw two pennies into the machine and said: "Hello, Hello". But sometimes I observe how my grandchildren play, and in my head flashes: “Damn, but he has a helmet and a rifle exactly like mine!"(Speech, apparently Ostar Wars Battlefront).
– But, except for Star Wars, you have a big filmography, you successfully played the theater and even voiced cartoons.
Jeremy Bullock: I have been acting in films from the age of twelve, at seventeen I played in a pair of musicals – you know, dance a little, sing a little. I wanted to stay in Spain to play in Western, but it was still too early for this genre – the boom began five years later, after the release of the films Sergio Leone. He played the Shakespearean repertoire on stage, managed to light up in Bondian as an assistant to Mr. Q. Roger Moore subsequently told me: “Bullock, the Bond character came out of you much more interesting than the Hunter”
– Then I will ask a really difficult question. Still theater or cinema?
Jeremy Bullock: Definitely theater. When fifty minutes after the start of the performance, having played the first act, you go on stage and see the reaction of a living public, you cannot help but think: “It will be a good evening!»All the energy of the audience pours into you – you literally seet up from her.
– Do your grandchildren use the fact that their grandfather is Bob Fett? And does not one of them want to follow in your footsteps and become an actor?
Jeremy Bullock: No, no, they behave very modestly and almost do not talk about it. It’s funny to watch how their friends are surprised when they come to visit us. As for an acting career, sometimes they play in school performances, and one of the granddaughters dreams of becoming a ballerina and being on the stage of a large. Although, as for me, she is too showing with her: “Oh, see how I pull my leg!"(Laughs)
– Thank you very much for the interview, Mr. Ballock!
Jeremy Bullock: Thank you! (leans closer and lowers the voice) and go to the dark side.
