    JUSTJARED.COM EXCLUSIVE Dean Geyer gets his hands dirty in this brand new photo shoot, taken exclusively for JustJared.com! The 27-year-old South African-born actor is best known for his role on Glee as Brody, Rachel’s Lea Michele ever elusive NYADA boyfriend who recently got in a major brawl with her ex Finn (Cory Monteith) after he lied to her. JJ sat down with Dean to get the scoop on working with Lea and his future on the show, as well as his love for music and of course, that super hot accent. JustJared.com: Hi Dean! So people seemed to love the recent fight scene between Finn and Brody. How was shooting that with Cory? We heard it was one of your favorite scenes to shoot. Dean Geyer: It was. It was definitely No. 1, I have to say. Since I’ve got a background in martial arts, it was definitely fun. It was fun to kind of get to put that in the mix. Some of the stunt work, we actually didn’t get to do (laughs), which was unfortunate. The whole table smashing scene was done by the stunt guys, but we were allowed to do some of the stunts. Both of us had so much fun. It was really just something different than we’ve seen on Glee. It was a little bit raw. We had a little bit of a tussle and we could really get into character. JJ: So is that the last we’re going to see of Brody? Will he fight for Rachel? DG: I don’t know what the writers have in store. They tend to be very last-minute. We get the scripts a week or two before we film them. I actually haven’t filmed the last few episodes. I feel like it might be over, but you never really know. If they go-ahead with the next season, I mean, he’s still at the college. He has to see Rachel at some point, right? JJ: Right. But do you think there’s any coming back from what he did to her? DG: It was definitely terrible. He tried to justify it in his own mind. Finn and Santana are the ones that called him out and I think he realized how bad it was in that moment. But I mean, I think he knew she was doing the same sort of thing. JJ: You mostly worked alongside Lea. Can you tell us something about her that maybe we don’t know? DG: Something that you may not know is that she gets really shy in front of a lot of people. We were filming in New York and when there’s big groups of people and a lot of fans coming up to her, she is really shy – apart from the Lea that you see on screen and the Lea I see on set, which is this energized, ball of fun. I don’t know if she’s ever said that before, but I feel like that’s something that not a lot of people would know. It’s kind of weird if you think about it, for a performer who’s done theater and TV, and has been surrounded by that. JJ: Brody and Rachel sang Demi Lovato's “Give Your Heart a Break” early on during a karaoke session. What’s your go-to karaoke song? DG: It has to be a big rock song. I feel like something like Bon Jovi‘s “Livin’ on a Prayer” or maybe Bryan Adams‘ “Summer of 69.” Those are fun songs to sing, everybody knows them. The other one, the go-to song I have for my gigs that I enjoy playing, is Justin Timberlake‘s “Cry Me a River,” which I did for my audition. That’s a song I do because it’s really unexpected. JJ: Good choices! We read that you want to get back into writing music. Do you have any plans for that? DG: For sure. I haven’t touched writing in a while. It’s something that got put on the back burner since I started acting in the States. It’s always something that I’m going to be doing though. I have a couple of friends that have now come into my life and are doing music, and pursuing that as a career. I feel like I’m always going to be that person. If you’re a musician, it’s never going to be something that you lose. So for me, songwriting is always going to be a way to express myself, as well as the acting. I don’t think I’m going to pursue it as a career. I used to, four years ago, that’s what I wanted to do. But I think the writing part of things is definitely going to be in my life in the coming years. I feel like I want to write songs and pitch them for other artists. That’s a big goal of mine. JJ: When did you realize you wanted to pursue acting? DG: My first acting project was a show called Neighbors in Australia and I was very tentative going into it because I sorta knew it was going to take me away from music. Just because it’s such a full-time job. But once I got into the swing of things and I got my American manager, and started auditioning, I realized how much I loved it. But at the same time, it’s very similar to music in that you have to put yourself out there and obviously, it’s an art. You have to be very creative. But I also realize it’s not hard to kind of swap back and forth. JJ: Speaking of Australia, you were born in South Africa and grew up in Australia. Do people often mistake your accent for being Australian? DG: It doesn’t really matter because I don’t think a lot of people know what a South African accent sounds like (laughs). I’ll walk into a meeting or photo shoot or something, and people will be like, “Oh, where are you from? England? Australia?” Those are the first two places they’ll land and I’m so used to it now. I don’t really want to be correcting people all the time (laughs). But yeah, a lot of people think I’m from Australia because there are so many of us out here. And obviously, I’m dual – I’m South African and Australian. I’ve been living there for like ten years. JJ: Is it easy for you to switch to the American accent? DG: Yeah, I feel like it’s easier for me to switch to the American than it is for me to switch to the Australian. When I was doing a show in Australia, I had to go to an accent coach. And obviously, being surrounded by an accent while you’re acting really helps. I’ve been coming back and forth for about four years to America, and I’ve lived here for about two and a half years. All my good friends here are American, so I actually haven’t had an American coach. But I feel like growing up with American movies and TV kind of sets you up to make it that much easier. JJ: What do you like to do for fun when you’re not working? DG: I’m a pretty boring person (laughs). I love to be really active. So anything to do with the gym, whether it be weights or hiking or going to the beach. Anything to get me out of the house is fun for me. JJ: And finally, what songs are on rotation for you right now? DG: I’m a big fan of the new music on the radio, just the Top 40 stuff. I don’t really have full albums that I’m listening to. I’ve always been a big fan of electro and house [music]. Swedish House Mafia. It’s songs I can listen to on the radio and I can take it to the gym. It helps me work out as well. Actually, in the last two months, that’s been a huge song. Everybody listens to that song. There’s another song by Calvin Harris and Florence Welch ["Sweet Nothing"]. Those two songs have been at the top of the list for the past three months. justjared.com

    What a Romeo! Douglas Booth gets hearts aflutter as he models in a countryside fashion shoot ahead of playing the Shakespearean role in his new film Rising star Douglas Booth is certain to catapult to heartthrob status as he stars as Romeo in the forthcoming adaptation of Shakespeare’s romantic tragedy. The 21-year-old actor showed off his cherubic good looks as he posed for a countryside photoshoot for GQ magazine. The star, who has featured in Burberry campaigns alongside Emma Watson, modelled in a series of outdoor shoots. He looked dashing in a black and white checked lumberjack shirt, black cargo trousers, a brown trilby hat and tan-coloured walking boots, carrying a khaki satchel filled with wood. He also wears a smart grey wool blazer, beige cargo trousers and wellington boots as he wades through a pond. The actor took part in a Q&A session with GQ about playing Romeo opposite 16-year-old American actress Hailee Steinfield. He reveals that he ‘fell in love’ with the part after not having particularly enjoyed the Shakespeare play at school. He said: ‘When you're forced to watch something in school, you never really enjoy it, you sort of rebel against it in a certain way. Actually coming to this just in my own time, it was actually so easy to fall in love with. You just realize how incredible this writing is and what a beautiful story it is.’ He also said that he identifies with the character himself. He said: ‘Being blinded by young love. I remember the feeling, when I was younger and I first fell in love—you don't see the world the same way that other people see it. You don't see the same boundaries.’ The film’s UK release is reported to have been postponed due to tension between Douglas and Christian Cooke, who takes the role of Romeo’s friend Mercutio, around Douglas’s girlfriend. Douglas is currently dating Christian’s ex, actress Vanessa Kirby, who he met while the pair were filming the BBC’s adaptation of Great Expectations. Romeo and Juliet is set to be released in US cinemas in October while a UK release date is yet to be confirmed. http://www.dailymail.co.uk

    Divergent’s Shailene Woodley and Theo James on Ferris-Wheel Stunts and Hunger GamesComparisons By Julie Miller 7.19.2013 http://www.vanityfair.com Yesterday, Divergent stars Shailene Woodley and Theo James took Comic-Con by storm, premiering footage from their futuristic, adrenaline-fueled film at the San Diego Convention Center. But first, the duo, who play love interests onscreen in the adaptation of Veronica Roth’s best-selling young-adult novel, sat down with your blogger to discuss the dangerous stunts they had just completed on set in Chicago. Before production began, both actors spent a month training for the physical challenges required of the big-screen adaptation, which details the grueling initiation process that Woodley’s character endures as she tries to join the “dauntless” group in a future society that divides people by their personality traits. James—the handsome British actor best known to us as Kemal Pamuk, the ill-fated Turkish diplomat who died suddenly in Lady Mary’s boudoir on Downton Abbey—did many of his own stunts, learning a hybrid style of fighting designed by the movie’s stunt coordinators and even severely injuring one its stuntmen. “I had a fight scene, which happened very quickly,” he said. “It was, like, six guys coming at me doing various things. And unfortunately, one of the guys ended up getting 25 stitches in his face, which was not great, and I felt very guilty about it.” While Woodley did not fend off six attackers on set, she did do enough of her own stunts to injure herself. “I fell off a train and got two hernias,” the Golden Globe–nominated Descendants actress recalled nonchalantly. “And a black eye,” James reminded her. “I tried to do as many stunts as they would let me,” said Woodley. “I got to zip-line, which is pretty fun. I didn’t get to do the whole distance, but I got to do part of it. I got to be, like, 40 feet up over Chicago streets. We got to climb a Ferris wheel, [which] was not as cool as it seems. There was a ladder at about 45 degrees, and we were essentially just climbing the ladder. But it was a full moon, a super moon, so it was cool.“ When asked if the Ferris-wheel stunt was for a romantic, Notebook-type love scene, Woodley and James laughed. “We were 69-ing on the top,” joked James. “That was actually the most intense stunt work in the film,” she laughed. “It was really tricky to figure out.” The pair also told us how they felt about all the Hunger Games comparisons that Divergent is already receiving and what, if anything, audience members should expect when they enter theaters next March. “I don’t think anyone should have expectations,” Woodley said. “People compare us to the Hunger Games and think that’s a compliment. They’ve done an amazing job. Expectations always screw with you, though. Visually it is very different from Hunger Games and other young-adult franchises. Our D.P. and director really created a new world.” “And also, when you see the trailers and stuff, I think that will answer the questions. It is quite unique,” James added, before making Woodley laugh one last time. “Watch—it comes out, and it is actually just like The Hunger Games. Shot for shot.”

    Douglas Booth Sympathises With Costume Designers 7.29.2013 Douglas Booth has described the elaborate and intricate wardrobe demands from the set of Romeo and Juliet. The British actor stars as Romeo toHailee Steinfeld's Juliet in the new adaptation of William Shakespeare's play. Douglas described his costumes and shared just how complicated and intricate his wardrobe was on set. "Yeah, a lot of work went into them," he told GQ. "We had Milena Canonero, who's a three-time Academy Award-winning costume designer, she oversaw the whole look of the piece and Carlo Poggioli, her sort of protégé, designed the actual costumes and it was, yeah, a huge amount of work. I swear, I split my pants a million times down the crotch when I was fencing. The poor costume girls had to spend many an hour, fixing up my crotch." Douglas has landed campaigns modelling for the likes of Burberry as a result of his chiselled good looks. He is known by British audiences for playing Boy George in the TV mini-series Worried About the Boy. Douglas described what it was like to play the recognisable singer of Culture Club. "Yeah, exactly [this was another iconic male to play]. I don't make it easy for myself. I mean, Boy George, he was really the pinnacle of that challenge because I had to transform myself physically," Douglas finished. "That was not only playing somebody that everyone already knows, but also that everyone knows exactly what he looks like and how he acted. Lots of his life is documented. That was an extra challenge." http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk
