Summer 2000
Freddie Prinze, Jr. tells us who he's in Любовь with this summer.
Cosmo: So are Ты the typical Pisces, Ты can't make up your mind?
Freddie Prinze, Jr.: No, I'm very laid back. I'm just cooled out. Pretty much everything is cool with me. If somebody says, 'You want to eat Japanese Еда now?' I'm like, 'Yeah, sure.' And I really want to. Somebody says, 'You want steak?' I'm like, 'Oh, that's cool.' I go with the flow and pretty much remain cool.
C: Do Ты like food?
FPJ: I Любовь food. My Избранное thing to do in the world is eat. Absolutely.
C: What foods do Ты like?
FPJ: Everything. If it doesn't eat me first, I'll eat it. Japanese Еда is my favorite, and steak. I Любовь taking a woman to dinner, and I Любовь watching her enjoy her food. And I Любовь the way girls look in restaurants — lighting and candles, and the way women hold their silverware and the way they chew their food. It's just a very sexy thing to me, and I've always liked it. I Любовь going out. Me and my girlfriend [Sarah Michelle Gellar] go out all the time. I Любовь it.
C: Do Ты get dressed up?
FPJ: No. I'll put on a nice sweater and slacks. или if we go somewhere else I'll wear a T-shirt and jeans. It depends. It's еще about her than it is me. I'm looking at her probably a lot more. I stare way too much. I can't help it.
C: What's the most romantic thing you've ever done for someone?
FPJ: I like being romantic, but I don't know if there's a most romantic thing. Everything I do with my girl and with my other girlfriends, I try to be romantic. I like romance a lot, I like passion a lot. I like Письмо to them about how I feel about them and how they make me feel. And I want to let them know how special they are. And I'm not always good at verbally communicating that, so I really enjoy Письмо it down and then kind of being that way because it's as honest as I can possibly be.
C: What's the worst thing a girl can do on a дата with you?
FPJ: The worst thing... not enjoy the restaurant. Not like what we got. 'Cause I try to go to places that I know are really good. And if we don't like the same food, then that can be a serious problem. I went on a дата with a girl and I took her to get sushi. She wasn't gonna eat it. That was the last date. 'Cause that's my Избранное food.
C: What would a girl have to do to get your attention?
FPJ: They'd just have to be special. There are some women that just shine when Ты look at 'em and make your eyes kind of well up, and Ты get so filled with so many different thoughts and emotions Ты don't know what to do. Ты don't know if you're gonna cry или you're gonna laugh или vomit.
C: What's the craziest thing Ты ever did to get a girl's attention?
FPJ: When I was a little kid, we played boys chase girls and girls chase boys, and I was really, really fast, so it was easy for me to catch 'em. The girls were really slow. And all the guys, for some reason — cause they're idiots in the third grade — they ran away as fast as they could to Показать who's the quickest. And I would just like walk. I'd say, 'Where are Ты going, Ты idiots?' And I would get, like, 50 kisses, cause all the other guys were on the other side of the field. So it wasn't like the craziest thing, but I thought they were crazy, cause I was like, 'What are Ты doing? Okay, you're really fast, and I just kissed your girl.'
C: What happens when you're attracted to a friend? Have Ты ever had a friend, then one день Ты look at her and realize...
FPJ: Absolutely. It's scary, cause Ты don't want to disrespect her; Ты don't want her to feel like you're violating a trust that Ты have. So Ты either have to stifle those feelings, или Ты have to be brutally honest and hope she doesn't feel offended by it. And it's a really scary thing.
C: Do Ты think good relationships come out of that?
FPJ: I mean the way things are going right now for me, I think it definitely helps to have a wonderful friendship before.
C: What do Ты think about settling down?
FPJ: I'm pretty much the domesticated male.
C: Do Ты want children?
FPJ: Absolutely, of course. I would Любовь to have babies. I definitely want to have children before I'm 30. Absolutely. I want to be able to be young and play with my kids and be able to relate to them. I feel if I'm older than that, I would kind of lose something. I want to be alive as long as I can for my kids and for their kids.
C: Ты have a good heart, Ты aren't self-destructive. You're just a novelty in this business.
FPJ: No, no, I just know what I want. I know what I like. So I have an easier time than some other people who might have grown up differently. I just have a different outlook. I like to do things for me, for myself. I like being happy, so I'm not going to do things that aren't gonna make me happy. Bottom line. I'm living out my dream. I have the greatest family, and the greatest friends, and the best girlfriend, and the coolest job, and a great house with two dogs. That is the dream. And I am idealistic. I strongly believe that if Ты follow your сердце Ты can accomplish what Ты want, and not to quit on those dreams, because it's hard as hell, of course it is. But when Ты make it, it's like, so worth it.
