Jason Patric is one actor who doesn’t speak a lot to the press, and for that matter you never hear about him in the press. And as you know he is starring with my future husband, Kiefer Sutherland in That Championship Season on Broadway so he’s finally opening up a bit. He spoke with Vulture about his life, past and present and what it all means, and of course he refers to Ashley Judd as a lazy and arrogant actress. I know she likes to use very large words that make me all fidgity and stuff, but you know, there always two sides to every story and I wonder what her side would be, right?
This is your first Broadway show since you did Cat on a Hot Tin Roof with Ashley Judd and Ned Beatty.
I said I wasn’t coming back to Broadway unless I had more input and creative control. Look, you get to do Tennessee Williams on Broadway every twenty years of your life. And I loved playing the role and I loved the majority of my cast, but I had issues with the producers, I had issues with the director. I loved saying the words and working with most of the people every night. I didn’t like my leading lady. Ashley is just a lazy and arrogant actress. Let’s just leave it at that.
Okie dokie. He even takes a jab at Lady GaGa:
You were talking earlier about the evils of reality TV and bad pop culture.
This Lady Gaga is absolutely preposterous. This is, what? You take a shit in a Cuisinart and put some pasties and get Auto-Tuned and look who I am. Well nothing, you’ve been marketed, that’s all. If I was a musician maybe I’d get angry about it, but it’s just like, what? Again, just turn the page.
It’s a very interesting interview and the rest of it can be found here.
Despite rumours (and I bought into them myself) he did not steal Kiefer Sutherland’s fiancee (Julia Roberts) back in the day. They get along great now just as they did back 24 years ago when they starred in The Lost Boys together.
I think he’s made up a bit for lost time in terms of being candid. What did you think of the interview?
