Cam Gigandet, "The Roommate"

I'm Oliver here at the Young Hollywood Studio with this handsome young man, Cam Gigande. How are you?

I'm good. How are you?

You, that was great. Gigande. What a great name as well.

Thanks.

Lucky there, aren't you?

Actually, I, I made it up on my own.

Did you?

No.

You're new to fatherhood. Congratulations.

I am, thank you. Not that new. She is I always get this wrong. I think she's like almost 21 months.

Right.

shouldn't get that wrong. I know, I shouldn't. But, you know, at the month, when you're at the month stage, I don't know how long that goes on, but you know, once I get

It's a year and nine months. Really? I just worked that out. 9 plus 12. Yeah. Clever. I can go to college.

I didn't even, which is surprising, but I just knew that.

See, you don't need to go to college. Sometimes you're just born with mathematical genius. You're born with it. I'm kind of like uh Albert Einstein, you know, he just got, you got it.

I'm pretty sure he must have gone to college though.

Yeah, he probably did. The room mate, you filmed. Exactly. Yeah. Single white female story. Yes. Modernish retellingish. Teenish, youngish.

Teenish, youngish.

You got to work with two very ugly females in the film.

I did. I did. Minka Kelly and Layton Meister. I did. Which is uh must have been tough every day.

It was, but you know, it's part of the job. It's what they pay me for. So, if they say, hey, you got to fall in love with Minka Kelly, that's what I do. Do what I'm told. I can't imagine having to act that out. It's tough. I would fight them every way possible.

That is why they pay me the big bucks.

That's why you're who you are. That's why you're Cam Gigande.

Exactly.

We've got award season coming up. Am I nominated? Yeah, twice. Three. Best name.

Oh, yeah, fingers crossed.

And and best scene with an ugly chick.

Oh, thank God.

For the roommate. You know. I hope you win both. Well deserved. Minka and uh Layton look very similar in the movie, didn't they? Obviously, that's the whole point of it. They look similar in real life as well. They do, don't they? Um, we're going to see what you know about them, okay? Little quiz, quick and easy.

Uh oh.

She has naturally blonde hair.

Layton.

She is a daughter of former Aerosmith guitarist Rick Du Fe.

Layton.

Nope. Minka. That's what I know. She speaks fluent French.

Layton.

She was raised in New Mexico.

Minka. Wait, Minka Kelly's father is in Aerosmith or something?

Former guitarist. Minka Kelly's father is Aerosmith. That's now out in the headlines. We've just released it.

I thought you said I thought you said bassist.

Oh, I thought you would have got it right. Yeah. You know what? Sometimes you can be wrong. You can be, honestly. That's debatable. Okay.
