Transcript of the interview "Wub meets..............Jason Donovan"

[Wub Wub]

(Please note: We were both pissed out of our faces)

 

Wub) Okay, my name's Matt

Jason) Matt?

W) Where have you come fromt? Obviously, I know London…but is that Heathrow or Gatwick?

J) Urr…neither of the above, unfortunately I didn't fly from Australia for this one, I was in Notting Hill.

W) Nearly as cosmopolitan. Anyway…I suppose most of us know you as…

J) Jason Donovan?

W) Exactly!

J) What more can you say? (laughs)

W) You're like a student icon, you're like up there with Chesney Hawkes in the stratosphere. How's it changed since when you back on Neighbours as a fresh faced young thing?

J) Um…y'know it's changed a lot, it's um got a little more mature, it's like a piece of cheese, and red wine, it's that sort of combination with a bit of grape.It tastes good sometimes in the mouth, but not too early in the morning.

W) That was the most random answer to a question I've ever had.

J) We're on our feet tonight, we're on our feet. We're thinking on our feet.

W) What sort of direction has your music taken, because we know you as sort of 1991/92 pop-throb…

J) Pop-throb? Never been called that before!

W) Well, it's a new word I just made up.

J) Yeah yeah, good word though. Pop throb. I like to be thought of as a pop throb, and my direction is throbbing even greater than it was when I was a popular throbber. So no, seriously mate I've done a few little pieces here and there. I've spent a lot of time thinking about myself. I've got two children. The music side of my stuff hasn't been as forthcoming as one would like. However, you don't know what's around the corner. My acting has taken a much greater part of my life.

W) Anything we would have seen you in over here?

J) Nothing over here, but I've been doing quite a bit of Australian stuff. A bit of TV, a bit of film.

W) What about musically wise, what can we expect from you in the next half hour.

J) Cheese. Absolute total cheese.

W) I like that honesty.

J) Well, they're students, you've gotta go up there and just give them three chords and the truth.

W)That sounds almost like an album name.

J) It is.

W) What's the next 18 months hold for Jason Donovan. You've been around for, if you'll excuse the expression, donkey's years. I remember when I was sick from school about age 8/9 and watching you on Neighbours.

J) [censored]! [censored]!

W) I'm only 20, it's not that bad.

J) No it's okay, well look, what does the future hold, is that what you're saying? Um, hopefully, it holds good things, I've got a lot of…um…television stuff going on, I'm growing vegetables, I'm living off the land a little bit, and my back catalogue can bring me to places like Bournemouth, I can think of no better place to be, at the Firestation, in Bournemouth, on this very auspicious night, Friday 13th.

W) You're bullshitting.

J) I'm not bullshitting!

W) C'mon, you gotta be bullshitting!

J) I'm not, it's Friday the 13th, what do you expect.

W) It's not actually, it's only Thursday the 12th at the moment.

J) Isn't it? Well, it's [censored] close isn't it?

W) Alright, 15mins I'll give you that.

J) Alright, good good good. I'm ahead of my time!

[tantrumqueen]

he's like a piece of cheese and grows vegetables, move over chesney, jason is my new hero

[Saffy]

Saffy snorts ..... By heck, bet Kylie wishes she'd held onto him .. hehehehehe

[DoObY]

Sheer quality mate!

 

Wish I'd been there to chip in with random comments and questions, and buy you both a drink!

 

You've made me and the guys at work laugh

 

note to self: Buy Wub a beer next time you see him

 

 

[SharonW]

Oh no, he could have given us a detailed account of his time in rehab, how his life took shape after he stopped the coke (urm presuming he did) and how fatherhood has changed him.

 

Living off the land with his veggies, pah !

[Wub Wub]

I've got the whole thing on minidisc, if anyone wants a copy.....

[Pepsi]

Thats well funny

[Darkraver]

that really cracked me up mate

[Wub Wub]

Hearing Jason Donovan use the word '[censored]', and hearing me accuse him of bullshitting is something that is even funnier when you listen to it.

 

I'll put it on tape.

[Wub Wub]

I like to be thought of as a pop throb, and my direction is throbbing even greater than it was when I was a popular throbber.

 

Possibly the funniest thing I've ever heard someone say EVER.
