Jason Priestley Interview
Published March 12, 2004
JEJ
Yes, sometimes I have been recognized by 2 or 4 people.
JP
At one time?
JEJ
No, in a year's time.
You got into directing episodes of Beverly Hills 90210. Did you have to kiss Aaron Spellings' ass to get that gig?
JP
This kissing ass seems to be a theme on your show, but yes, yes, I did.
JEJ
Thanks for being so honest.
JP
I had to make a case for it. He gave me one episode to direct and they were thinking oh he'll do this one and he will shut up, but I did two the next year and then I started directing about 5 a year.
JEJ
I think that the lesson learned is that if you are going to kiss ass in Hollywood ... make it Aaron Spelling's ass.
JP
Yes, kiss Aaron Spelling's ass, no question.
JEJ
You directed the Bare Naked Ladies documentary. How did that come to be?
JP
I have always been a big fan and I always end up on the road with them and I thought with all the hysterical things that go on in the tour bus, someone should make a movie out of this. So, I thought, well why don't I do it.
JEJ
Love & Death On Long Island ... Is that kind of role an actors dream? I loved the film, but it was a bit on the creepy side.
JP
But John Hurt did a great job of making it all palatable. It is the story of a man stalking another man, but he made it so nice.
JEJ
That is because he is the Elephant Man and the Elephant Man makes
everything nice!
JEJ
You are in the movie Die Mommie Die with Charles Busch. What was it like, for you, kissing Charles Busch?
JP
It was great! I've kissed a lot of women on screen.
JEJ
Yes, but Charles is a bit older.
JP
It was the first time in my career I have actually received a beard burn but Charles was very gentle and very kind because he knew it was my first time.
JEJ
That movie is based somewhat on your package, your large endowment?
JP
Yes.
JEJ
I read that in reference to your own endowment that that it is possible that the rumors could be based on the fact that all the girls that you have been with have had small hands.
JP
Yes, I thought that was funny.
JEJ
Don't you think that men with small penises tend to be very angry and pissed off?
JP
Right.
JEJ
Me say, men with small penis make big war.
JP
You are right, look at Napoleon!
JEJ
Look at George Bush
JP
And look at George W.! The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
JEJ
If we could genetically shrink the hands of all people so that all men would think they had big schlongs ... don't you think THAT would stop all the wars in the world?
JP
I think you are on to something JJ.
JEJ
I thank you for being on with me JP.

I think Jason is so cool. Loved his answers.
BTW, dude looks old fat and beaten about he face and head on the show. What's the deal?
What show are you talking about?
I think the guy's kind of weird, but sort of cool.
He's got this weird badass streak in him that comes across as calculated but at the same time he's funny enough to make it come off.
Also, his anxiety attacks and mental breakdowns have added to his intrigue. I've heard stories of him telling television crews to go fuck themselves etc. Personally, I like teen idols best when there being really crass.
I didn't know that Jason was like that. I always heard that he was great to the crew. Where did you hear that he tells them to fuck themselves?
I love jason I'm brazilian I'M FROM GOIÂNIA AND I LOVE UNITEDE STATES BUT I DONīT KNOW THE COUNTRY EU AMO JASON BEIJOS IT'S A WONDERFUL ACTOR KISSES FOR YOU JASON

Olsen, I think he had some near-fatal car accident or something that made him look a bit off for a while. He's had some weird health complications.
Jack E. Jett is a shock jock.
That is all.
Yea he did have a bad accident. He actually stopped breathing. But, than the paramedics got his heart beating again.
IN MY OPINION JASON IS A GREAT ACTOR AND I REALLY LOVED HIM IN BEVERLY HILLS 90210. COULD YOU ASK HIM AT NEXT TIME WHEN I WILL SEE HIM AT RIO DE JANEIRO? MY DREAM IS MEET JASON BECAUSE I DONīT MISS ANY PROGRAM THAT HE DO.
THANKS FOR THIS OPORTUNITY.

I love Jason forever ... it is a life that I tell! and I don't change mind. Jason Priestley thank you for existing!!!
Jason's an awesome guy and blessed with an incredible package. I'm jealous that JEJ got to talk about it! His role in Die Mommie Die! was brilliant and he was wonderful in Love and Death on Long Island. He's a class act all the way around.
Jason Priestly ROCKS! He is absolutely gourgeous!!!!!!
Hi!!
I'm a fan of Jason Priestley, and of course 90210!!
The intrview was great, I wish it was me who intrviewed him, that would be the greatest day in my life!!
All the Love and Care to Jason Priestley!!
Please help me: I admin a Jason Priestley Lovers Forum, please support Jason and (of course me) and register, THANKS!!
JP is HOT!!!
JP is CANADIAN!!!
Loved him in Love and Death on Long Island!
I'd heard that he was hung, but I WANT DETAILS!
Just how big is it?
He is more than just an actor for me. I like him when he played Brendon Walsh in "Beverly Hills 90210". I would like to say that Jason Priesly is the best person i've ever seen. More than that "Beverly Hills 90210" gave so much more that i'm very thankful to all who was playing in this serial and especially to Jason Priestly who makes me feel self-confident and clever person.
I love Jason Priestly so much. He is the best ever!
thanks for the kind words on the jason priestly interview.

Yeah, y'know, I don't think I ever wanna find myself discussing another man's package with him.
