Fun to you is…
Hanging out with close friends, dancing to great music, exploring a new city and shopping!
If you were invisible for a day, you would…
... cause absolute havoc! I would spy on all my fellow actors and get to know their secrets, I would change the numbers of the lottery so that I could win it and I would stick to Steven Spielberg like glue!
An invention you’re waiting for…
I want to be able to set a time and country on my watch and magically be transported there!
Would you like to be young forever?
After seeing The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, perhaps not. I’d love to look good forever but I want to grow old with people I love.
