Summer 2000
Freddie Prinze, Jr. tells us who he's in প্রণয় with this summer.
Cosmo: So are আপনি the typical Pisces, আপনি can't make up your mind?
Freddie Prinze, Jr.: No, I'm very laid back. I'm just cooled out. Pretty much everything is cool with me. If somebody says, 'You want to eat Japanese খাবার now?' I'm like, 'Yeah, sure.' And I really want to. Somebody says, 'You want steak?' I'm like, 'Oh, that's cool.' I go with the flow and pretty much remain cool.
C: Do আপনি like food?
FPJ: I প্রণয় food. My পছন্দ thing to do in the world is eat. Absolutely.
C: What foods do আপনি like?
FPJ: Everything. If it doesn't eat me first, I'll eat it. Japanese খাবার is my favorite, and steak. I প্রণয় taking a woman to dinner, and I প্রণয় watching her enjoy her food. And I প্রণয় the way girls look in restaurants — lighting and candles, and the way women hold their silverware and the way they chew their food. It's just a very sexy thing to me, and I've always liked it. I প্রণয় going out. Me and my girlfriend [Sarah Michelle Gellar] go out all the time. I প্রণয় it.
C: Do আপনি get dressed up?
FPJ: No. I'll put on a nice sweater and slacks. অথবা if we go somewhere else I'll wear a T-shirt and jeans. It depends. It's আরো about her than it is me. I'm looking at her probably a lot more. I stare way too much. I can't help it.
C: What's the most romantic thing you've ever done for someone?
FPJ: I like being romantic, but I don't know if there's a most romantic thing. Everything I do with my girl and with my other girlfriends, I try to be romantic. I like romance a lot, I like passion a lot. I like লেখা to them about how I feel about them and how they make me feel. And I want to let them know how special they are. And I'm not always good at verbally communicating that, so I really enjoy লেখা it down and then kind of being that way because it's as honest as I can possibly be.
C: What's the worst thing a girl can do on a তারিখ with you?
FPJ: The worst thing... not enjoy the restaurant. Not like what we got. 'Cause I try to go to places that I know are really good. And if we don't like the same food, then that can be a serious problem. I went on a তারিখ with a girl and I took her to get sushi. She wasn't gonna eat it. That was the last date. 'Cause that's my পছন্দ food.
C: What would a girl have to do to get your attention?
FPJ: They'd just have to be special. There are some women that just shine when আপনি look at 'em and make your eyes kind of well up, and আপনি get so filled with so many different thoughts and emotions আপনি don't know what to do. আপনি don't know if you're gonna cry অথবা you're gonna laugh অথবা vomit.
C: What's the craziest thing আপনি ever did to get a girl's attention?
FPJ: When I was a little kid, we played boys chase girls and girls chase boys, and I was really, really fast, so it was easy for me to catch 'em. The girls were really slow. And all the guys, for some reason — cause they're idiots in the third grade — they ran away as fast as they could to প্রদর্শনী who's the quickest. And I would just like walk. I'd say, 'Where are আপনি going, আপনি idiots?' And I would get, like, 50 kisses, cause all the other guys were on the other side of the field. So it wasn't like the craziest thing, but I thought they were crazy, cause I was like, 'What are আপনি doing? Okay, you're really fast, and I just kissed your girl.'
C: What happens when you're attracted to a friend? Have আপনি ever had a friend, then one দিন আপনি look at her and realize...
FPJ: Absolutely. It's scary, cause আপনি don't want to disrespect her; আপনি don't want her to feel like you're violating a trust that আপনি have. So আপনি either have to stifle those feelings, অথবা আপনি have to be brutally honest and hope she doesn't feel offended দ্বারা it. And it's a really scary thing.
C: Do আপনি think good relationships come out of that?
FPJ: I mean the way things are going right now for me, I think it definitely helps to have a wonderful friendship before.
C: What do আপনি think about settling down?
FPJ: I'm pretty much the domesticated male.
C: Do আপনি want children?
FPJ: Absolutely, of course. I would প্রণয় to have babies. I definitely want to have children before I'm 30. Absolutely. I want to be able to be young and play with my kids and be able to relate to them. I feel if I'm older than that, I would kind of lose something. I want to be alive as long as I can for my kids and for their kids.
C: আপনি have a good heart, আপনি aren't self-destructive. You're just a novelty in this business.
FPJ: No, no, I just know what I want. I know what I like. So I have an easier time than some other people who might have grown up differently. I just have a different outlook. I like to do things for me, for myself. I like being happy, so I'm not going to do things that aren't gonna make me happy. Bottom line. I'm living out my dream. I have the greatest family, and the greatest friends, and the best girlfriend, and the coolest job, and a great house with two dogs. That is the dream. And I am idealistic. I strongly believe that if আপনি follow your হৃদয় আপনি can accomplish what আপনি want, and not to quit on those dreams, because it's hard as hell, of course it is. But when আপনি make it, it's like, so worth it.
