INTERVIEWS & ARTICLES
Boy Next Door by Liz Beardsworth TV Hits, UK, April 1999
We know JESSE SPENCER would be the cutest boy on anyone's street - but just how good a neighbour is he in real life? Let's see...
So Jesse, what time do you turn your music down at night? Erm... I don't even play loud music. Actually, I don't even have a CD player at home! I do in my car - I've got this really old car, a 1967, with a CD player in it! (chuckles) I only listen to music when I'm driving, and then it's mainly Australian bands - there's a band called the Whitlams, who're really good, Regurgitator who are pretty good... but they're not really known over here so it's not very interesting, is it?! I listen to a lot of different stuff - classical music, jazz, rock and ballads... I've got heaps of different stuff!
If you were having a party and the neighbours asked you to turn the music down, what would do you? Well, if it was before 12 o'clock then no, because that's just... (pulls disgusted face). But if it was after 12 o'clock then that's when they can start complaining. But even if it was afte 12 o'clock, then I'd probably ignore them anyway (laughs)!
Has this ever happened to you? Erm.. yeah! Once we had the police round! Yeah, listen to this - I was actually playing video games. Actually it was with Kim [sic] (Valentine, who plays Libby. In fact, at this point, Kim - who's hanging out with Jesse today! - comes over and says into the video recorder, "He's soooo annoying!"). Anyway (pretending to be in a strop), as I was saying, Kim was over and I had about five people in my house. We were playing video games - and we were told to turn it down. I mean, how loud can a video game be?!
What would you do if you saw a suspicious-looking man lurking in your neighbour's garden? Erm... ooh, I'd follow him - I like things like that! (getting excited) Yeah, I'd get his number plate. Actually, once there was this guy out the front - I came home at one in the morning and there was this guy sitting in from of my house in a car with dark windows and stuff. I waited for about 20 minutes and he was still sitting there, so I took his numberplate. But nothing came of it. (laughs) That's a pretty bad end to the story, isn't it?!
If you fancied your neighbour's girlfriend and he was away on a busines trip, would you try and seduce her? Hmm. (laughs) I guess it would depend on her. (giggling and blushing now) Really, I don't know! No comment!
If a fab prezzie was delivered to your house instead of your neighbours, would you keep it? No, no, no. You can't do that! I'd definitely take it around.
You've a hot date, but then your neighbour cuts herself and has to go to hospital. She has two little kids who need looking after. Do you help? Ooooohh.... Ah - see what you do there is, like, you look after the kids, but then you bring the girl over and cook this dinner... Yeah, you have a romantic dinner for two, while the kids are in bed. (laughs) Hey, you've got a house to yourself! You can put the kids in the wardrobe or something! Only joking.
Your neighbour is deadly dull, but he's invited you round to his birthday BBQ. Do you go to be polite, or make your excuses? Erm... I'd probably go, but I'd invited about ten other people and turn it into a huge party! Well, it wouldn't be that huge with ten people, I s'pose... no, OK, I'd invite 50. I'd ask him if he minded me inviting some other people round. It'd be a bit rude though, wouldn't it - 'And there's 50 of my friends...' Not that I have 50 friends!
Your v.[ery] grumpy neighbour's apple tree is obstructing your view. Do you chop branches off it without asking? Yeah. Actually, we have this problem back home at the moment - apart from the grumpy bit. We've got this gum tree which is actually in the neighbour's yard, but it hangs over our place, and it drops leaves in our pool - so we're trying to poison it at the moment! Dad's trying to kill it! (TV HITS looks shocked) But you see, those trees never stop growing and they're huge! And it's always dropping leaves in the pool. We've been cutting branches off it for ages.
A really gorgeous girl turns up on your doorstep for a blind date with your neighbour. Do you pretend to be him, or tell her she has the wrong house? Ooohh, it would depend. Like, how did she get the address? (thinks) But then, I wouldn't know anything about that, would I, so maybe... Nah, I'd be too afraid of getting caught, to be honest, so I'd pass her on - but then I'd say, 'If it doesn't work out, come back and see me!"
So Jesse, do yu reckon you're a good or bad neighbour? Well, I think I'm a good neighbour because I'm pretty quiet. I don't have huge parties - (laughs) apart from when I play video games, of course!
