Godspell's Corbin Bleu on His Obsessions with Naughty Comedies, Smelling Good and Grocery Shopping Hungry
Broadway stars know what’s hot in entertainment, fashion and pop culture, so Broadway.com decided it was high time to tap in to the after-hours obsessions of our favorite stage actors. High School Muscial alum Corbin Bleu, who is currently starring as Jesus in Godspell, shared his love for Michael Jackson, Fuerza Bruta, the world of supercross, Family Guy and more.
TV SHOW: Family Guy
“It's just that ridiculous and random yet oddly smart humor that I can watch over and over and over again. Cartoons are able to get away with so much more naughtiness simply because you're not watching a real person saying these inappropriate things!”
STAGE SHOW (OTHER THAN MY OWN): Fuerza Bruta
“I've seen it three times now! Obsessed! So beautiful, sexy, jolting, and just plain fun! I make sure to bring a backpack with an extra change of clothes so I can get extremely soaked at the end!”
SONG OR SINGER: Michael Jackson
“Always has been and always will be till the end for me! My home is full of memorabilia, my iPod is full of his music, so much of my own artistry is inspired by him, and I had the unbelievable pleasure of meeting him, which changed my life!”
MOVIE:
“This is always a hard one for me. My favorite movie changes all the time, so I'm going to have to give a little list of some of my tops: Beetlejuice, Hook, Inglourious Basterds, Ray, Death Becomes Her, Beauty and the Beast, American Beauty and Fight Club, just to name a few. I tend to lean towards dark comedies or just slightly twisted stories. ”
ATHLETE: James "Bubba" Stewart
“Several years ago I got introduced to the world of professional Supercross racing and have been a fan of the sport and Bubba Stewart ever since!”
FASHION DESIGNER: Dolce and Gabbana
“I'm not sure if it's just my Italian roots, but I love D&G! Their stuff always fits me perfectly.”
RANDOM OBSESSION: Grocery Shopping
“Going to the grocery store. It's a weird one, I know, but I love to cook! I know you're not supposed to go the grocery store hungry but I purposely do because my grumbling stomach tells my brain all sorts of fun, creative dishes to experiment with.”
BEAUTY PRODUCT: CK One Cologne
“Smelling good is a priority, and I love Calvin Klein's CK One.”
BOOK: The Great Gatsby
“Read it for the first time in high school and have been in love with it ever since. One of my favorite gifts ever was an original copy!”
APP: The Seamless App
“Food delivered right to my doorstep at the push of a button? Yes, please!!”
CELEBRITY: Johnny Depp
“Not only do I admire his work, but I love that he is also a relatively private man for someone of his status. He's not one that you see on the cover of every tabloid magazine. And anything that I do see or hear about him is always very positive, that he is a wonderful human being.”
VACATION SPOT: Disney World
“Duh!”
