SMASH HITS Magazine - November 1999
INTERVIEW WITH SCOTT
What's Up Scott? Not even writing their second album could stop pop's fittest fella from filling in SMASH on the latest goss. We turned the stereo down for five minutes to take a call from our best buddy - Scott from Five.
What do you think of Victoria and Mel G (from the Spice Girls) being pop star parents?
I'm really impressed with Posh cos I saw the pram she bought for Brooklyn and I thought it was going to be over the top but it wasn't. It's just a normal pram. Mel G though, she bought her baby the Ferrari of prams. Anyway, good on you, Posh, for keeping it real!
You're perceived as the vainest member of Five. Do you feel good about the way you look?
Not really. I try and make the best of what I have. I try to have my hair looking perfect, and if I'm looking pasty, I'll go on a sunbed.
What's the maddest thing a fan has done to get near you?
A lot of girls who've got the same surname as me, try and say we're related. I've also got a couple of stalkers, but I'd rather they came over to me.
What do you think of when you're lying wide-awake at night?
We get schedules that tell us we're going to finish at 4 o'clock, and you know you're not gonna finish till nine or ten. But if I moan, I'm told, "Well, you know you're not working a nine-to-five job."
Which band member do you turn to when you're upset?
Abs. I can honestly say Abs is one of the nicest people I've ever met, if not THE nicest. I can turn to him at any time and I think he's a lot like me in many ways. I don't know what I'd do without him... (Aww..)
What are you scared of?
Donkeys. I had a donkey ride when I was six and I fell off, but my foot was still in the stirrup so I got dragged along the beach! I had to go to hospital and get stones picked out of my back!
Would you ever embark on a solo career?
Everyone thinks someone's about to, but we're not. If I WAS to go solo, my music would be ballady love songs!
What's your best holiday memory?
It was when I went to Tenerife. I was only six and I fancied the rep [guide]. I found a rose on the floor, and I went up to her and I said, "I think you're really nice." She thought I was cute and she gave me a kiss on the cheek!
Which famous chicks would you like to pash? [kiss]
I like Catherine Zeta Jones. I saw her new film the other day and I thought she looked quite attractive. I can't think of anyone in pop who's good-looking. The Steps girls? No! URGH!
What about in real life?
My girlfriend, Kerry. We've been together for a year and a half. I wouldn't kiss anyone else.
Who would you write a love letter to?
No one apart from my girl. If I wasn't going out with her, I'd write a love letter to get her back
