Taming of The Two

What more could GF's Percival ask for than spending the afternoon with two of Hollywood's hottest stars, Heath Ledger and Andrew Keegan?

When Perth-born Heath Ledger decided to visit his home country to promote "10 things I Hate About You", an adaptation of Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew", fellow star Andres Keegan wanted to come too! Now living in LA, 20-year-old Heath has become Hollywood's hot new talent. You may remember his sweet smile from Aussie TV shows such as "Roar", "Sweat", "Ship to Shore", and "Bush Patrol". But local no longer, Heath has hit the big time in Hollywood. He begins shooting Mel Gibson's new blockbuster "The Patriot" in August.

At age 20, Andrew is no newie to Tinseltown. He was Claudia's cruch in "Party of Five", Brandy's date in "Moesha" and in real life he has been linked to LeAnn Rimes, but he prefers being single-yay! With all the hype, we grabbed the guys for a goss!

GF: So how did you guys meet?

Heath: I was no good at basketball and Andrew taught me how to play. There was a school bully who used to pick on all of us. They used to throw food at us...oranges...

Andrew: The oranges hurt! He (Heath) was little, and remember when you got me back in high school? I think I was off working and I came back and by then he was bigger, so he watched my back.

Heath: Then we didn't see each other for ages and then we did a movie, "10 Things I Hate About You".

GF: Mmmm, that sounds interesting (we don't believe you). What did you think when you first saw each other on "10 Things"?

Andrew: We told them at the begining...

Heath: that we wouldn't work without each other because pals are pals (lets out a wicked laugh - lucky he's got such a gorgeous smile).

Andrew: That's why the movie's so good, the chemistry comes across too.

Heath: No, we're teasing...

Andrew: We've only known each other since the movie.

Heath: We hung out heaps in LA. It was fun working together.

Andrew: We were there two weeks without Heath, just doing our rehearsals and getting used to each other and then Heath came in and pulled us all together. He was the guy who coordinated everything, he said, "We're going to get together and party tonight."

Heath: And teach them how to play the didgeridoo.

Andrew: My first impression... Remember I ran into you in the elevator? He was standing there and he had blue leather pants and red shoes on. He was standing there with his didgeridoo and his carry on.

GF: Sounds like you guys had a lot of fun!

Andrew: We know, we're teasing. We're funny because we're two famous guys, hey?

GF: Oh yeah, my heart's fluttering because you both are my dream guys. So how much do you really know about each other?

Heath: We know everything about each other.

Heath: That's right.

GF: Andrew, who is Heath's hottest Hollywood girl?

Andrew: He watches "Buffy" religiously. He loves that show. Can't stand to miss it right?

Heath: Don't lie.

Andrew: What are you talking about? You're denying this now? It's OK, you can come out about it.

Heath: Have you heard the rumours? She wanted me to play her boyfriend. But, I cannot stand her show. I don't watch a lot of TV.

GF: Do you watch "Dawson's Creek"?

Heath: Oh, James Van Der Dork.

Andrew: He's my fave. (Laughs. Watch out guys, you're on dangerous ground!)

Heath: Sushi.

Andrew: Yeah... now Heath's fave food is Sushi too. He didn't use to like it.

Heath: Andrew where did you...

Andrew: paint my toenails?

Heath: No. What sort of research did you do for your role in this adaptation of a classic Shakespearian piece?

Andrew: (holding his chin.) Mmm, my research. I spent a lot of time in a couple of courses in UCLA studying Shakespeare.

Heath: Like six years of it!

Andrew: I just did another Shakespeare film called "O" (an adaptation of "Othello").

GF: Andrew, are your toes cold? Let's go inside. (We walk inside. Heath grabs the tape recorder and as we get into the lift he sings in his very sexy voice "Blue Moon").

Heath: Enter, enter, enter. We're going up to the second floor of the Hotel InterContinental. Hey, Andrew what have you been doing here? (Andrew's paying not attention to Heath.

Heath: Would you answer the question, please?

Andrew: Sorry, your honour. Yeah, I surfed. What about you, Heath?

Heath: I went tree climbing. I was jumping out of trees that were 20 foot up. It was like early morning exercise. That's why I'm so sore now, because I was jumping out of trees silly, silly, silly! Girlfriend ask me a question.

GF: Tell me about your first kiss?

Heath: It was awfully corny. It was in a game, it was a truth or dare kiss. It was a good friend of mine, Rebecca. We still laugh about it.

Andrew: Mine was with this girl behind the shed at a birthday party. I was standing there and she comes over and you make yourself so available, and she just walks over and I'm like "Woah!" (With that, Heath runs off to pose for our camera.)

GF: Have you had fun in Australia?

Andrew: Hell yeah! I've had a blast! (It seems like the fun just keeps on coming as Andrew pokes fun at his friend who smiles sweetly for GF's exclusive photo shoot. Somehow we don't think we can ever tame these two!)
