Truth or Dare
You've probably heard a zillion rumours about Buffy's Alyson Hannigan, so we asked her to set the record straight...
Rumour 1
You met George Lucas recently and won a role in the next Star Wars film and that's why you've come to Oz to film it.
No, aren't they finished with the movie now? I've come to Oz to promote the Buffy DVD and to sign a bunch of stuff. I got to meet some fans, that was fun. Then I went to like some mall, called the QVB! It was cool!
Rumour 2
Adam Sandler is going to be a guest star on Buffy.
Yeah, Adam Sandler's going to be on the show. I'm a huge fan -- huge fan! He's going to bring Willow back from gay-dom. He comes on the show and Willow goes back to boys, all because of him!
Rumour 3
There'll never be another series of Buffy cos you want to make movies.
Oh, that's false, we're all contracted for the next two years. We'll do movies if they come up. There's a big difference with movies you have a lot more time, and television is very quick. With a movie you have three and a half months to shoot an hour and a half, television you have eight days to shoot an hour. Plus, you definitely make better friends with cast members working on a TV series. I hope to remain friends with the cast members from Buffy for the rest of my life.
Rumour 4
When you said "say my name bitch" in American Pie, you just made that up on the spot.
Yeah, that was an ad lib. That's another thing with movies, you have the time to throw something in. The directors were like "OK, throw something in," so we were like "Well what should we say?" He suggested, "What's my name" and I asked im if I could say it and they were like "Yeah, we'll probably never be able to use it but, OK, try." So we just did one take and it was hilarious! We were all laughing afterwards and were like "Oh, they'll never let us use that!" After the movie was edited they had left it in. I thought it was funny. There aren't any other lines I ad-libbed. I'm not that confident to write a script or anything.
Rumour 5
You have a cat named Dr. Zeuss.
[Nick's note: Dr. Zeuss should be Dr. Seuss, the children's book author]
(Looking sad) I did. Next question.
Rumour 6
You have a phobia of spiders and you were nervous coming to Australia in case you were bitten.
No, I'm not too fond of spiders that don't have handlers. Acting spiders -- great, they're fine. Do you guys have a lot of spiders here? Oh great, well we're leaving then. No, I'm just scared of scorpions and stuff. Like if I find a spider in my house or something, I don't kill it! I'll try to usher it out. Gran-daddy-long-legs are very sweet, I don't know if you guys have those. So I just try to get a piece of paper and throw it outside. But if it looks really scary, I'll just be like "sorry" and squish it. Anything that can kill you is not really something I want to see, unless it's in a cage.
Rumour 7
Buffy fans meet up in America to discuss your hairstyles. They say they like it long but they don't like it when it's tied up in a knot.
What? Wait, say that again? Willow's or Buffy's? No, that's gotta be false, I mean, it's short now. And I don't do much to my hair really. I don't think anybody cares. If they were having a meeting about the hair, that could be a little odd. It would be a boring meeting. I haven't really had any weird fans, everybody's really sweet and really nice. I've heard of some weird things fans do, but I don't really want to say that because it would give people bad ideas.
Rumour 8
There's a website called Hannigan.com which is actually written by you.
No, is there? My publicist is writing the address down! It's not written by me. I don't have my own website. I've looked at quite a few of my fansites, they're really sweet, it's amazing how much time and effort that these people put in. I'm surprised at some of the photos that people are able to get. I wish they couldn't find those. It's scary sometimes when I see photos of myself I never knew existed.
Rumour 9
You're giving up acting next year to try your luck as a racing car driver.
(Laughing) No, that would be completely false. A race car driver? Cos I did a celebrity race? I didn't come in last, but I came very close. I could see last! I think I beat George Lucas and Ashley Judd, and some other people. You can see who's driving past you, they have the names all over the cars. I think only the professional race car driver obviously overtook me. I know Ashley Judd did at one point, but then I got her back! On the straightaway off all places! It's like you must have really messed up that I passed you in the straightaway!
Rumour 10
You hate horror movies and you've never seen one.
All these rumours are wrong! I'm glad I can tell you the truth! No, I like horror movies. I mean you know, they're actually funny. They scare me, I'm a chicken, so I've got to go with someone I can grab onto! But I do go and see them when I have the time, and if I have a friend with me!
# 3...LMAO!
