Hope all of you are having awesome weeks!
So I had to fill you in on this bit of news... ever since Johnny posted about the Eric Prydz video "Call on Me" a while back, I've been rediscovering an infatuation with Juan Pablo Di Pace... he's the hottie guy who takes the aerobics class (and makes lip-bitingly hot thrusting moves) in the music video. YUM!!
Anyyyyway... I was curious as to what this Argentinean model and actor (and full-time stud) was up to. Okay, okay, so really I was just looking for an excuse to Google Image his name and see what pics came up ;) The point is, I discovered in the course of things that Juan Pablo is about to take his experience with dance remixes from Steve Winwood to ABBA:
Juan Pablo has been cast in the role of Petros in the Universal film MAMMA MIA directed by Phyllida Lloyd. The musical film stars Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth and Julie Walters. Juan Pablo will be shooting in London and Greece throughout the summer.
Guess movie producers really are discovering the value of the Hollywood musical!!
"Hairspray" opened strong this month, so it's a good sign for musical movies. And sounds like the ABBA-inspired "Mamma Mia" is going to be the next adaptation. Unfortunately, while I haven't seen the show, I'm told that Juan Pablo's role (Petros) is not a major one. In fact, I'm pretty sure he only has a bit part as a handyman. That's in the stage version, of course. Who knows if the theatrical rendition will take some liberties. I hope so, and I hope that it involves Juan Pablo having to replicate those "Call on Me" hipthrusts... but this time, with a few other moves involved ;) oooh, I'm sorry! I just can't help it!
Anyway, thought that was a fun little anecdote for ya. "Mamma Mia," the movie version, is slated for release on July 18, 2008. So get ready to see all your favorite disco classics (as long as they were done by ABBA - and really, was any disco song NOT done by ABBA??) on the big screen. And get ready to see Juan Pablo strutting his stuff once again.
He's the same boy he used to be!
Lotsa love,
JADE
