                                    He’d chain-smoke and she’d stare up at the sky

                                     And say this life, this love, this river has to end

The libertines – 2002 Interview / part 5

skint-andminted:

If you had a film made about your life, which actor would play you?

Carlos: Chesney Hawkes would play me.

Peter: That little kid in..what’s that film with the ballet dancer in?

Pippa: (giggling) Billy Elliot

Peter: Yeah, that’s it, the kid’s little mate who wears make-up.

Pippa: Awww!

Carl: He looks like you!

Peter: Yeah he does look like me!

John: He’s a good looking kid tho. Some B-List celebrity would play me, probably Barrymore or someone, that would be great.

Pippa: Interesting film!

Carlos: (laughing lots) That would be a great film! (sings) Do you remember 19899999??

“Sometime close to the day that Carlos & I watched ‘Love and Death on Long Island’ (and afterwards paraded through the tea rooms of Piccadilly) we both filled in application forms and we were tres excited to be invited to the same group ‘interview’ – t’was more of an audition though. I got the part. Carlos never. This did not bring any animosity – we both know that success for either of us is magnified a million times if it is shared by us both. But hey ho and never you mind the acute psychological burdens this most splendid and dark relationship heaps upon me.”
