GIRLS LIFE - "I do have someone special"

As if you don't know, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe , a tale of four sibs who enter an icy, magical world through a closet, in theaters now.

What was the most exciting part about being in this film?

Skandar Keynes: The free food!

William Moseley: The battle scene, definitely. I had to gallop a white Spanish horse across the battlefield toward New Zealand's white snow-capped mountains. That was wonderful.

SK: At first, I was really bad at riding the horse and wondered why he didn't listen. But then I gained confidence and did some cool rearing stunts on the horses. Sword fighting was cool too. I had wanted to do sword fighting--I saw it on Star Wars and wanted to do it.

You did this in full suits of armor, right?

SK: Yeah. I kept having to get mine refitted because I grew 6-and-a-half inches in the six to seven months we filmed. I'm now rather taller than most people.

WM: It was kinda difficult to do my schoolwork in the armor. To think now that I was once sitting down, doing my English literature in full armor. You didn't take it off during tutoring because it took such a long time to put it on and off.

What's your favorite creature from the film?

WM: The Cyclops. They were amazing. They were quite simple but had independent moving eyes that were so realistic, it was amazing. It was a rubbery plastic sort of thing, with one person in it. A really good mask. I had to battle the Cyclops.

SK: The wolves were really cool. There were about 12 wolves, and they were real. There was one they would let us touch, and I petted it.

Were there any on-set romances?

SK: Will liked the producer's niece. She was really nice and really cute, which was sort of, "Oooh, tension." She was told not to come on set for a bit 'cause he was really distracted. They kept saying I had a crush on Tilda [Swinton, who plays the White Witch], and it was really embarrassing. I don't have a crush on her, but she is really cool.

Do you guys have girlfriends?

WM: I do have someone special, but I'm not going to reveal who it is. We've been together for a while.

SK: I recently split up with a girl after about two months. I'm not sad. I'm over it now. It's cool.

Are you prepared for having female fans flock to you?

WM: I don't know--it's really bizarre. I will just take things as they come. I have to take it in my stride and take a few deep breaths and manage it in the most mature way I can. I think that's probably the best way to deal with it.
SK: This one girl said she saw me in a magazine, and she was asking me all these questions about Will. I told her, "You know, Will has a girlfriend." She was really disappointed.

Do you have any hidden talents?

WM: I love juggling every now and again. I can juggle sort of anything, really. Anything that needs juggling, I can pretty much get it going. Much to my mother's objection, I always juggle the fruit in the house. Whenever I see it, I pick it up and juggle it. But I try to be too elaborate or better at it than I am, so I drop it and my mom gets pretty angry with me.

SK: I can do different things with my tongue, like make it go into four parts. And I can crack my neck and my fingers. When I was young, I fell off a swing, so I have a massive bump on my middle finger that looks weird. I can bend my finger all the way back. The first time, it really hurt, but you sort of get used to it.

We'll take your word on it!
