Australia's Got Talent - Jordan Paris Interview
(download)
After our interview a few weeks back with ironic hipster Ash King my appetite was whet to attack yet another attention seeking whorebag (yes the point has been made that I'm also such a whore - but on the whole my attention seeking tries to make a point about society or is genuinely driven for laughs - not so I can be a presenter on MTV).
We booked Jordan Paris (Australian Idol 07 / Australia's Got Talent 11) this week and I was ready to let loose on this over tanned, capped tooth bogan from the GC. The vitriol in the media he has been given for 'stealing' comic jokes word for word on AGT made him ripe for the attacking. Some radio guy in Perth even prank called Jordan to offer him a fake job and humiliate him on the air. How could I match that?
Meanwhile Jordan was facebooking me to say he was uber keen to talk about his latest trip to Hollywood (not by invitation from anyone in particular - he just went over there because he is 'all celeb' now). Not sure how much he achieved heading over there - a friend put a few clips on YouTube of Jordan driving a Ferrari. I'm still keen to find out where his money is coming from... he says he paid for his teeth himself.
The interview was only suppose to go for about 5 minutes and to Jordan's credit it stretched out to around 15 minutes. The truth is he is engaging, fun and a genuinely nice guy. He certainly has an element of X factor and at only 22 he's got plenty of time to focus his energy on becoming a game show host. It may not be the most admirable life goal but the crew at Jumping with James have our fingers crossed that it all works out for Mr Paris. You've won us over JP - all the best!
