ROSELYN SANCHEZ RUSH HOUR HOW TO
But I really just do this because I love it-and because I honestly don’t know how to do anything else.Description: Roselyn Sanchez is an actress and writer, known for Rush Hour 2 (2001), Without a Trace (2002) and The Game Plan (2007). Some celebrities love the attention, and they’re photographed all the time. Being a performer means not needing attention but being cool with attention. There’s no privacy, and that’s a problem. When you get to the level where you’re making millions of dollars and you’re super famous, you’re not very happy, because of all the stuff that comes with it. I’m not doing this for money or because I want to be famous. If I said something dirty growing up, they’d smack my face. I don’t smoke or drink-I’ve never been drunk in my life-but I swear a loft. Every year my New Year’s resolution is to be more ladylike, but it’s so hard.ĭo you consider yourself a good girl or a bad girl? I go to all the fights.ĭo you yell out curse words during a fight?Įvery single one! It’s horrible. That’s not to say I’m not a huge fan of Mayweather. He’s going to leave an incredible legacy. Who’s gonna win the big bout this month, Oscar De La Hoya or Floyd Mayweather?Īs a Latina, I have to say De La Hoya. So should Maxim readers be nervous if they see you in a dark alley? They took a leap of faith on me, and it changed my life. Everybody read for that role, from big names to nobodies. After Rush Hour 2, my career became insane. It wasn’t painful, but I had to go to the emergency room. I was doing a scene where I had to kick a lot, and I did it, like, a million times, and I started bleeding internally. I did a lot of my own stunts, and one night I ended up in the hospital. Jackie has a team of people who choreograph all the big fights and stunt work, and they look like soldiers. Did the kung fu master teach you how to kick ass? I was ridiculously stupid.īut now you have a steady gig on Without a Trace and you’re filming Rush Hour 3, playing Jackie Chan’s love interest again. After a year the show was canceled, and I didn’t have a lot of money in the bank.
I went all out, spending crazy money I didn’t have. I rented a three-story house in the Hollywood Hills. My first television show was Fame L.A., and I was making, like, $7,500 an episode, which was an insane amount to me. We love the accent! When you started landing big roles, did you buy anything embarrassing? Never been able to get rid of the accent, though. Then I started watching a lot of American TV, and I dated a guy who didn’t speak Spanish, so I was forced to learn English. When I moved here, I was able to understand a lot, but I’d never had a conversation in English. I studied English in grammar school, but in high school I lost it completely. Was it tough learning English when you first came to the States? Sometimes if I don’t get a part, the reason they give my agent is, “She reminds me of my ex-girlfriend, and therefore I don’t like her.” And there’s nothing I can do about that. We don’t have as many opportunities as the Caucasian girls, and we all want the same roles. If I audition for a Latino role, it’s always the same five girls. Dealing with rejection is hell it’s something I’ll never get used to. If you don’t have thick skin, you’re not going to survive.
ROSELYN SANCHEZ RUSH HOUR PROFESSIONAL
What has surprised you the most about being a professional actress? Every Puerto Rican wants to go back to Puerto Rico to die. But sometimes I love it and think, Embrace your culture.
I don’t want to open my mouth, because everyone gave me a complex. Some people are very graceful and say, “I love the way you speak, but slow it down,” which I get. Is there anything else you’ve struggled with on the road to success? That’s when I call my manager and go, “Well, that was a waste of time!” You have to laugh at that stuff or else you go crazy. Then it turns to, “Are you dating anybody?” or something completely inappropriate. And for the first 10 minutes, they do just that. There have been many times when someone has taken me out for dinner because they wanted to talk about a project. Of course, the most important thing for me to hear isn’t, “Oh, my God, she’s so hot,” it’s, “She’s really great at what she does.” It’s even better when you hear both.Īs such a beautiful woman, have you ever encountered the Hollywood casting couch? If people think you’re sexy and beautiful, there’s nothing wrong with that. I told my parents, “I’m going to New York to become a performer.” And I left. When I was 21, I was on the number one live comedy show in Puerto Rico. I was ballet dancing at four, playing piano by six, and doing commercials by 12. How did you get from San Juan to Hollywood?
