英语访谈对话 519 Favorite Actor

 　　Todd: So, Kate, are you into movies?

　　Kate: Yeah, I watch them from time to time.

　　Todd: What actors or actresses do you like?

　　Kate: My favorite actor would be Brad Pitt.

　　Todd: Really, Brad Pitt? Now is that because he’s handsome or because he’s a good actor?

　　Kate: He’s handsome but he’s actually a very good actor. I like him because he is very well respected in Hollywood. You look at the other actors and they’ve all had these scandals¹: drinking scandals, drug scandals but I haven’t heard of anything about Brad Pitt.

　　Todd: That’s true actually. Come to think of it, I never have. What’s a movie that he was in that you really liked?

　　Kate: Ocean's Eleven. That was a very, very good movie.

　　Todd: Yeah, any other movies that you really liked?

　　Kate: I can’t think of the names right now, but he has a recent movie out called ‘Mr and Mrs Smith’ I think, and it’s with Angelina Jolie.

　　And that's ... did you hear about that?

　　Todd: No, I haven't actually.

　　Kate: They heard….Angelina Jolie is said to have been with Brad Pitt while they were making the movie, although Brad Pitt is supposed to be with Jennifer Anniston.

　　Todd: Right so they’re married, right?

　　Kate: Yes, they were.

　　Todd: They were married?

　　Kate: They separated.

　　Todd: But they’re not divorced²?

　　Kate: Not divorced, no.

　　Todd: Oh OK, no I didn’t know that.

　　So as a Brad Pitt fan who do you think is more his type? Mrs. Jolie or Mrs. Anniston?

　　Kate: I prefer Jennifer Anniston because she’s more calm and more… they seem like they could have a nice little family together, but Angelina Jolie, she’s very wild and keeps partying and …

　　Todd: Yeah, they do seem like they’re different, that’s true.

　　Kate: Yeah, very different.

　　Todd: What is it about Brad Pitt’s features that you think make him attractive?

　　Kate: I like his smile, his eyes. That’s generally what I go for.

　　Todd: So in a guy you look for a nice smile and nice eyes?

　　Kate: Definitely³. From first impressions, from the first look, definitely the smile and eyes. If they stand out, I will go for them.

　　Todd: Oh, very interesting. OK, thanks
