In Making Up America, a makeup artist has posted her heartwarming observations of Jim Sturgess during his 21 press junket in Washigton DC. Below is an excerpt from the blog titled, English Actors Part II: Ode to Mother’s Day.
So is the case with Jim Sturgess, the leading man in the movie 21 that came out last spring. As this mother’s day approaches, let him be the example of a well rounded actor and son, who’s mother should be extremely proud. Jim is also musically talented. In between interviews and photos for his press junket, he just started tinkling the ivories in the Ballroom entrance of the Four Seasons in Washington, D.C. When asked about practicing the piano he said (don’t listen mom because no one is perfect), “As soon as someone insisted I practice, I quit.” No problem. He seems to play with passion and really that’s all a mother can hope for.
Mr. Sturgess was equally passionate about the interview process of selling movies. After a set of interviews with local newspapers, radio and websites, he revealed that he felt “exposed” as he “told them everything” about himself.
Working with Mr. Sturgess, a young up and coming actor was an easy way to spend the afternoon. The notable event, however, was Jim’s interest in American History. He insisted that our entourage stop by the National Mall. Quietly, without the hoopla of the press or frenzied fans, Jim posed by the Lincoln Memorial and asked us questions about the significance of the President. Later, he really took his time studying and photographing the Korean Memorial. It was refreshing to see a young Hollywood actor consumed by history.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mom’s, especially the lucky Mrs. Sturgess who must be very proud of her son. Thanks to Beatleowl and Renata for this news.
