A few weeks ago, TF1 gave a nice (very) early Christmas gift to fans of Chad Michael Murray by broadcasting not one, but two Christmas TV films with the essential Lucas Scott from the cult series The Scott Brothers : A Christmas to saveet Christmas like cat and dog both available on TF1+. But that's not all, since the 43-year-old actor is also on Netflix in a mui caliente fiction The Merry Gentlemannumber 2 of the Top! The latter spoke to Télé-Loisirs about this genre that he loves so much, explaining why he loved acting in these TV films. And he also took the opportunity to reveal his favorite Christmas film…
Excluded. “It's similar to what I experienced in my family where it was messy!” Chad Michael Murray (The Scott Brothers) reveals his favorite Christmas movie
Télé-Loisirs: Very often, Christmas television films emphasize the importance of tradition, transmission and community. These messages are particularly present in this TV movie, aren't they?
The notion of community is vital these days. What makes these TV movies so special, and why viewers love them so much, is also because they're about that. The world is made up of a multitude of communities. The world is primarily shaped by all these little pockets of people here and there and not by huge cities. Moreover, the inhabitants of these large megacities often return to the places where they grew up, where their roots really lie.
It's fun, my wife [Sarah Roemer, mère de ses trois enfants, ndlr] and I recently purchased a house in Buffalo. I'm from there, I was born and raised there before moving to Los Angeles, this giga-megalopolis. My wife found this house and fell in love with it. And there you have it! We return to the origins. My father lives a few minutes away, my brother does too. My best friend is around the corner. This sense of community is essential, there is something very beautiful in that. And this is also what the end of year celebrations remind us of. This moment when we come together and celebrate these magnificent things that are life, friendship, love.
Do you think that these Christmas TV films, which have multiplied and which have established themselves almost everywhere in the world in recent years, convey a new “American myth”, a “typical” American imagery, as have been able to do, without necessarily with the same degree of equivalence, the westerns or Disney before them?
That’s a hell of a question! Christmas movies have different impacts in homes, not all homes are like these Christmas stories and not all Christmas movies are the same. There are variations like The tree has the balls [une comédie délirante et grinçante avec Chevy Chase, ndlr] And I absolutely love this film, which is much more similar to what I experienced with my family during the holidays. It was messy, messy! The tree has the balls makes me laugh a lot because I see and have experienced the reality of these situations. But for some people, Christmas TV movies represent the dream of what the holidays should be like. And it is precisely this escape that we must give them. Just as we must ensure that they have the comforting feeling of being at home. So are Christmas TV films supposed to really capture, transcribe what Christmas is in the United States? No of course. And that's not what we're supposed to do through them.
