| Jessica Talks
Life As A Duke |
We all know that
singer/reality TV star Jessica Simpson is set to
make the leap into film this summer with the release
of The Dukes Of Hazzard film, playing Daisy Duke.
She recently spoke to blackfilm.com about her
experiences in her big-screen debut. She said that
her and co-star Willie Nelson still plan to record a
duet, but the song has yet to be chosen. Simpson did
confirm that Nelson will sing the Dukes' famous
theme song (originally recorded by fellow Country
legend Waylon Jennings).
When asked why she chose Daisy Duke as her first
acting role, Simpson said, "It was important for me
to not go so far away from my persona and what
people already knew me as. Eventually [I'll] go
there in acting but for my first role I just didn't
want it to be too farfetched, and I just thought it
was an amazing character. I wasn't alive when Dukes
Of Hazzard was [on TV], but I did see all the reruns
and I'm from the South and the accent sort of came
natural and it's something that, as an all-American
girl, I wanted to keep."
Simpson also said she has signed a deal for her own
line of those famous Daisy Dukes cutoff jeans,
called "Bridges." For the film itself, she said, "I
tried on so many jeans. You can't even imagine how
jeans I tried on for this movie, but most of them
were jeans that we just cut off and made them as
short as we wanted to, which is probably more than I
would wear."
