ELISHA
CUTHBERT
IT'S OFFICIAL: THE BOMBSHELL OF 24
IS AMERICA'S FAVORITE NEW STAR
BY KEVIN RAUB
ox's 24 was undeniabley one of last season's runaway hits. The series, which took place in "real time" over the course of 24 hourlong installments, depicted government agent Jack Bauer trying to prevent the assassination of a presidential hopeful on the day of the California primary. Along the way, he must locate his wife, who has amnesia, and uncover the truth about a Serbian warlord who faked his own death. At the same time, Bauer must identify the turncoats in his own agency who are working against him and, most importantly, rescue his daughter, Kim, who's been kidnapped by Eastern Block terrorists.
Sound unrealistic? Perhaps. But with 19-year-old Elisha Cuthbert sporting a sweaty, skintight, low-cut T-shirt during nearly every episode in the role of Kim, such a concern was hardly an issue. In fact, the show has become so popular that the second season's premiere episode this fall will be aired without commercial interruption. So kick back. And enjoy.
1
What's the best way to say hello?
What's up?
2
Are you a manipulator?
No, I'm too sweet for that.
I'm Canadian.
3
Is it true Canadian girls are easy?
There are easy girls all over the world.
4
Tell FHM something about some sexy business.
My stomach looks good and I don't have to work on it. And bellybuttons are cute. At least mine is.
5
Do you think it's fair to say your show, 24, portrays the most ridiculous, impossible day ever?
It's a bit far-fetched, but it's possible.
6
No, it's not. Kidnapping, murder, frame-ups, more murder, amnesia, exploding cars and then terrorists—
I never thought of it that way. It's so genius though.
7
Which farm animal would you not want to wrestle?
A cow. I'd have no chance. They're like tanks. With a pig, at least I'd have a chance, but a cow?
8
What's the name of the last dirty movie you saw?
I don't watch porn. I've heard of Debbie Does Dallas though.
9
Have you ever operated a chain saw?
No, but I'm handy with tools. I was a co-host on a show for three years called Popular Mechanics for Kids, so I'm pretty hands-on. I can fix a fan belt and change brakes.
10
What's the dumbest thing you've ever asked someone in bed?
Did I brush my teeth?
11
You once steered an aircraft carrier on that show. Answer this question: How long does it take to do a figure eight?
Twenty minutes.
12
Bingo! Twenty minutes at a standard 32 knots. What's the strangest thing you've ever put in your mouth?
Seal. It tasted like blood. Have you ever cut yourself and sucked on it? That's what it tasted like. It's raw flesh. It was disgusting.
13
What's the strangest movie role you've been offered?
Funny enough, a porn star. Her name is Danielle. But I don't know if I'm going to be doing it.
14
What's the combo to your gym locker?
55530. I didn't choose it. It came with the lock.
15
When is it OK to call a guy a bitch?
I don't think I'd ever call a guy a bitch. I'd rather use prick.
16
What's the worst thing about going to the doctor?
Everything. Doctors freak me out. The smell, the ... the list is endless.
17
Bikini wax?
Yes! I live at the beach.
Brazilian?
None of your business.
18
Where on earth have you visited that you will never return to?
Texas. It scared me. I didn't fit in. I had never seen a gun until I went to Texas.
19
What's the one great thing Canada has contributed to this world that Texas hasn't?
Maple syrup.
20
Fill in the blank: "If a man's ______ is hairy, that's good. In fact, the hairier, the better."
His head.
21
You're only 19. Please tell FHM something about yourself that might get you into trouble with Mr. and Mrs. Cuthbert.
I gave my younger sister alcohol on Christmas Eve. I bought three bottles of Smirnoff Ice for her and her friends.
22
That's a good Canadian. We have a giant American flag hanging in the FHM office. Would you like to pop in and salute it?
Why would I salute the American flag?
23
Quickly moving on, how far would you go with a dying man?
All the way.
24
Who is your favorite Baldwin?
The one from Bio-Dome, Stephen. He is so funny. He's my favorite. He cracks me up. I like funny guys.
25
Do you throw like a girl?
Nope. Except for when I'm mad. When girls get angry, they can't throw.
26
Can "it" ever go on too long?
Yeah, if it's boring. But that doesn't happen very often.
27
The best part about flying is...?
Nothing. I'm terrified. I cry. I vomit. I freak out. Then I pass out.
28
You were born in Calgary, which is famous for its Calgary Stampede. Have you ever been bitten or trampled by a horse?
No, but I've been bucked in the stomach by one. I was doing this movie Nico the Unicorn with a horse. The horse started getting aggravated, and I was sitting right behind is legs. It kicked me across the barn.
29
Have you ever hooked up in the back of a chuck wagon?
No! And I don't know if I want to.
30
What about your mom's station wagon? Whose music did you listen to when you were getting freaky in the back?
Bjork's "It's Oh So Quiet."
31
Show FHM what's in your pockets right now.
My license, two credit cards and 50 cents.
32
If FHM housesat for you and rummaged through your goodies, what would we be most shocked to find?
You would probably think I was a pyromaniac because I have 10 of those long torch lighters, the kind you use to light a barbecue. I have a candle fetish, and bigger candles are easier to light with the longer lighters.
33
When do you turn into a complete bitch?
When I haven't eaten. But I'm really not all that bad.
34
Ever had a gun pulled on you in Mexico?
Never been to Mexico.
35
Ever slip a boy the tongue at summer camp?
I've never been to summer camp, but I have slipped a boy the tongue.
36
You visited the White House during the Clinton years. Did he?
No, he was in Australia. I met the cat, Socks. That was fun. Even though I don't like cats.
37
Nobody does. Even cat folk don't like cats. Cats don't even like themselves.
That's funny. You know, you don't ask the normal questions. Everyone else just asks what it's like to work with Kiefer Sutherland.
38
So what is it like to—
I hate that freaking question! I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought it up. He's the coolest guy ever, but it's like, what do you mean, "What's it like to work with Kiefer Sutherland?" Why isn't it, "What's it like to work with Elisha Cuthbert?" That's what people should be asking him.
39
Is it true Kiefer is always flashing his old fella on the set?
No, not at all. Old fella! I've got to remember that one.
40
The show has built quite a devoted following. Any crazy fan bits?
I saw a bracelet from the show sell on eBay for $5,000 — a cheap $2 bracelet. I don't know if the person who bought it knew that, but now they do.
41
Tell FHM a secret about 24.
Mr. Floppy! He's this stuffed animal dog that the director, Stephen Hopkins, tries to put in the background of all the shots. If you look really carefully, you'll see him, silhouettes of him. He's everywhere.
42
Who sees your breasts more than you do?
But I see them all the time! Who can see them more than all the time?
43
In this month's issue, we're saluting TV's crappiest offerings. Do you have one you'd like to add?
M.A.S.H. It bores the hell out of me.
44
What's your favorite bit of rap jargon?
There's a line in Nelly's "Hot in Herre" where he goes, "I got secrets can't leave Cancun." Everyone who has been to Cancun on spring break has done something screwed up.
45
What have you done in the past that you would now like to fess up to?
When I was little, I lied and told my mom that I was allergic to milk so I wouldn't have to drink it. It went on for many years. I used to say I was lactose intolerant. Actually, there are a lot of people who still think I'm lactose intolerant, but I'm not.
46
You're an avid snowboarder. Describe the way your can felt after your first day.
My butt cheeks were fine. I don't really have an ass, so my tailbone was in a lot of pain.
47
If you were a porn star, what would your screen name be?
Speeder Murdoch
48
Fill in the blank: "For God's sake, please ______".
Don't smoke around me!
49
Describe the underwear you're wearing right now.
They're purple, bikini cut and from the Gap. And they're seamless.
50
What's the best way to say goodbye?
Ciao.
FHM
