Recently, the kid reporters at Newsday spoke with brothers Alex and Nat Wolff, who star in Nickelodeon's The Naked Brothers Band. Here is their interview:
Q: How old were you when you first performed in front of a live audience, and where was it?
Nat: At my (family's) apartment in New York. I was about 5. I played with a bunch of friends, and Alex sat in for one song. I just wanted to do a concert, so we invited all my parents' friends, all my friends, like the whole class.
Q: Which do you prefer: playing in a band or acting on TV?
Nat: I can't choose, I go back and forth. Usually I would say performing in a band, but, especially when I'm on the show, it's so cool to do the acting.
Alex: I think performing in a band, but just like (Nat), sometimes I just want to act.
Q: Nat, do you like Rosalina on the show (played by Allie DiMeco) in real life?
Nat: Next question!
Q: Who would you like to guest-star on your show?
Nat: I'd like Paul McCartney more than anyone. That would be so cool.
Alex: I'd like David Bowie, Ashton Kutcher or Jim Sturgess (who played Jude) from Across the Universe (a 2007 movie based on Beatles' songs).
Q: What is your favorite song on your CD (The Naked Brothers Band) and why?
Alex: I really can't pick a favorite, but there are two that I wrote, I Could Be and Alien Clones.
Q: What music do you like? Do you have a favorite album?
Nat: I'm a huge Beatles fan. I love Sting, Elton John. My favorite album is Rubber Soul (by the Beatles).
Alex: I love Green Day, the Beatles, Bob Marley, David Bowie. Right now, my favorite album is (the Beatles') Magical Mystery Tour.
Q: What is your favorite school subject?
Alex: Recess!
Nat: I like English, I like writing.
Q: Now that you're famous, do you ever want to trade places with regular kids like us for a day, or do you like your life the way it is?
Nat: I think being famous is kind of like being a regular kid, except everybody knows who you are, and everybody gets to hear my music now, which is really good.
