I Have a Crush on Milo Ventimiglia
Well, all that quickly changed the moment I saw him in person on the NBC red carpet. I kid you not, I saw Milo from afar and I started to get butterflies. I immediately blurted out to the reporters around me, "I think I have a crush on Peter Petrelli." (Peter, of course, is the character Milo plays on Heroes.)
Luckily I was able to keep my composure during our interview, but that didn't stop me from running home to my boyfriend to tell him I love Milo. Plus, I even think I may take down my Robert Downey, Jr. computer background and replace it with Milo.
Anywayyyyy, being a massive Gilmore Girls fan (I totally bought my mom a GG card for Mother's Day), I had to ask Milo if he cares that so many people still refer to him as Jess.
"You know what, that's all part of my upbringing. There's been a lot of work that I've done and I don't deny the fact that Jess was my first real thrust into the public eye. But I appreciate it. I enjoy that people are fans of that. And I'll tell you what. That was an amazing show. A great show."
As cute as Milo is, he's also incredibly humble. First of all, he doesn't think he's "made it" yet, saying "I'm at the top of the bottom." You gotta remember, the kid went from one hit TV show to another—something that doesn't happen too often, even to the biggest stars. And yet, he doesn't let any of it get to his head:
"To be quite honest I never expected to be a part of something like this. I never did. It's kind of frightening and exciting at the same time. I've always been one of those actors that's been under the radar and to kind of be grazing over it is interesting. At the same time it makes me feel a duty to do my job and do it well and hopefully not disappoint people."
Now I'm even more in love.

You are SO lucky that you were able to meet and interview him! I wish I could have been in your shoes at that moment. : ) Please take me with you next time you see him!! I would owe you my life... (or something nice!!)

My poor husband must be jealous of the crush I have on this guy. (Aside from my immense crush on Johnny Depp of course, but my husband was aware of that one when he married me.) Anyhoo...I cannot wait until Heroes is back!! Milo's the reason I started watching it in the first place. It's one of my favorites and I've been hooked since the 1st episode. (MeeLoh is SO adorable! I even find his lower left lip sexy. I have a pic of him on MySpace.) I have actually had a little crush on him since he played a young’n on the show the Opposite Sex. He was such a cutey!! I've seen him all over the place in different shows like American Dreams. I found out he grew up in Anaheim, CA and that’s only like 1 hr from here. He was “so close yet so far away”.
It's great that that you were able to realize your feelings for him, but it's just more competition for me! LOL
I better stop before I get myself into any more trouble. All I can say now is --- woman I can relate!
That wasn't supposed to be Anonymous!:
I don't know why my name didn't show up. I wonder if it will appear this time?
I love Heroes and awww that's great you got an interview with him. He is very handsome and I actually just voted for him in this years PETA sexiest Vegetarian poll =)
Hey, all I can say is "Back off, beotch, he's mine, I saw him first!!!"
OMG, I would do anything to meet that tasty little piece of Italian dessert. My boyfriend knows this and he doesn't have a problem with my infatuation/crush on Milo. He knows that Milo is #1 on my "to-do" list if I ever meet him in person...LOL
**Sorry if this is a double entry but it didn't show up the first time I sent it**
I have such a major crush/infatuation where Milo is concerned. My boyfriend knows and just laughs when I talk about him. He knows that Milo is #1 on my celebrity "to-do" list if I ever meet him in person!!! I can't help it...I want a piece of that little tasty Italian treat!!!
I just wanna know when he's going to leave Hayden for me!!!
