2:16Hello everyone, my name is Jamie Lang and this is Great Company.

2:25Well, happy Friday, everyone. Happy Friday. It's Jemima and Jamie here. Welcome back. Nice little tune right there. You're welcome. You are bloody welcome. Today, we normally don't release an episode. No. But. But. We are. We are. Screw it. There you go. Enjoy. Yeah, that's it. As you can see from the title, you know who you've got. We wanted to release it on a Friday for lots of different reasons. So firstly, we want to get this guest out because the movie they're in has been released. Secondly, the movie that they're in, Freakier Friday, the sequel to Freaky Friday, if you know what that is, with Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan, is about Fridays.

3:07And we thought a Friday would be a nice day to release this. We are really good at coming up with those. Yeah, so we came up with it. Those are kind of great ideas that we come up with. So we have Chad Michael Murray on the show. Chad Michael Murray. How do you know, when you think of Chad Michael Murray, what's the show that you think of him in? I don't want to be anything other than Gavin DeGruel, his song. It's One Tree Hill, him playing the, bouncing the basketball over the bridge. That was my jam in my teens. Really? I think of him in Cinderella Story. There you go. Different strokes for different folks.

3:39Different strokes for different folks. But yeah, a heartthrob nonetheless. A heartthrob nonetheless. We got time with Chad in a hotel room in London. Lucky Jamie and Chad in a hotel room. What happened? And we really bonded. Really? Yeah, it was quite interesting. We had around 40 minutes with him, so we didn't have the full two hours that we normally have with our guests. So we had to try and pack a lot in, just caveating that to make sure. It's not the longest of episodes that we normally have. That's why we're coming out on a Friday. It's not a main ep. It's a little extra bonus. It's a little extra bonus for you.

4:10So we really, really hope you enjoy it. And it's a big throwback. And also, it's great to hear about what the new movie Freakier Friday was like to record and everything about it. So enjoy this episode with the absolute heartthrob. Did your heartthrob when you went through the door? He did, actually. Really? Yeah, he's very good looking. You know when you said you really bonded with him, what was it like, the energy? Was it just like... I think because with actors who are doing these types of things, they probably think, okay, it's going to be another podcast. and I think he realised he actually really enjoyed it because at the end he did this weird thing where he went, I really enjoyed that man.

4:50I went, oh thanks buddy. He went, no, no, seriously man. I like really enjoyed that. That's really nice. It was very nice of him. So hope you also really enjoyed this listener. Really enjoy it. If you haven't subscribed to the show, please do and also get in touch with our Instagram at Great Company Podcast or send us an email at greatcompany at jambopproductions.co.uk. Enjoy this episode of Great Company with Chad Michael Murray. We can do, what is that stuff called when you breathe and make noises? ASMR. Yeah, we can do that here. Maybe we should just do the whole thing just like that. All right.

5:28With Preak and Franny, when the team come back together, was that a weird moment? When you walk onto set for the first time, have you been chatting about it and maybe having this conversation? It's not strange. For me, that would be like a strange moment. It's incredibly surreal. Yeah. All of it. All of this that we're doing is incredibly surreal. I'm so proud for these women. I'm so honored to be a part of it. I loved watching Lindsay take the next step and the progression of her career and just talent to be able to take it to that next notch. Like, she's so good in this film. Yeah, she's great.

6:03She took the next step in the growth of just being an artist. It's insane. I think that has a lot to do with family and having a baby and just that kind of stuff. Like you really become yourself in those moments, which you're going to see soon. And, um, watching Jamie just be the leader that she's always been. But now myself being in the industry for so much longer, being more comfortable and being able to identify it. Like when you first come in, you're just like, all right, guys, don't find out that I'm terrible at this and fire me. Like, let's not go there. Is that what you're basically trying to not let anyone find at the beginning?

6:39You're trying not to get fired. You know, you're being told, don't screw up the table read. Like they'll get rid of you right after the table read. It's very rare that that would ever happen because they understand that people aren't off book. People aren't performing. People just read enough of a sheet of paper. I now go in like ready to go for the most part. Right. And I've gotten more comfortable as I've gotten older. And so I started having fun a little bit in the table reads or wherever. anyway like it lets you just be more have more bravery be more courageous in your choices and have fun and so we walk on set and it was just a love fest literal love fest and i think it comes through in the film everybody hugged each other just a little bit longer because it had been 22 23 years right you just don't know when you're gonna see each other next time you know when you first started out did you have imposter syndrome i wouldn't i i don't know if i would classify it as imposter syndrome i think everybody has that to a certain degree right so yeah i get can i identify it that way i would say i tried to be something that i wasn't because of the way people classified me does that make sense yeah that makes two other sense but explain that more so because you thought people classified you as something so you thought you had to be something that wasn't actually you exactly nailed it nailed it you know so people put you in this box and then you go okay i gotta be that guy but you don't you're not really that guy and so you're doing things that you wouldn't particularly normally do out of the way that everybody else sees you or discusses you and then you look back and you go who is that like that's not i'm not that guy that's not me like i'm pretty jovial i'm a pretty happy guy like i ride right in a mellow state i don't need to be um cool i don't need any of that stuff wow and so you know you're you're in your younger 20s and you're starting to find success and you think you get insecure and so your insecurities lead to a b c d and then you're just off the off the rails you know what i mean yeah I totally know what you mean because what happens is, is because of the, maybe because of the roles in the Hollywood society and things like that, you're pictured as a certain, this certain character, this certain person, because you were the heartthrob and you, you know, you, you, you probably are still this heartthrob for lots of people.

9:08Man, come on. I saw that jawline when you walked in. I saw that. But you were. And so then what comes with that is a lot of pressure to then continue continue being that outside of the characters as well within life yeah yeah so you do a lot of things differently you know and i went through a bunch of different phases i went through the phase of the insecurity was kicking in so you look to people who had been there first you know and you'd see a photo of you know johnny depp on the carpet looking cool and be like okay well i can model myself after a b c right and i didn't like my smile so i wouldn't smile you know i'd try to have this but then you just come off looking completely different than you thought you were right or you try to dress a certain way because you feel like that's going to stand out and then you go through a next phase and the next phase is going opposite of the way everyone sees you so i grew out this really grizzly beard and i wanted to be seen in a different light and uh trying to force you try to force something that's not necessarily it you're an actor your job is to perform and so i heard brian cranston say um you know that his entire career changed when he stopped going in trying to win a job like oh i'm gonna beat all these guys he went in and he just started realizing that this was his opportunity to just show them what kind of an actor he was all the pressure was off it wasn't a competition anymore it was just him going in and doing his thing and everything changed for him yeah and that is the difference between growing a grizzly adams beard looking like a homeless guy going i want to be you know doing these kind of jobs over there and then just going in when you have the opportunity and being that guy in the audition that's performing versus living so it makes sense yeah it's great it's always like there's a great um there's a great poem which is all about how whenever you want whenever you want like a London bus to come it never it never arrives but then when you're not thinking about it or caring they'll come everywhere everywhere everywhere yeah yeah it's with everything it's hard to let go never gonna find a cab in New York until you don't need one until you don't yeah

11:23man I'm about to have my first kid dude congrats man thanks brother appreciate it greatest thing in the entire world nothing better give me this so you've got three yeah a roller coaster in the best way i mean i went back to the world didn't i yeah you did right you did um i have 10 eight and one okay and we loved it so much the first two times that we went back for number three uh i will say however she's the last one because she's the toughest she is she is she's busy we're gonna go with busy she is just oh my gosh uh just to try to get out of the room right now She was running around the room following me, singing a song.

12:03Da, da, da, da, da. Man, I saw this because I was like umming and ahhing for a long time to have kids, right? Yeah. So I was like, because it's one of those things which is like. You're still pretty young. 36. Oh, okay. You did wait a hot minute, aren't you? Yeah. So I'm getting to that point and it's just the moisturizer I am. There you go. You're using that red light therapy when you're sleeping. Dude, I know, man. I get that all over my face. um but i was like freaking out about like kids and stuff like that and then um i saw this kind of cheesy thing on social media a lot of things but one of the things that someone said was this quite successful guy talking they said what's your best achievement he was old he was in his 70s said being called dad and i was like that's the greatest thing there is nothing better like so you know i've been really blessed to do so many things travel the world and do things that people most people can only dream of and if someone said dad or all that and no question dad 10 out of 10 times really yeah oh yeah i'd trade it all on heartbeat get out of here it's the greatest thing your greatest achievement by far just all i ever wanted to do is be a great husband great dad and that's where we put our focus you're gonna love it it's the greatest now are you gonna lack in sleep yeah are you gonna start naming your gray hairs after them sure it happens but it is like you start learning what real love is you start learning what true selflessness is yeah and and there's just nothing better and okay here's the worst part yeah give it ready here's the way they're a mere reflection and you've heard this time and time again they're a mere reflection they're a mirror into your soul so you're going to start seeing things that you can't stand about yourself and their actions and you're going to go no don't do that what are you doing don't do that but if you couldn't coach it out of yourself what makes you think you can coach it out of them so So the best advice I can give you is fix it in yourself so that it doesn't get handed down.

14:02Let it die with you. That's what they mean by that. You got to let those things die with you so that it doesn't carry on to the next generation. So what kind of things do you think that you had to let die with yourself?

14:14Grew up in a family of boys. Just my dad. So very stubborn upbringing. singing the word i know like this the phrase i know i know i know came out and all of a sudden my son started using it i was like oh my gosh that sounds terrible and my wife was like where do you think you got it from i was like oh no we got to correct that and so it was immediately to cure and course correct for myself yeah because you're not aware of it they're blind spots you really can't see these things that you do but you see it when your kids do it and you go guys it's not a likable trait. You got to fix that. It's better to say, oh, interesting.

14:55Oh, that's what I thought. Oh, that's so cool. Or I had heard that. There's other ways to say, I know. That's great advice. It was fascinating. With Freaky Friday, by the way, let's go, man. Freaky, it's unreal. I saw it last night. Yeah. Let's freaking go. It's so good. It is so good. So good. And that was my era, right? That was like, you know, so freaky friday was like my time all those kind of movies and those kind of shows so then it's one of these scary things that when you make a remake everyone always goes uh-oh what's gonna be like let's not let's not fuck this up right oh we can curse here let's not fuck it up here we go yeah we can let loose and i watched it last night and i watched it by myself in this like big cinema room man it's so good it's so good and the what i love about the themes in it right is like there's such you'll find this with kids and this is what i'm worried about with my kids that's why i want to mention them there's such a disconnect between generations now because of social media and words and lives and everything probably that's always been the case and what we kind of see in the movie is that when they swap roles you kind of walk in the shoes of your parents and you understand that everyone is just trying and everyone's just living the same life and we're all doing our best the whole time it's kind of a beautiful message beyond uh you know people often ask like you know who would you want to swap bodies with like and and a lot of times it's like i'd like to see my great grandkids vision in life not to just see where the world is yeah that's one way but to see what type of a legacy you left and i'm not talking financial or historic i'm talking about the way that your kids viewed you that they described you to their kids right because that's going to be the raw version where they're like you know my dad was a little rough on me you know it was a lot of this or you know uh and you want to be you want to be looked at with love and kindness and you just want like when you go the greatest thing is oh man we lost a good one like we really lost a good human today.

17:03So that's one of the angles with this movie is they have the opportunity to see what it's like to live in someone else's shoes in a completely different world. We're talking of course, three generations here. What a completely different world. It is from my father to my children, the things that we've had to learn, the things that are no longer acceptable. Right. It's utterly fascinating. Yeah. It's amazing. Dude. It's amazing. What kind of legacy do you think you want to leave? that guy loves his wife and kids more than anything in the world that's it so simple that's it it's all i need i mean all the rest of it's just not it's not it's not significant it's not real to me right i do i want to i want to treat other people with love kindness infection i want to help i literally want to go out and every day with whether it's the simplest gesture of taking a photo or you know taking a or signing an autograph or saying hello to your grocer in the kindest way spreading this light and love that's contagious and infectious and it gets to the next person and then they spread it and they spread it and they spread it and just starting that to leave this world in a better place than you started how cool would that be if you knew and you were checking in from up above when you're done you're looking down you're like oh okay all right i just saw the scoreboard we did okay you know like that would be cool um what by you?

18:26Great question. I think, look, I've always believed, right? Whenever I got into this industry, my mom said to me, be nice to everyone on the way up because you never know who meets on the way down. And so I've always led with kindness, always. I think that's the most important thing because there's a great book which you should read if you ever get a chance. It's called Unreasonable Hospitality. It's about a guy who made the best restaurant in the entire world, but he didn't do it through food. He did it through hospitality. And he says, people never remember what you do or what you say they always remember how you make them feel yeah and if you and if you do that in life at the end of the day they're going to say that guy is or that person's a great person and that's kind of what you want you want to sit in your rocking chair when you're 90 years old on your porch and you want you don't you're never going to remember what car you drove or what yacht you had or what this or that no one's gonna care about that they're going to care whether they're a good person a hundred percent and at the end of the day two three generations from now and nobody's gonna remember anything anyway no they're not okay so just affect everyone in this room the best way you possibly can just so you can lay your head down at night and go it was a good day dude maybe they should build statues of us then people will remember us no i'm good you know what i see those statues and it's like okay all right well they made an impact and that's really really cool and that's great for them i don't need any of that i really don't it's just one of those things i don't know i used to when i was younger it was like live fast die hard which is the worst piece of advice terrible that was my um that was my bebo do you remember bebo the hell's bebo okay it's okay it was like facebook before facebook maybe it didn't drift as far as i uh i came from a less than financially well-off family so we didn't have the internet it was like myspace my you could leave quotes my quote was live fast die young which is the worst idea because you live live old and live live old and live life slow like just man enjoy the moment sit there you know i remember hearing vince fawn once say just like be present and at first it's such a broad statement but when you get into the specificities of it and you're like okay be present be here right now don't be in your head worrying about your grocery list or what you got to do later what interviews after this or how much time's taken down just be here and i found that overwhelmingly calm because you're like okay if i just worry about what's right now it gets rid of stress how do you achieve that it's a marathon it ain't a sprint and that's how you achieve it when you realize that you're not going to become something that you're not overnight it's these things take time they take building i'll start i started with a rubber band uh a fantastic therapist get yeah there you go yeah rubber band um and i started snapping my wrists for corrections when i realized i was doing something that i wanted to change about myself just a little snap and it worked yeah it trains you so the pain sensors pincer pain sensors in your body negate it to a negative give you a negative representation of that thought or that thing that you did and it auto corrects your system it's really quite fascinating i mean it worked for me i'm not gonna work for everybody else, although they might not be snapping at the right time.

23:25I heard that you got into acting. You broke your nose and the nurse or someone said, is this right? No, that's two stories combined. Okay, I'm just combining two. Here we go. You're combining two. I've spent a lot of time in hospitals. That's basically what we're getting at. I was 15 and my intestines had twisted. and I was hospitalized for two and a half months. It was, it was a lot. So we had surgery. I had internal bleeding. I lost 50 % of my blood. I was on my deathbed. Oh my God. It was, it was. You remember it? I was in and out of consciousness. And so I have visions. And I don't want to get too specific about all that stuff, but I just remember seeing my father, the weakest I'd ever seen him, and a priest at the end of my bed.

24:13And they're talking about last rites and all that stuff. and they gave me a blood transfusion to save my life. My nurse did and saved my life. But regardless, you're in there for two and a half months. And my organs shut down because your blood all coagulated around them and they got to wait till everything. So anyway, I had to have a second surgery to clean everything up. That being said, my other nurse was a model. That's every 15 year old boy's dream. Oh yeah, it's true. It's true, true. It's true, don't worry. That's all you could think about at 15. You're like, well, I'm going to get a girlfriend.

24:47And now, boom, you got a model nurse. Her name was Alana. And she said. I still remember. I love it. I do. And Sandy, the other nurse who saved my life. I remember both of their names. And Alana says to me, she says, oh, gosh, you should model. And I was like, I don't want to model. I want to be an actor. Like, I love film and television. Like, I want to give this gift to other people. And she's like, well, you can segue. You can segue from modeling into acting. She's like, look, when you get out of here, I'm hooking you up with this modeling company I know. And she meant it. And so I got out.

25:19I was like, I went from like 180 to 118 pounds. It was a skeleton when I got out. It was the scariest thing ever. I remember looking in the mirror the first time going, who is that? I didn't, like I cried. I couldn't believe that I was looking back at that guy. Just quickly, at 15 years old, what does that teach you? Even though you're young. I started my relationship with God. Wow. Amazing. and my relationship with my father became really close because my dad raising five kids on his own came to the hospital every single day and he spent multiple multiple countless nights with me when he has four more kids at home and so he would have uh our nanny come by and she'd spend the nights with the kids sometimes if he knew i was really struggling but he would go home he put dinner on the table he'd work with the kids on their homework then he'd come back to see me again and he had a full-time job as an air traffic controller like the man is tough as nails and he he did that for us and so i'm overly like beyond grateful and that's when our relationship really bonded so that's what i got out of it um yeah and so then you saw yourself and then you went into modeling so the once i gained some weight back uh-huh uh and she walked me in and i got the i got i went in there and they we didn't have a lot of money and so they paid my way to go to a convention in orlando and i find out that there's this acting uh competition like a minute before they're about to go on i'm like why did no one tell me about this they're like well we thought you were doing modeling i was like no this is the only reason i want to be here so i wrote this commercial in two seconds um for toothpaste yeah and i saw this girl she was a young model i was like hey do this commercial with me real quick and she's like yeah sure all we gotta do is kiss which is

27:09there was no side motivation yeah yeah I get it man I get it it worked out really well look we just got a kiss in this advert that's it it's easy no actually there was no side motivation but it worked out and do the commercial wing it in front of the crowd and done so the last day is your callback day where they a bunch of different companies they check a box I want to see this person. And there's like 90 tables. And like 89 of them gave me a check mark, except for the acting guy. And I was like, okay, screw this. I skipped every table, went straight to his and sat down. His name was Eddie Winkler.

27:49And I'm like, okay, you're the only table that I wanted. What happened? Confidence, man. I love it. And he goes, I just thought everyone checked the box. And you were just so, I just figured you were off to Milan or something. I just never thought you'd want to come over here. I was like no this is the only thing I want to do I want to be an actor so he gave me the shot and he's like dude come out to LA you can stay on my couch we'll take a meeting you can meet with it was Goldmarshak Leike at the time gave me some sides I did an audition in front of Bonnie Leike and she became my agent and off to the races graduated high school my dad said you got to graduate first I graduated high school jumped in the car drove to LA yeah let's go man yeah really really blessed oh cool it it's it's like also when it's that naive and i spoke to someone yesterday right big comedian here in the uk and she said the best piece of advice she got is that her agent said at the very beginning this is the most exciting time this is the time when you're like when you're this yeah it's always the most exciting because anything is possible and it's it's just like getting in the car and driving to la and being like here we go like that is like the greatest feeling and terrifying but yeah i was too young and ignorant and whatever to really think everyone's like that's really brave i was like oh just got what are you talking about that's what i wanted to go do i didn't i didn't think about it any other way the only thing i was deathly afraid of was uh la traffic yeah it takes like you know a month or two to get accustomed to that so your co-star jamie lee curtis has said that freaky friday was her career highlight really yeah that's what she says wow that's awesome i mean she's so good in it she's so she's so damn good in it and she's even better in this one and to take i don't know she's just so free she's so free to just let loose and go and we played so much and uh i love that about like our relationship i love working with her it's great what's your career highlight apart from the movie now i haven't had it yet it'll come it'll come i jays what's funny is i feel like i'm just starting that is the best way to be uh i feel like it's the tip of the iceberg what i find fascinating one is self-evolution right we evolve as human beings every single day my kids and my wife are the best thing that ever happened to me and that's when i finally started living all the rest of it just felt so pre-programmed even though all these things kept happening they all happened and i i do believe in fate and i was in the right place in the right time and i do believe i had guardian angels and god and everyone pushing me in this direction somewhere along the line i forgot why i was doing it and then i remembered why i was doing this and since then it's been the full evolution of where i want to go what I want to do, why I want to do it.

30:43And now it's, you're doing it for a family and kids. So you have that North star, you have that reason. It's the greatest thing in the world, but it's still not everything to me. The everything is my faith and family. That's it. Right. So I have that this, I love it. And I love it with pure passion. I love it with my heart. I love going to work. I love telling the kids, guys, I get to go to work today. That's the greatest thing. But because it's a lesson for them that they can carry so that whatever they do, no matter what you're doing, just take pride in your work. Take pride in your work. You get to go to work today.

31:21Not I have to go to work today and things like that.
