NEED YOUR CHEER FLICK FIX?

Make your way to theaters today to check out the super-funny and spirited movie, Fired Up. Girl-crazy hunks Shawn Colfax (Nicholas D’Agosto) and Nick Brady (Eric Crhistian Olsen) aren’t exactly looking forward to spending their summer sweating it out with other dudes at football camp. So what’s a teenage guy to do? Well, if you’re these two schemers, you decide to follow the spirit squad to cheer camp in the hopes of spending some quality time with the ladies. What they didn’t expect, though, was to actually enjoy tossing around their new teammates as much as throwing around the football.
This tongue-in-cheek cheer movie features dozens of real-life cheerleaders and even a few celebs who had experience on the sidelines prior to filming. Molly Sims, who is a former cheerleader herself, plays the squad’s coach, and AC April 2009 cover girl, Danneel Harris has a spirited past of her own. Read on to hear her dish on what it was like making this cheerful movie!


INTRODUCING DANNEEL HARRIS

Bombshell Danneel Harris is Fired Up about her role in her latest flick. Whether she’s playing fiery, Rachel, from the hit CW show “One Tree Hill,” or Kumar’s love interest in Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay, one thing’s for sure, this red-headed beauty has never forgotten her roots—cheer roots, that is.


Take a peek into Danneel’s past and find out what it was like to cheer in the South and why you should go see her new movie, Fired Up in theaters now.

AC: So, before you played one on TV, you were a cheerleader in real life. When did you pick up your first poms?
Danneel: I began cheering in eighth grade on the JV squad at St. Edmund HS in Eunice, LA, and then transferred to Eunice HS, where I cheered on the JV and varsity squads. But I knew I wanted to be a cheerleader my first day of kindergarten! My elementary school was connected to the main high school, so I could see the older girls practicing in the field right outside my classroom window.

The love affair was instant! Several of the girls and I formed a squad and would practice every day at recess over the next couple of years. If memory serves, I believe we were instructed by our fearless 6-year-old leader, Kyra Martel. She was elected captain of our group due solely to the fact that her older sister was a “real cheerleader.” But truth be told, I believe my mother was dressing me up like a cheerleader before I could walk.

AC: What was your position on the team? What were you known for?
Danneel: My position on every squad was as a base. Our squads were all-girl, so if you happened to be over 5-foot-2-inches, which I was, you were automatically a base. I guess I was best known for my really loud cheering and all-around spastic behavior on the field.

AC: Any cheer memories you can share with us?
Danneel: I loved cheering at football games the most. Although, now that I think about it, basketball games were pretty fun, as well. They had the added element of danger…We only had a tiny space along the back of the court to cheer on and were constantly dodging both the ball and the boys.

AC: So how did cheer influence your career choices?
Danneel: I owe a major part of my career to cheerleading. I used my knowledge of the sport in my portrayal of Rachel Gatina on “One Tree Hill.” Rachel’s first appearance on the show was actually at cheerleading tryouts. I was definitely drawn to the character, because like me, she changed schools midway through and joined a brand-new squad. However, the similarities end there, I assure you. I didn’t drive limos off bridges or steal boyfriends as a hobby.

And then in Fired Up, we had to learn several routines for the film, and my knowledge of the basics allowed me to spend more time on the complicated dance moves.

AC: Tell us a little about your character in Fired Up.
Danneel: I play an average high school girl named Bianca. Like most cheerleaders, she’s concerned about fitting in, shopping, relationships and coming in first at the cheer camp competition.

AC: What drew you to this particular role?
Danneel: I often play the antagonist role, and while that’s fun, I was up for a change. Bianca is a sweet girl who’s a loyal member of the underdog squad. I thought it would be fun to be on the good guys side for once—and I was right.

AC: What was it like working with so many cheerleaders on this set?
Danneel: Fired Up was such a blast to be a part of, it was hard to consider it work. We supported each other throughout the filming, and I made a couple of lifelong friends—it was as real as any squad I’ve ever been on.



5 REASONS YOU SHOULD GO SEE FIRED UP NOW:
By Danneel Harris
1. Because it’s about cheerleading, duh!
2. It’s pee-in-your-bloomers funny.
3. There are cute boys in it.
4. Your boyfriend will love it—just tell him Molly Sims is in it.
5. It’s got heart and a great ending.

Hey, I will gladly share my thoughts where it matters. It's not fun to see a movie otherwise.

That's a cute article, too.
