Duhamel calls Fergie a “real total starâ€
Josh Duhamel and Fergie are one of the hottest couples in Hollywood and their hot careers even match. But Fergie, who’s been heating up the pop charts, is the flashier one.
“She’s a real total starâ€, Duhamel says in the July issue of Best Life magazine, on newsstands June 26. “I’m more subdued than that. I’d rather sneak up on people. But that’s what makes us work. We have similar fundamental values. We both grew up in similar families.
She’s just got a great soul.â€
Duhamel 35, and Fergie 32-year-old (real name Stacy Ferguson), who performs with her band Black Eyed Peas and have a solo career alongside, are a couple for three years now. They don’t think of getting married soon according to Best Life. Despite this they bought a house together recently. A big one.
“A girl like Fergie comes with stuff – a lot of stuffâ€, Duhamel says in an interview. “And there just wasn’t enough room for the stuff.â€
Duhamel got his start on ABC’s “All My Children†before graduating to prime time (NBC’s “Las Vegasâ€) and film (“Turistasâ€, “Win a Date with Tad Hamilton!â€). He co-stars with Shia LaBeouf and Jon Voight in the Paramount Pictures action movie “Transformersâ€, directed by Michael Bay, which opens July 3.
“There’s still so much more I want to doâ€, he says. “Before it was about gaining confidence. Now it’s about gaining some respect for what I do. Get that, and everything you want will come along with it because people will want to work with you.â€
Duhamel says he admires the work of Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Leonardo DiCaprio.
“There are actors my age who are just incredibleâ€, says Duhamel, who studies the work of Matt Damon and Ryan Gosling. “They set the bar, and that’s where I want to be. It always feels like I have to prove myself to be more than what people think they see. That’s part of what I’m fighting right now. People don’t know what you’re capable of until you actually do it.â€
