He would do these really kind of condescending things. But I have a bit of a hard time with it, cuz I have like, trauma from my old guitar teacher. I tried playing guitar now, recently, like as of five days ago, starting to pick it up again and really trying to learn chords and stuff like that. But anyway, I used to take guitar lessons and I don’t know but I feel like guitar lessons are really hard. I could totally play my harmonica if you asked me to, but I don’t play it regularly. GRAZER: When I was little I took guitar lessons and harmonica lessons. First question––what’s an instrument you stopped playing? So the rest of this interview will be somewhat of a fact-sheet, reminiscent to vintage magazines that would print wholesome but bizarre every day facts about their subjects. However, I don’t think people know the little details that make up who you are. That keeps me productive and creative.ĪNTHONY:I think it’s ironic how before the internet, and even in the early days of it-the information accessible to us about an actor or musician we really enjoyed was so limited. I’ve also been writing a few short stories here and there, and poetry. It’s like my favorite thing in the entire world. Like, I’m obsessed with driving right now. I don’t have my license yet, but I have my learner’s permit and I’ve just been so excited about driving. GRAZER: Right now I’m honestly so focused on driving. It’s shocking to see that many people who know me.ĪNTHONY: What’s something that you're super into right now. So yeah, it’s kind of, shocking or something like that. Because I don’t know more than half of my followers. Um, I think the numbers, nonetheless, are pretty intense. But I am very, very happy and thankful when I get to experience that too, while still being a normal kid at heart.ĪNTHONY: One thing that isn't ordinary though is your amount of Instagram followers at your age. It’s not like this big, grand, luxurious thing. I don’t know, I feel like I have a very normal life still, like any 17-year-old. I was actually surprised that you still attended regular school. I love being in school, so that’s always been really important to me.ĪNTHONY: When we met and talked about your school. I'm at a really cool school now and I’m really loving it. GRAZER: I mean, I go to real school, and I spent the majority of my life in public schools. I had a public elementary school and a public middle school. How normal is your life, compared to other 17-year-olds? But at the same time, you're also doing magazine interviews. It's good that people think that I'm good at it.ĪNTHONY: I feel like you seem to have a somewhat ordinary life. I mean, I'm so grateful to be able to act and play pretend and play different characters all the time. But mostly, I'm just so happy and fulfilled that I'm able to do what I'm doing. Because I feel really, really, like in-sync with what I'm doing. JACK DYLAN GRAZER: It makes me feel like I’m on the right path I think. Does it feel weird when people say stuff like that to you? I’m sure you’ve heard something like this before. Because this is our first cover, going into it I thought, okay, who is someone that people will be talking about for years. I'm excited to talk to you for a couple of reasons. So I’m going to try and make this one a little different. A little bit over a month after initially meeting, we catch up for what I hope is a raw, unbiased interview on life at the Edge of Seventeen.ĭIO ANTHONY okay, so I'm ready for like a really chill interview. He's wildly curious, engaging, and his sense of self is second-to-none. Jack is from the Pacific Palisades, an idyllic residential neighborhood tucked between the Santa Monica Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. He's dressed in a deliberately mismatched Dickies suit. He has long and thick locks of curls, reminiscent of Jim Morrison’s famous mane. When I meet Jack in California, he has recently turned 17-quintessential teen- age. Luca Guadagnino's highly anticipated We Are Who We Are premieres-Grazer seems older, appears to be it too playing Fraser, an enigma of a teenager with a revolution going on inside of him. My family and I would go on to quote Jack as Freddy, along with every other character-and of course the ultra-catchy random shouting of SHAZAM! became a daily activity too fun to curb or refrain from.įlash forward to 2020, an unmatched year in American history. Grazer is now 15 on-screen, as the crippled Freddy Freeman, a good kid, and a good friend whose ability to believe saves his friends and his family from, ya know-evil destruction, etc. Smash cut to the spring of 2019-I am once again at the cinema––this time accompanied by my family as we watch the fantastical Shazam.
