Chris Fountain : Thank you, heh.
Villa Fan : how did you get the chance to be in hollyoaks Chris?
Chris Fountain : I got the audition through my agent and just turned up. My first one was really bad and then thankfully I was recalled and they told me the day after that I had got the part.
Natalee : Do you like being on hollyoaks??
Andy : Were you a fan of the show before joining?
Chris Fountain : I was actually, yeah. Not a regular fan but I did watch it when I could. I love it Natalee.
Chloe : How did you feel about appearing topless in one of your first appearances on-screen?
Chris Fountain laughs
Chris Fountain : Erm... I was alright. I thought about having a sunbed beforehand but I didn't bother in the end. I was a bit pastey at that time, but I didn't really have much choice the director said 'You're having your top off in this scene' so I was like 'Ohh! Alright then.'
Dayna : Where you nervous on your first day?
Chris Fountain : I was yeah, when I first arrived the director and crew didn't realise that it was my first day so only after I'd told them did I get a big welcome. It was scary going in to the Green Room for the first time but everyone was so nice to me.
Becky16 : How old were you when you first knew you wanted to be an actor?
dude : how old were you when you knew you wanted to be an actor?
debbie : how did u get into acting?
Chris Fountain : Umm... I was about nine when I first started acting. I did small pantos and stuff, but then I got into acting seriously when I did Les Miserables. I also did Oliver. Then I got an agent and started to try for TV work.
mongo P : les miserables is soooo cooool what songs did you perfom??
Chris Fountain : I was Gavroche and I had to sing “Little People”, “That Inspector” and “How do you do, my name is Gavroche”. They were my solos anyway.
I LOVE JUSTIN IN HOL : whats your favourite scene you've done so far?
Chris Fountain : Some of the stuff that's going to be coming up soon. The football trials were really fun to do though.
sammi : If you could have a kissing scene with any other cast member who would it be and why?
Chris Fountain : Well... it would have been the girl who played Natalie but now she's left, so now it would be Jodi who plays Debbie because there is just something about her that is dead sexy. But saying that, if I got a kissing scene with any of the girls I wouldn't complain!
Sammy : Natalie is fine
emma08 : are you single?
linz : do you get a lot of female attention?
Lianne : are you attached?
Chris Fountain : I am single, yes, as of about a month ago.
Hollyoaks_Mad : awwwwwwwww
sazzibaby17 : aww
Chris Fountain : And yeah I do get quite a bit but not too much that I have to stay in my house. It's always nice to have a bit of female attention though.
sarahann : what do u like doing outside of work
anita-mai : what do u do in your spare time?
Chris Fountain : I like dancing. I was going to go to a dance college before I got this. I'm a big music fan. I'm really into hip-hop and r’n’b and just general lad's stuff - golf, football.
hally : your good at football on screen, are you actually any good?
Rachel : Chris are you really good at football? and who do you support?
Chris Fountain : I support Huddersfield town which no one has probably ever heard of. I'm ok I suppose. In real life I'm in the Hollyoaks charity team and I'm the goalkeeper.
scotgirl : Whats the funniest thing that has happened to you on set??
Chris Fountain : Sometimes I have days when I'm really clumsy. I've fallen over quite a few times.
Andy : What storylines are lined up for us avid viewers?
Chris Fountain : I can only say what's been in the press but Justin goes into a bit of demise once he finds out that his Dad killed himself. And he’s not a very nice person as it is, but when he finds that out he gets even worse and gets into quite a bit of trouble.
shell : did you find it hard acting out your latest storyline
sairs : was that a hard storyline to play?
Bha : Aww poor Justin
staceywebb : sounds like good watching
Chris Fountain : I didn't really find it hard because it's always nice to have a challenge. Some of it was hard though because I'm not into some of the stuff that Justin is doing.
Charlotte : If you could would you change roles with someone else?
stephie : which other hollyoaks character would u like to be and why?
Chris Fountain : I would be Lee because I think he's a really funny character. Craig too, he's really funny. Although Alex who plays Lee has it spot on so I wouldn't want him not to play it.
xxRachelxx : who do you admire the most in the set?
Chris Fountain : I admire them all because there are all there doing their job and they are all being someone different to themselves. I admire the runners the most actually because they are always fetching and carrying stuff and doing jobs that nobody likes.
Katy123xx : Are there any elements of justin's character that are similar to your character?
Chris Fountain : His cheekiness :)
Holly : dats my question 2!!!!!
Chris Fountain : Although I wouldn't say I'm as cheeky to other people, but I do like to see what I can get away with sometimes. Also his love of girls and sport.
stephie : do u get confused with the twins
Andy : the twins are.... hot!!! i can't really tell them apart but who cares?
x amy baby x : have you got a favourite twin?
Chris Fountain : No, never because I've worked with them for a year now. It's like having my real sisters around as we have spent so much time together. I sometimes get their names mixed up but I always know which is which - it's just because they have similar names.
gillx04x : which twin would u say is the most attractive???
Chris Fountain : I'm not going to answer that because they are both beautiful to me.
Sammie : What’s your favourite TV show??
Chris Fountain : It's probably The OC. I've only seen two episodes of it and I really like it so I might have to buy the DVD. It's a bit like an American version of Hollyoaks really.
Sammie : Where would your ideal holiday destination be? and can I come with you??
snoopy top : I love the oc
Dayna : good choice
lu : god seth is fit
Chris Fountain : If you're paying - yes! I'd love to go to New York, but then the best holiday I've been on is to Cancun in Mexico, when it's Spring Break and all the American girls go there!
lulu : what’s your fave food?
Marry me Chris! : What did you have for lunch?
Chris Fountain : Chicken Masala from Spicy Cottage in Bradford. Today I had curly Cumberland sausage and chips with onion gravy - it was nice as well!
hollyoaks junky! : does justin get a love interest?
Chris Fountain : I don't know, I hope so! It's not looking like it at the minute because he's not very nice.
Chris is well FIT!!! : What do ya think ya would be doing if u weren't in hollyoaks?
Chris Fountain : I'd be at dance college, but while I'm at Hollyoaks I'm going back to college to do a BTEC in Drama.
Holly : I’d like to become an actress, can you give me any tips on how to get started?
Chris Fountain : Get some acting classes and get yourself an agent because you can only do so much without one. Once you get your face known by casting directors then you will have a much better chance and more audition opportunities.
Villa Fan : how long do you want to stay in Hollyoaks for?
Sabah : would you want to work in any movies?
Chris Fountain : Until I am 19 hopefully and then I'll get an agent in London and then hopefully get some films in America and live in New York and become a film star!
lulu : what’s your fave film?
Chris Fountain : The Basketball Diaries and Orange County - that was good too.
Christina : How can a girl get you interested?
Chris Fountain laughs
Chris Fountain : Be a good dancer! I don't like girls that are shy and reserved so confidence is good and nice bodies.
Lil_Rach_Rocks : Ehey chris what the best part of being on hollyoaks
Chris Fountain : Stuff we get invited to - likes premieres, ballets, parties, football matches and I'm doing a job that I love and getting paid for it.
lulu : describe yourself in 3 words
Chris Fountain : Blonde, cheeky and mature.
Chat Ed : That’s it folks, our half hour is now up with Chris, say your goodbyes…
