Mtv: Ashley Greene Explains Why She Doesn't Skate In "Skateland"

Svensk �vers�ttning efter videon.

Even if "Skateland," the Anthony Burns-directed drama starring "Twilight" actress Ashley Greene, isn't entirely about skating, it's a sure bet that you will see certain actors skating over the course of the movie. Just don't expect to see Greene, who plays leading lady Michelle Burkham, strap any wheels on her feet.



"I don't [skate] actually, which is probably a good thing," she confessed to MTV News at South by Southwest. "I used to rollerblade, but the four-wheel roller-skate thing is a whole different experience."

According to the actress, Greene wasn't unwilling to skate in the film, but her early experiences as a clumsy child made her nervous to get into the rink.

"I'm pretty coordinated, but I'm a little terrified of falling and breaking things," she said. "I was a pretty clumsy child, so I'm always very aware that I'm a little bit accident-prone. But I wouldn't have minded jumping on some skates."

Although skating was off the table, Greene was able to fully embrace another important aspect of "Skateland" � the 1980s setting. Born in 1987, Greene admitted to having a limited connection to the decade, but filming "Skateland" opened her eyes to the time period.

"It was actually really fun," she said. "I didn't really get to experience the '80s except as a 1-year-old, so it was really cool to be able to go back and learn a lot about it. And the music � Michelle, my character, is really into bands like the Smiths and the Cure and stuff like that, so I actually did get to learn a lot while doing this."

�ven om "Skateland," Anthony Burns-regisserade drama med "Twilight" sk�despelerskan Ashley Greene, inte �r helt p� skridskor, s� �r det ett s�kert kort att ni f�r se vissa akt�rer �ka skridskor under loppet av filmen. F�rv�nta er bara inte att se Greene, som spelar huvudrollen Michelle Burkham, att s�tta p� sig n�gra hjul p� f�tterna.
Jag �ker inte skridskor faktiskt, vilket �r sannolikt en god sak, erk�nde hon f�r  MTV News at South by Southwest. "Jag brukade �ka Rollerblades, men fyra hjuls rullskridskon �r en helt annan upplevelse."

Enligt sk�despelerskan var Greene inte ovillig att �ka skridskor i filmen, men hennes tidigare erfarenheter som ett klumpig barn gjorde henne nerv�s f�r komma in p� banan.

"Jag �r ganska samordnad, men jag �r lite r�dd f�r att falla och bryta saker, s�ger hon. "Jag var ett ganska klumpig barn, s� jag �r alltid mycket medveten om att jag �r lite olycksdrabbad. Men jag skulle inte ha n�got emot att hoppa p� n�gra skridskor."

�ven skridskor var borta fr�n bordet, s� hade Greene m�jlighet att omfamna en annan viktig aspekt av "Skateland" - 1980-talets inst�llningen. F�dd 1987, erk�nde Greene att hon har en begr�nsad anslutning till �rtionde, men genom att spela in "Skateland" �ppnades �gonen f�r den tidsperiod.

"Det var faktiskt riktigt kul, sade hon. "Jag kunde inte riktigt uppleva 80-talet som en 1-�ring, s� det var verkligen h�ftigt att kunna g� tillbaka och l�ra sig mycket om det. Och musiken - Michelle, min karakt�r, gillar verkligen band som The Smiths och Cure och s�nt, s� jag fick faktiskt l�ra mig mycket medan jag gjorde det h�r. "
