FREAKY FRIDAY star CHAD MICHAEL MURRAY had a surprise companion at his bachelor party in Las Vegas earlier this year (05) - his then-fiancee SOPHIA BUSH.
The ONE TREE HILL co-stars exchanged nuptials in April (05), and before their trip down the aisle, Murray partied with pals in the gambling mecca.
But unlike most men waving goodbye to their bachelorhood, Murray decided he wanted his fiancee with him.
He says, "For my bachelor party, a bunch of us went to Vegas - including Soph. I'm so much happier with her than without her, so I brought her along.
"She taught me how to play craps, and I taught her how to play blackjack. It was a perfect bachelor party with my brothers and my best friends and my future wife."
So much in my life has changed since I started playing Lucas on One Tree Hill. The biggest thing is, I have Sophia now. She makes me be a better man -- and a little bit neater! -- and she’s a phenomenal best friend. If there’s one downside to my life, it’s a lack of privacy. People assume way too much s---, and I can’t stand it. The rumors… that’s the thing I hate. I know the truth, and my wife knows the truth. I don’t feel like I have to defend myself, but the truth is, I’m a pretty good guy. I love my wife and my family so much.
GOSSIP GUY
Yeah, I like to go out with my boys and have a good time. I’m 23 years old! I have a lot of friends, and they all like to go to clubs. I just sit back, have a few drinks and watch them pick up girls. But the next thing you know, there are 20 stories about me. If I go to a club and a female fan comes up and asks for a picture, all of a sudden [the media say I’m sleeping with] that girl.
So let’s clear some things up. Yeah, I went to a strip club in Toronto. We were there for the House of Wax press junket. It had been a long day, and Jared (Padalecki), Elisha (Cuthbert) and I wanted to go out. So our driver says, “Hey, I know this great place to sit back and have a drink. It’s called the Brass Rail.” I thought it was a whiskey bar. It just sounds like a tough-guy bar, you know? When we got there and I realized what it was, I called Sophia. I was like, “Baby, we tried to go to a whiskey bar, and we’re sitting at a strip club!” She thought it was funny.
Then Tyler (Hilton) of OTH and I were implicated in this mice massacre thing. (One gossip column) said we blow up mice on planes! Who writes this crap? I think everyone on my show had a laugh about that one. Tyler and I even made T-shirts. They have our mug shots across the front with the words “Wanted” and “Mice Massacre ’05.” On the back is a picture of a mouse strapped to a plane, and he’s wearing a helmet with fireworks attached. It’s hilarious.
(The rumors and the stories) are inappropriate on so many levels, but I guess that’s what sells. I don’t know if it will ever stop. All I need to know is, I have faith in myself and I know what’s really going on.
FEAR FACTOR
I’m not (big on flying), but I’ve had to fly, like, 30 times since January. I think my fear is a control issue. You don’t have any in that situation, and I think that’s what panics me. When I had to fly to Australia for House of Wax, I took a Xanax and conked out. I have to fly all the time now, so I try not to even think about it.
I used to be really obsessive. You couldn’t move anything in my room or I would freak out. I’ve learned to (be rational about) it. I still have some obsessive tendencies -- like I always wear the jewelry that Sophia gave me. I never take my cross off, even when I’m filming. I think Sophia has helped me grow in all areas of my life, including this one.
BACHELOR PARTIES AND WEDDING BELLS
For my bachelor party, a bunch of us went to Vegas -- including Soph. I’m so much happier with her than without her, so I brought her along. She taught me how to play craps, and I taught her how to play blackjack. It was a perfect bachelor party with my brothers and my best friends and my future wife.
The wedding itself could not have been more perfect either. It sounds hard to believe, but my wedding was the first wedding I had ever been to! Everyone told us they had a good time. Tyler played the song “Picture Perfect,” and we had phenomenal food. We sent out 188 invitations, and 185 people came. I’m told usually only half the people who are invited come, but my (OTH) costars, our families and our friends were all there. I had eight groomsmen, and my dog Joe was our ring bearer. We got him a little tux and a collar that said “best dog,” and the rings hung from it.
I helped with planning things like my wedding band. I didn’t want anything feminine and I don’t like gold, so we picked this platinum band with diamonds. It’s beautiful, and it will never leave my hand.
The only other thing I wanted was to incorporate a little piece of football in the wedding. I wanted to get Buffalo Bills cuff links, but Soph said no. Well, she wound up doing the sweetest thing ever. When we got to the reception, there was the wedding cake, which we had chosen together, and a groom’s cake. It was shaped like a Buffalo Bills helmet! The small gestures she makes make life so much better. I’d marry her every day if I could. Our honeymoon was only two days in Santa Barbara, but soon we’re going to have a long one. We’re going to disappear for about three weeks, get away, spend some time together and relax. That’s what we do when we’re in Wilmington (North Carolina, where OTH is shot). We take in dinner from this great service called Dinner2U. They’ll deliver from any restaurant in town for only five bucks. Usually we get sushi, watch Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, which she hooked me on, and play with the dogs. Ninety-nine percent of the time that’s our night, and I love it.
WHAT’S NEXT?
I hope to shoot (the movie) Stealing Cars, which is a phenomenal story about a guy who winds up in an institution that’s basically a prison. There’s a lot of gang violence, and the story is very gritty. It’s Good Will Hunting, if Will had gone to prison instead of therapy. I can’t wait to do it.
I don’t have the faintest idea where the story is going on Tree Hill this season, but it’s nice to get paid to do scenes with my wife! The only thing I’ll say is, I don’t want to take my shirt off six times in an episode. That’s where I draw the line. Ultimately, I just want to be respected for my work and have a normal life. Somewhere down the road, Sophia and I would like to have kids and buy a place in Buffalo, where I grew up. I want to do films on a consistent basis that I’m passionate about and that are a challenge. Even on Tree Hill, when the days are long, I’m going to push myself harder. In the end, it’s not about fame or fortune. It’s what you leave behind -- your work and your family -- that really counts.
