Kyle's Nightmare ' “Oh Jesus. They will have the palest person in the world in a Speedo'


Oh Freddy how could you ? very easily it seems , but filming for Kyle who plays a high school swimmer in the new Nightmare on Elm Street was fraught with potential danger and we're not just talking about old finger Knives .

In a thrilling interview for Movieline Kyle spills on acting scared in a speedo ...

All right, so: Nightmare on Elm Street. At what point did it sink in for you, “Oh, I’m playing a high school swimmer, and I have to do my character’s centerpiece dream sequence in a Speedo?

[Laughs] When I read the script. I was like, “Oh Jesus. They will have the palest person in the world in a Speedo, with a color scheme that does not help out.”

It’s not the most flattering film anyway. All the actors have to look kind of tired and sleep-deprived throughout.

Yeah, but it’s kind of painful when you’re sitting there in a Speedo and there’s no way to heat up the water, so they’re dumping cold water on you and it’s 40 degrees and you’re in the middle of a dynamited-out steel factory, walking on shrapnel for nine hours.

Movieline then asks about Captain Jack who played the rather delectable Glen in the original Nightmare . But like a dog with bone returns to more ' acting in a speedo 'questioning...


That casting call also hinted at elements of your character that we don’t see, like he runs a school podcast and your character idolised the Captain of the swim team. Did that get deleted?

That was kind of in the original script, and then through rewrites, things changed. Some stuff was gotten rid of, like the podcast thing.

But the Speedo thing stayed in.

The Speedo thing stayed in. I was like, “No, really guys.” [Laughs]

Well you look awesome in it ...

Thanks man
