Lorenzo Lamas Interview with Dr Susan Block

Full transcript of Lorenzo Lamas Interview with Dr Susan Block on The Dr. Susan Block Show:

So, here I am at the Hollywood show, I'm Dr. Susan Block and I'm with Lorenzo Lamas. How are you? Well, I'm doing great. I'm so excited to be here standing with you and you know, it's kind of a slow day-to-day

but there's been a lot of fans and how have you enjoyed it? You missed a huge crowd that was around my table just a few minutes ago. They've all run off to see Jenna Jamison. Ah, okay.

Yes, this is where we have the memories and there is where we have the memories. That's good. I mean, have you been to the Hollywood show? You participated?

Yeah, I've done, I think I've done one, maybe two of these but this is a brand new location. So that's what's kind of exciting about doing it again. You mean the Lowe's Hotel? Yeah, yeah, the Kodak Theatre, you know, you've got all those folks coming out

from Minnesota and you know, they want to check out the Hollywood celebrities and stuff like that. And what do you think about there being an adult wing now to the Hollywood show? I mean, Hollywood show has gone for 30 years and there's been a smattering of adult performers

but now there's a whole wing. Yeah, I missed that wing. I just go walk right by that wing like this. I don't want to see an ex-wife or something.

Or ex-girlfriend. Or that. Yeah, either one. Yeah, I know you dated a playmate, right?

This is a history lesson that we're not going to have right now. Okay. Okay, but what is your philosophy of sex and love? It's nice when they go together.

It's the best. And what puts them together? How can they go together? In my opinion, it's communication, right?

And common interests. So, I mean, not that you aren't still, but you were a major sex symbol in a few years ago. And did you get some interesting propositions? Not really.

It was because I think that when you're young and you're engaged in the opposite sex, a lot is basically unspoken. Like you'll see somebody, you'll have a connection, and then one thing leads to another. I think it takes a lot more cerebral foreplay to have something substantial in the bedroom when you get older.

And that's what ends up keeping people together. I think is the cerebral part of that. Stuff between your ears, not just between your legs. But how about acting itself and the whole process of making movies?

Is that an aphrodisiac? It can be. It can also be a nightmare, depending on the production company and who you have pulling the strings and calling the shots. I've been very lucky over the course of my career.

I've worked with really exceptionally talented people production-wise. But I've also done some productions where you're wondering who planned the schedule this way. We've got four company moves and one day it's ridiculous. It really is a crapshoot.

Being successful in the business takes so many amazing things to happen, almost like a miracle. Once you've been given the opportunity to do your thing, you have to have the talent and the ability and the confidence to sell your story and to be convincing. Somebody told me a long time ago, acting is not acting, it's reacting. Yes, that's a sort of a Stanislavski thing.

Yeah, you kind of don't wait for the person to stop talking to say your line. You actually listen to what they're saying, take that moment. That's a key when you're using one microphone also. Unless you want to double up on it.

I want to just look at a couple of your pictures here because a friend of ours who happens to be in the adult wing, Luke Wilder, was told that he looked a lot like you. And he considered that a huge compliment, of course. In both of your days. So I think it must have been this picture.

Here he is, Luke Wilder on a good day. No, it's really Lorenzo Lamas. Yeah, such a hunk. Wow.

This picture is from a very serious emotion picture that I did called My Life as a Shirtless Firefighter. No, that's from the Bold and the Beautiful. Oh yes, the Bold and the Beautiful. Well, that's kind of like emotional porn I always consider.

And if you notice, my picture is some I have body hair and some I don't. So you can tell like what era we're in. For example, in the 80s, body hair was popular. So I had much body hair.

And then in the 90s, over here, you'll notice that I'm trimmed. And I think now in the new millennium, I think body hair is making a comeback. And for women too, I mean not on their chest. Right, just in the right place.

So which do you find sexier? In the right place. In the right place. And famous words by Lorenzo Lamas.

Thank you so much for joining us on the Dr. Susan Block Show. No, thank you. Glad you stopped by. Okay, have a great show.
