Taking a break between scenes, Blue Bloods’ Donnie Wahlberg places two smartphones within easy reach. The onetime teen heartthrob is so connected to social media that instead of watching his hit cop show on Fridays at 10, he reads real-time Tweets to gauge what viewers like or don’t. Happily for the actor who plays Det. Danny Reagan, the “likes” win — Blue Bloods and Wahlberg rule the night.
His fans are a large, loyal bunch. Long devoted to him from his boy-band days in New Kids on the Block (now reunited as NKOTB), they inundate the show’s Brooklyn set with inspirational books, photo collages and vintage action figures. Many have even followed their hero to his CBS series. “Every day we’re on a stage, [his fans] know where we’re shooting,” says Tom Selleck, who plays patriarch Frank Reagan. “They hang out all day. Donnie will go over and talk with them — he’s good that way.”
Last summer, the Houston Press reported (with embarrassing yet unapologetic enthusiasm) on ’80s pop sensations the New Kids on the Block. The ’80s boy-band was co-headlining an arena tour with their ’90s incarnates, the Backstreet Boys.
This year, however, brings less boy-band baggage — no New Kids, no Backstreet Boys (phew); just NKOTB heartthrob Jordan Knight. The group’s former lead singer is currently embarked on a national tour in support of his sophomore solo album, Unfinished.
Rocks Off chatted with Knight about Unfinished, its recording and the tourduring some downtime.
Ce soir, jeudi 23 février, M6 diffusera de nouveaux épisodes de la saison 1 de la très bonne série Blue Bloods. Aux commandes de cette fiction policière, on retrouve le moustachu Tom Selleck, qui joue le patriarche de la famille Reagan dans laquelle les hommes font régner la loi de père en fils.
Au côté du grand Tom Selleck, les téléspectateurs peuvent aussi découvrir Donnie Wahlberg, le grand frère de Mark Wahlberg, un homme aux deux visages, dont le Parisien fait aujourd’hui un portrait.
D’un côté, il y a Donnie Wahlberg l’acteur, qui incarne dans la série un inspecteur de police aux méthodes peu orthodoxes. Charismatique et sans limite, il fait tout pour défendre les New-Yorkais. De l’autre, il y a le chanteur, membre du groupe mythique des New Kids on the Block.
