Chad Michael Murray on learning to dance for the Netflix stripping movie 'The Merry Gentlemen' and reuniting with Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis for 'Freakier Friday.'
“Stripping isn’t typically the first thing we think of when we think of Christmas,” says Chad Michael Murray., Murray, and his abs are hoping there’s some wiggle room in your Christmas expectations with the new movie “The Merry Gentlemen,” out Nov. 20 — and yes, it’s a bit of a stripper Christmas movie. The movie follows a dancer who gets cut from her company in the big city and returns home to her small town, only to find that her parents’ local performing arts venue is at risk of being closed.
Aside from the appeal of a challenge, Murray, who is 43, liked the idea of working on an escapist movie that made people feel good. “I really started to sharpen my teeth on film, and take chances. I was terrified. When you’re out there in the middle of a neighborhood and people are watching and you’re just singing ‘Hit Me Baby One More Time’ as God awfully as you can in front of everybody, it’s a moment,” he says. “So it was weird. You walk on set and to a certain degree it felt like no time had passed. And yet we all had lives in between there.
While he worries his “blood has thinned” a bit from his many years in California, the excitement about the Bills will likely propel him through.
