Oh, that sucks if you can't see the video outside Australia. It is also available through the Dolly Website (then click on Inside the Teen Choice Photoshoot) if it helps.

But I've also done some screencapping of the two videos for your viewing pleasure. Colouring is mine, not the video.

Thanks for the screen caps Jen!

I think I saw this magazine at the library the other day. If I see it again, I'll try and get some scans of it. :)

Axle Whitehead’s Teen Choice awards acceptance speech

Wednesday, June 9, 2010

From singing, presenting and pranking to putting on his serious actor pants as Liam Murphy on Home And Away, Axle Whitehead has done it all.

DOLLY: How does it feel to be a DOLLY Teen Choice award winner?

A: Absolutely wonderful! I hope I get one of the big novelty crowns DOLLY gives out. I’m very honoured and shocked. I’ve only been on Home and Away for a bit over a year so I feel very honoured to be at least nominated and then to win. Thankyou to all the voters and everyone who got behind it – I’m absolutely over the moon.

DOLLY: We received 12, 803 votes and we can reveal you beat Luke Mitchell by only four votes.

A: That’s right! Well we won’t tell Luke that. He’s had an incredible year winning a silver Logie. So to be working with him is awesome and quite amusing actually!

DOLLY: Why do you think people love a Summer Bay bad boy?

A: I think everyone has a bit of a bad boy in them. And sometimes we’re not allowed to show the bad boy and I think, sometimes the bad boy shows himself and often takes the rap for other people … but has a lot of fun doing it.

DOLLY: When you think of DOLLY, what does it remind you of?

A: I remember we used to sneak off and have a bit of a look, a bit of a perve as young boys. It represents fun and teen, spunk, fashion and lifestyle. Yeah a good place for readers to discuss things. You’ve got a great website as well. So yeah I think it’s a really great, positive mag.

DOLLY: What did you learn from DOLLY when you were younger?

A: What girls were going through and the pressures that go along with being a girl. There are so many great articles to promote things like self image.

DOLLY: What were you like as a teenager? Were you popular?

A: I was reasonably popular. I was in a country school, so everyone was sort of on the same level I suppose. Maybe 15 people in the class until I went to high school. I was a bit of a ratbag. I mean, we all grew up on farms so we would drive farm cars and light fires. I had a great childhood – I feel incredibly privileged to have grown up on the land. I was really amazed when I went to boarding school when I got to Year 8; I’d never seen a Playstation! We only had Channel 9 and ABC back home. So to see Channel 7 and 10 was just amazing. I think growing up on the land forces the kids to get out and experience nature and communicate with animals and really use your imagination.

DOLLY: What did you want to be when you grew up?

A: Well we used to do a lot of horse riding, a lot of cross-country stuff, so I wanted to go away and work with horses on farms. I wanted to go to far north Queensland to work on a cattle station. I went through a stage where I wanted to be a marine biologist as well. Then I auditioned for a music school when I left Year 12. I got in so I decided to become a full time muso … I haven’t ticked the box of becoming a farmer yet!

DOLLY: You’ve done a lot in your career – you sing, act and present – what’s next?

A: I’m very busy on Home And Away – learning scripts is a full time job in itself. I’m not quite sure what the future will present. I’m lucky to be on Home And Away at the moment, so I’ll just keep on trucking along here and see what opportunities create themselves. I think if you work hard, then opportunities present themselves.

DOLLY: What advice would you give to the readers who are interested in a career path like yours.

A: Really find out what you want to do. If you want to sing, if you want to act, or if you want to dance or if you want to present – there’s a lot of hard work that needs to get done. I suppose just to find out what you really enjoy doing and follow that. Do classes; play with other musicians if you play music. Join choirs, play as many instruments as you can. Make sure you’re doing it because you love doing it and not because you’re doing it for fame or for money or anything like that because it is a hard slog and as many musicians and actors and presenters there are in Australia, only five per cent are really working in the industry. You need to work on your confidence as well. I think that confidence is a big thing and if you’re struggling with that, then talk to friends and family or professionals and work through your issues so you can become confident and happy, because as a performer that shines.

DOLLY: What’s your favourite thing about girls?

A: A sense of humour.

DOLLY: What’s one thing you’ll never understand about girls?

A: How they’re attracted to guys.
