So, back to “Celebrity Adrenaline Junkie”… We have a poll on Feltbeats.com right now asking which stunt fans would most like to see; so far, everyone wants to see what you do with the Ostrich!
Tom: Aww, I won’t lie, that was definitely the funniest. I have to warn you now, though, it was quite explicit!

I was actually going to ask you that. I was pretty, you know, shocked by Elijah’s language on the show…
Tom: Yeah, well this happens. The thing is, I want to explain, you can’t remember what you say out there. You wig out, and you get in a weird state of mind. And you complete forget the cameras are on you.

But, I don’t remember what I said, and there’s no point in asking me, either. I’m a little bit nervous about what I said up there. Actually, Jade and I watched a small cut of the bungee jump and it wasn’t too bad. There were a few lewd comments. But it seemed mostly above the belt, to be fair.

What was the scariest thing you did?
Tom: Bungee jump, no doubt. It was terrifying. I’ve never been more scared in my life.

How was the feeling afterwards?
Tom: Amazing! I’ve never felt higher in my life! It was a complete up and down!

But yeah, I was well and truly pressurized in the best way possible. People were just behind me all the way, saying, “You have to do it! You have to do it!” And I was sort of, “ugh.” Even the second before I did it, I said to myself, “I don’t want to do this.”

But yeah, obviously, the moment you go off that bridge, it was all good. And should be rather amusing to see on TV, I think, because I was genuinely [crapping] myself. I don’t know how you want to edit that!

Now, imagine for a moment that Draco Malfoy was involved in this project in your place. What do you think he’d do if Jack Osbourne told him to bungee jump off a cliff?
Tom: Dare I say, he’d tell him to [bugger] off or something along that nature? I can’t see him being persuaded the same way I was, at all.

Now, if the wand was in hand, it wouldn’t be much of a challenge there, would it? I could see Jack going over the bridge without any bungee attached, if that was the game.

Jack [Osborne] has discussed his desire for this show to be a catalyst for participants to learn more about themselves and make changes in their lives. What did you learn about yourself, and what impact did the show have on your life?

Tom: Yeah, completely! Completely. When I was out there I felt that a lot. I have to admit, though, I was a bit disappointed that we were staying in a hotel. It was all very plush and very nice. And after every event we did we went back to the hotel.

I was sort of half expecting, you know, to get the old guitar out, sit ’round the old camp fire, sing a few cumbayas, and really find myself. And that doesn’t really happen in a hotel! So, I have to admit, I didn’t really feel like I “discovered myself,” if you will, doing that.

By the same token, I really felt like, you know, sitting at home watching TV is not the way to be living life when you can be out doing all this crazy stuff.

But, in saying that, I haven’t really done anything extreme since coming home. You can perhaps call it a revelation, if you will, rather than a life-changing moment.

Do you go anywhere without a guitar?!
Tom: Not really. I’ve been to a few places recently without it. But I mean, bar that, no. I’ve a little three-quarter sized guitar, a little blue one, and they let me have that on hand luggage, so I like carrying it with me.
