D.A. loves Jonathan Taylor Thomas so much, we fight over who gets to interview him. He teases us and bags on us and makes us laugh so hard, we never want to leave.
We were excited to hear he’s starring in his first live-action movie, Man of the House. (Yes, we told you in the December 1994 issue it was called Pals Forever, but the studio changed the title.) Farrah Fawcett plays his mom, and her husband-to-be is played by Chevy Chase. JTT tries everything in his power to keep his mom from marrying Chevy, including making Chevy join the Indian Guides with him.

D.A.: OK, think back to last summer when you were making Man of the House. We know you worked a lot, but we’re sure you found time for your favorite pastime, fishing.
JTT: Yeah, the movie crew flew us over to Vancouver Island to go fishing. We went salmon fishing five times. I caught 15 fish—but I try to throw them back if possible.
D.A.: What else did you do in your spare time?
JTT: There were other kids in the movie—Spencer Vrooman, Zachary Browne and Chris Miranda—who played Indian Guides. We played roller hockey, baseball, basketball. We had a blast.
D.A.: Did you do any training for the movie?
JTT: On weekends we had lessons in shooting with a bow and arrow, and throwing a tomahawk. It took a lot of skill, but it was fun.
D.A.: We heard you saw bears in the wild. Were you scared?
JTT: No, they’re really beautiful. You just have to respect their territory. There was a baby wolf in the movie that was being controlled by an animal trainer. It was the cutest thing.
D.A.: Did you have to perform any stunts?
JTT: I had to carry 10,000 bees in the movie! I guess you could call that a stunt.
D.A.: No way! Really?
JTT: They were on a beehive, and I had to carry it. They were all over my hands, in my ears, on my nose. I wasn’t scared. I met with the world’s foremost bee expert before I did it. He told me everything I needed to know, so I was comfortable going into it. Ten thousand bees, and I didn’t get stung one time!
