Andrew Walker’s Latest Hallmark Role Is A ‘Douchebag’ Character
Perennial Hallmark Golden Retriever Andrew Walker is starring with Ashley Williams in the Countdown To Christmas movie Jingle Bell Run. However, he has to warn fans that he is not playing a nice guy in this romcom. One person even pointed out that he portrays a “douchebag” in this movie.
However, the Three Wise Men And A Baby star insists that fans still watch. What did he recently reveal?
Andrew Walker Plays A Retired Douchebag Hockey Player In Jingle Bell Run
Andrew Walker and Ashley Williams star in the romantic Christmas comedy Jingle Bell Run. She portrays Avery, a teacher who, unbeknownst to her, is signed up to compete in an Amazing Race-sort of holiday competition. Andrew portrays Wes. He is a newly-retired NHL superstar. He needs to do this gig to keep himself relevant and help propel himself to an equally high-profile new gig.
But, according to his interview with Heavy, Andrew revealed that some fans that saw this movie on the first Hallmark cruise told him that his character was a “douchebag.” But, it was not a bad thing.
Andrew laughed as he revealed, “I got a lot of messages saying that people really enjoyed the “douchebag Andrew Walker. I’m essentially a good guy, I’ve just lost myself a bit.”
He continued on how this role was a bit of a challenge. “It’s tough, I don’t have one ounce of douchebag in me. Not an ounce!”
However, the Curious Caterer star admits that once upon a time, he may have been a bit of a challenge. “I mean, look, when I was a little younger, in my football days, I could have come across as–you know, there’s a fine line between cocky and confident. You gotta have a little bit of that.”
For this Countdown To Christmas role, he used his previous sports experience. “Football–and hockey, for that matter–are physical sports. You gotta be extremely confident in your abilities, and the minute you lose confidence is when you could get hurt. So I just tapped into that younger version of myself.”
Andrew Walker And Ashley Williams Improvise In Hallmark’s Jingle Bell Run
In this new interview, Hallmark Hunk Andrew Walker shared more information about his upcoming movie with Ashley Williams. The two did some improv. Williams, who was a recurring star in How I Met Your Mother, was able to use her comedic chops. Therefore, this holiday movie should be loads of fun. She lives near Andrew, and they are really good friends IRL.
