Big!-June 25th to July 8th 1997

                            Hanson: Wet Or Wild?

Are new pop lads Hanson big drips or wet, wild and wacky? We put them to the
                                    test

When was the last time you cried?
Taylor: Last time we did an interview! Do we cry at movies? No, we watch
action movies and we don't cry at Arnold Schwarzeneggar!
Isaac: I can't remember the last time I cried, I must have been really
young. I've never cried at a movie or at a TV show. I'm not a guy who cries
easily.
Zac: I'm a Hanson boy, I don't cry! You can't really cry at Twister or Total
Recall can you? - I only watch action films. I'm really looking forward to
that new Jurassic Park movie. I don't think I'll cry at that.

Have you ever trashed a hotel room?
Taylor: Yeah, but only because we are really messy. We never keep our rooms
clean. We leave clothes everywhere and our skates are always lying on the
floor. People always trip over them.
Isaac:We all share a room at home and it always looks like we've trashed it
even though we haven't - it's just messy. I'm trying to learn to be tidier,
but it's hard when you travel a lot because you live out of a suitcase.It's
nice to go home and leave things on the floor.
Zac: Nooo! Although the whole Hanson family went to the big Doc Marten shoe
store in London and we bought some boots. So everytime you come into our
hotel room all you can see is different coloured boots everywhere. It's
awesome.

Have you ever been thrown out of anywhere?
Taylor: Yeah, we were thrown out of a toy store recently. They had a display
of really bouncy balls and we were allowed to try them out. We ended up
bouncing them all over the shop and off the ceiling. All the store
assistants kept telling us to calm down. In the end we were asked to leave.
What did they expect us to do? Not throw the balls after they'd asked us to?

Isaac: Yep. A shopping mall in Oklahoma. We were messing around around with
some friends the day after we'd heard we were number one in America. There
were 10 of us talking and messing around when this security guard says to
us, 'You can't be in groups of more than four without an adult.' Then he
threw us out. We were so shocked.
Zac: I've been thrown out of places with the others, but never on my own. So
far we've never been thrown out of anywhere when people know we're Hanson -
it's only because we've been boys goofing around.

Have you ever broken a bone?
Taylor: I broke my arm about two years ago. I was going down this huge hill
on my bike to see a house my parents were going to buy. They were driving up
the hill as I was coming down and as I saw the car coming towards me I
braked and went straight over the handlebars. I lay in the road while my
parents rushed over and picked me up. I looked at my arm and it had just
snapped.
Isaac: No, but I did sprain my ankle a year ago. I was climbing a plum tree
and just fell out and tried to land on my feet. My ankle gave way and it
swelled up. The doctors thought it was broken, but it was just really badly
bruised. What was I doing in the tree? Hmm, I'm not too sure!
Zac: I broke my nose when we were throwing rocks off a see-saw. We put a
rock on one end and then jumped on the other - the rock would go flying
across the yard. I put the rock on and then Taylor whacked the other end
down and somehow uit hit me in the nose. There was blood everywhere.
Have you ever had a fight?
Isaac: Yeah, we wrestle all the time but we're just goofing around. Taylor
and I used to fight in the floor in our lounge. We'd pretend it was a real
fight but it wasn't. We don't do it now because we'd end up punching holes
in the wall and our mum would kill us.
Zac: No, but it felt like I was running away from a fight when we had to
escape from fans in Germany. We were on our rollerblades and there were a
huge amount of girls running towards us screaming. We turned a corner, saw
them and just turned around and started going back the way we'd come. It
wasn't because they were scary - there were just so many of them. I fell
over and grazed my arm because I was trying to go so fast on the skates. Did
they catch us? No, we were quicker.
Not outside of my family. I'm not into that, we're not very rock 'n' roll.
When we went to number one with Mmmbop, we didn't have a party or anything -
we went to LaserQuest. It's a huge pitch-black maze where you shoot each
other with laser guns. We spent hours and hours in there, it was awesome.

Do you like being chased by your fans?
Taylor: I get really embarassed. We were at McDonald's last week and we were
waiting to order our food. All of a sudden there was whispering going up and
down the line and people saying 'Hanson... Taylor'. No one said anything to
me, they just whispered and I was standing there. In the end I got my food
and ran out.
Isaac: When we went to Top of the Pops for the first time there were 60 fans
waiting foir us and screaming. We couldn't believe it because they all knew
our names and were yelling at us. We almost thought we had hit someone
because there were all these kids jumping in front of the van. I find that
really scary.
Zac: I find it weird when fans scream at us because they want to meet us.
When we actually go over and talk to them we say nothing. They just look at
us and go, 'Er, um.' That's weird.

If you were asked to wear see-through trousers on stage would you do it?
Isaac: No way. We don't do anything we feel uncomfortable with and that
would be really uncomfortable...
Taylor: Unless we liked them. If we don't like something we'll say no way
and put something else on. We have a stylist who buys our clothes but we're
always saying we don't like what she gives us.
Zac: See-through trousers? Are you mad? Are you kidding?
