Wentworth in Japanese Magazine, In Red

Thanks to an anonymous email, we have something new! Looks like Wentworth was featured in this Japanese magazine called "In Red". Anon, I tried to email you back to say thanks but the message was undeliverable =( But since you know who you are, kind soul, many thanks for this treat! Because I have no idea what this is saying, I used Google translation then paraphrased so it would make a little sense!


The article starts of talking about Prison break being a number rental in 2007 (I'm assuming they mean in Japan). Wentworth is called clean-cut. Don't know what the rest was saying lol! Didn't make sense & I doubt there was any real news here, so moving on...

Next we read that U.S. drama 'Prison Break's main main character, Michael Scofield, is played by Wentworth Miller who, with his the chiseled good looks, gained stardom in a matter of seconds all over the world because of his charismatic presence. The writer says that since PB has reached its final season & something about a long-awaited first visit to Japan, s/he realized PB's popularity in Japan. S/he calls Went "a pleasant-spoken intellectual". Wentworth recalled his 4 years w/PB.

Went talks about working long hours and having to learn a lot in a short time. He says that b/c of the show's popularity, he got to visit many different countries and as the "face" of PB, it was his great responsibility to do this. He talks about how his father told him (really paraphrasing here, trying to make sense of this) that when there is a race to be won, one should run full speed to the end. He says he's worked with that motto in mind.

Wentworth starts talking about the end of the show & how it's time to stop running & escaping from prison, rather it's time to fight back. He says Michael has come to terms with the wrongs he's done & is prepared to suffer. He has to redeem himself. Then he starts talking about the MiSa thing... I'm not quite sure what this was saying but I think he said he wanted his character to have fun with their relationship at the end.

The next part really makes absolutely NO sense to me - sorry... The question he was asked seems to have been something about women at different stages in their lives: 20 years old, 30, 40. It says he laughed then answered seriously. He says he's 36 now then says something about "his" 20 being different than their 20. Then something about most people come into their own at 30 years old but he has a lot to learn. He starts talking about how people think he should be better in certain situations or that he should be further along in life. He wasn't a star in his 20's, becoming Michael Scofield in his 30's, but he's true to himself. He says he's happy with this b/c he's learned a lot in Hollywood.

I'm sure I botched that all up so don't quote me on this at all! Anybody wanna translate an article in Japanese, please let me know!
