“Extra” – on the set of “Dallas” (Video)
The TV show Extra aired a feature on the set of Dallas, with cast interviews. Watch the video below or click here.
“Extra” host Maria Menounos went on an exclusive set tour of the new “Dallas” TV reboot where she sat down with its star, Larry Hagman, to talk about reprising his role as baddie J.R. Ewing, and about his battle against prostate cancer.
“I feel good,” said the 80-year-old star. “I haven’t started my therapy yet, but it’s treatable and curable. I’m going to try to work through the whole thing and keep working during the therapy.”
Hagman said he has become a vegetarian, too. “I’ve lost about six pounds already in about eight days.”
The TV star is excited to play the patriarch of a new brood of Ewings. “For one thing, I’m working at 80, which is good,” Hagman laughed.
Will J.R. still be cunning and evil? “I’d like to think I would be, yes. Everyone in the world, whether they’re Chinese or English or Turkish or African, they all have a jerk like J.R. in their family somewhere. That’s the way it works.”
Hagman is also joined by original cast members Patrick Duffy as Bobby Ewing, and Linda Gray as Sue Ellen Ewing. Duffy said returning to the “Dallas” set was like “living your life in the rear-view mirror.”
Duffy said that being with his old friends has been wonderful. “From the first table reading of Dallas in 1978, we all walked into the room for the first time and became the best of friends.”
As for the new, younger cast, actor Josh Henderson will play John Ross, son of J.R. and Sue Ellen, and Jesse Metcalfe will portray Bobby’s adopted son Christopher.
“We’re kind of carrying the torch, the younger generation,” said Metcalfe. Henderson added, “It’s drama. It’s sexy. It’s passionate.”

He might have one of the best bodies in the business, but that’s not all there is to Jesse Metcalfe.
Yes, in his five years as the sexy gardener on Desperate Housewives he shared his naked torso with women around the world.
But, he insists, there is more to him than meets the eye.
“There is definitely more to me than my physical appearance,” he insists. “But I have to embrace it. It’s not the worst thing in the world, having that sex symbol status.
“You need to have a bit of a sense of humour about yourself, though – I get asked to take my top off on a daily basis.”
So what do his fans actually say, and is he ever tempted? Continue reading Jesse Metcalfe interview with Mirror UK + Josh Baskin Photoshoot
