“BATHING BEAUTIES”
(BIG! – September 22 1993)
While Baywatch’s David Charvet and Nicole Eggert were covering up in our Victorian bathing gear, we got them to reveal all about themselves.
David Charvet
Name: David Faranck (“it’s French”) Charvet
Born: May 15 1972 in Lyon, France
Lives: “Between Beverly Hills and West Hollywood.”
Family: “My father lives in New York. My morn and stepfather live in Los Angeles. I have five sisters and one brother. They are Irene, Tania, Debra, Daniel, and the fifth one is…oh my god, I can’t remember, ha ha, and the sixth is Gina. My brother wants to be an actor.”
Girlfriends: “I’m single. I’m not really on the lookout. I’m like, whatever comes my way. I think if you look, you don’t find. People sense you’re looking so it doesn’t help. I’m concentrating on my work right now.”
Hobbies: “I work on my house. I do construction, like building shelves and I built an office in my house too.”
Bedroom: “It overlooks the whole of Los Angeles. I’ve got a fireplace, a big bed, a library shelf. There s not too many things in it, I like it plain. Oh and there s a TV with remote control. I read a lot and watch old movies in bed.”
New projects: Dave and Nicole are in Britain promoting the RLSS/SEGA Lifeguard Potential Project which teaches water safety to kids. “I was delighted to get involved with this project. Anything that is helping kids is fine by me and water safety is really important.”
New movies: “I’m doing a boxing movie called Opposite Corners. I play a boxer. I can’t reveal who’ll be in it with me, but they’re very popular.”
Fave junk food: “Johnny Rockets burgers are my favourite. Don’t you have it here? It’s kind of a sixties looking burger bar.”
Happiest moments: (Yawns) “When I bought my house six weeks ago. It took me a year to find. I was looking for something and when I saw it I said ‘This is what I want’. I put the bid in straight away.”
Biggest regret: “Not learning more in school. I didn’t learn enough. I was always living for the moment. I missed out on a lot of things but I’m getting it back now. I read a lot of psychology and spiritual books.”
First kiss: “Second grade, I was about eight and her name was DJ. We were playing Truth Or Dare and someone dared me to kiss her. I was very nervous ‘cos I didn’t know what to expect. I really liked that girl a lot.”
Fave item of clothing: “I love suits and Levi jeans. I’ve got eight pairs.”
What makes you laugh? “Funny things, spontaneous things. My friend Hymie speaking. He doesn’t speak English very well and it cracks me up.”
Dream date: “Michelle Pfeiffer. She’s honest looking, bright, beautiful and she seems like a really nice person. There’s not too many great actresses, but she’s one of them. She’s not too obvious or revealing.”
What do you think of your outfit? “I wouldn’t have liked to wear really brief trunks, but this stuff is great. I love it.”
Nicole Eggert
Name: Nicole Elizabeth (“It’s a family name, my mom and her morn and her mom are all called Elizabeth too.”) Eggert
Born: January 13, 1972 in California
Family: “I have one sister, April who is 14. My mum’s here now. She’s from London. She went to America when she was 21 in 1969. Dad is from Germany. When I was very little they used to teach me German and English. But my father never kept it up with me and I totally lost it all.”
Lives: Los Angeles, in the Hollywood hills. “It can be rough in Hollywood but where I live is okay.”
Boyfriend: “Yes, he’s over there in that chair (points at an ultra cool guy slumped on a nearby sofa, dressed in a Moschino roll brim hat and casual gear). His name is Eric. Right now he’s into modelling. I met him in L.A. at a party. It wasn’t love at first sight. It’s taken a long time. We’ve been seeing each other for a year, but we weren’t able to get serious until four or five months ago. So I’m real happy now.”
Hobbies: “My boyfriend has a house at Malibu beach so we hang out there a lot. We go to the movies. Once in a while we go clubbing. There’s no real clubs happening at the moment. We go to the Roxbury sometimes. Anybody who’s in town who’s a celebrity goes there. I’ve met the Beverly Hills crowd there.”
Fave junk food: “I love so much junk food. But my favourite is a Big Mac and fries. I just drink water with it.”
Fave beach wear: “I like shorts, cut off levis with a bathing suit.”
Happiest moment: “God, I hope it hasn’t happened yet. Er, so far? I’ll have to think about that…I don’t know.”
Earliest memory: “I think it was when I saw a poster of a little kid in a high chair with a diaper tipping spaghetti over its head. I went home sat on a high chair and dumped a bowl of spaghetti on my head!”
First kiss: “1 was fifth grade. I was 11. No, I had to be older. Maybe 12 or 13 He was a boy I went to school with. It was disgusting. I kissed him on the beach.
Fave item of clothing: “My Levis. I have this picture of me as a little girl with bell bottom Levis with flowers going down the side. Yes! And I have white blonde hair parted in the middle, ha ha! Big fat face and…”
What makes you laugh? “My friend Hymie is the funniest guy you’ll ever meet. I like Roseanne Barr too.”
Who would be your dream date? “Apart from my boyfriend…Keanu Reeves cos he’s so beautiful. I’ve never met him but I’d like to.”
Did you go out with Marky Mark? “Not really…I did see him for about four months, but it wasn’t…he was fun to go out with. But he lives in Boston and I live in Los Angeles so I only saw him when he came to town. I dumped him ha ha! No, not really. I met my boyfriend and it ended.”
Did you like these outfits? “They are really neat. I love them.”
