Q&A: Garrett Hedlund 'On the Road,' on Illegal Drugs, Getting Naked and Twihards

IFC Films

Garrett Hedlund is many things: the leading man in the rebooted sci-fi franchise "TRON", a honky-tonk love interest in "Country Strong" and "Georgia Rule," and now an indie wild child, playing Dean in the long-awaited film adaptation of "On the Road."

Hedlund's path to "On the Road" wasn't an easy one: He's been attached to the project for five years, and the movie has been in Hollywood purgatory for even longer, with a paper trail leading back to the 1950s, when author Jack Kerouac first floated the idea of an adaptation of his novel. This Friday, U.S. audiences will finally get the chance to see this new side of him (and, as a bonus, they'll get to see his naked side).

Hedlund caught up with NextMovie in New York ahead of the film's release, and talked "Twilight," getting intimate with Steve Buscemi, and how, exactly, to crack open a Benzadrine inhaler. Get More »

It's been thirty years in the making, but Walter Salles' film adaptation of Jack Kerouac's iconic novel, "On the Road" is finally (almost) here. In anticipation of this Cannes favorite (where it premiered earlier this spring), a brand new trailer has surfaced that gives us the most in-depth preview of the star-studded film yet.

Like the book, the movie follows Sal Paradise (a character played by Sam Riley and based on Kerouac himself), Dean Moriarty (Garrett Hedlund) and Dean's 16-year-old bride, Marylou (Kristen Stewart) as they set off on a cross-country road trip from New York to California in search of their version of the American dream, which seems to involve dancing, hitchhiking and disappointing their parents.
