Exclusive 1:1 Interview with Chef star Emjay Anthony!

And the award for most adorable interview of the year goes to… this one! Not so much because of me (at all), but thanks to Emjay Anthony, the nine-year-old breakout star of Jon Favreau‘s CHEF. Anthony plays the son of famous chef Carl Casper (Favreau), who wants nothing more than to spend time with his perpetually too-busy father. The youngster handily steals every scene he’s in out from under the likes of Sofia Vergara, John Leguizamo and even Favreau himself.

As you’ll see in the video below, the kid isn’t just a good actor, he’s a charming and unexpectedly funny person. Watch as we speak about the adventures he went on during the film’s production, the amazing food he enjoyed (and continues to enjoy), working with his famous co-stars and the awesome vision he has for his future. (Seriously, it’s awesome.)
