Asher Book with Fans In PA

The Studs of V Factory Back Stage

Asher Talking With Fans

I love Madonna! She’s on our label, and I remember we got a sneak peek of her last video for “4 Minutes.” We felt all special because the label was like, “The public hasn’t seen the video yet, but you’re getting a first peek at it. We were in one of the big offices, and we saw it. Madonna is incredible, and I’ve always looked up to her for sure. Honestly, I’ve never seen her live. Seeing her videos was what did it. There are so many classics like “Like a Virgin.” I like how she doesn’t hold back. She just goes for it. That’s what a lot of people love about her. Her personality is incredible. She’s such a superstar in her own mind that she can just go for it. That’s what I love about her. I’ve always been a fan. There was never one moment where I was like, “Oh this is what did it for me!” I’ve loved pretty much everything she’s done. I love her mystique. She always knew what she was going for and she just went for it. She’s great in interviews too. I’ve always liked that about her.

Here is a recent press release from the Associated Press with some great quotes from Asher:

Asher Book has revealed how grateful he is to be working in showbiz.

The 21-year-old, who plays aspiring singer Marco in the new Fame movie, is aware of showbiz being a fickle industry but said he’d never take fame for granted.”I think you lose grasp of what fame really is because I think you feel much more gratitude and it’s a more humbling experience when you finally achieve it after years of working at it and getting to that point,“ he said.

“Why have we been in this business since five, six years old? It’s what we love to do, so getting to a point where we get to do this, to do interviews and flying to different countries and do crazy stuff, yes it’s hard work but it’s so enjoyable because we can say, ‘Wow, look how far we’ve come.’ You know?”

Asher has experienced how tough the business can be – he was rejected for the role in the Fame remake, before he was hired again.

“Yeah, I was more or less fighting for this role for about six months,” he said.

“At one point I was told I hadn’t got in, so I was pretty much heartbroken at that point. You just have to go all out with all your heart because you never know [what's going to happen]. Everything can turn around, so you just have to have faith.”
