Kiefer Sutherland's Bambi upset
Monday, 23 March 2009
Kiefer Sutherland "felt really strongly" about 'Bambi'.
The actor - best known for his role as action hero Jack Bauer in US TV series '24' - says despite his macho image he always gets emotional when he thinks about the 1942 Disney film featuring an orphaned deer.
Kiefer, 42, said: "I remember seeing 'Bambi' as a kid, and I just felt really strongly about that deer. It moved me so much. When the mother got killed and all that.
"Bambi really had the struggle of growing up. I guess I saw that movie at seven or eight. 'Cinderella' was more designed for my sister to enjoy. But as a guy, I felt OK about really feeling for that little animal."
Kiefer's sympathy towards cartoon characters has been inherited by his 21-year-old daughter Sarah Jude - from his first marriage to Camelia Kath.
He added to the Chicago Sun Times newspaper: "When Sarah was little, 'Winnie The Pooh' was just on a constant cycle. She used to sit and watch the movie over and over again.
"She was the reason I actually started to think that TV was interactive because Sarah would watch 'Winnie The Pooh' and try to warn Piglet to slow down because if he kept running he was going to fall into the hole.
"And Piglet would fall into the hole each time. My daughter would say to the TV, 'I told you to slow down.' She would have these unbelievable conversations with the movies."
