Washington [US], March 12 (ANI): Actor Joshua Jackson recalled shooting for The Mighty Ducks films and working with Emilio Estevez on the latest episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show.
Brooke Shields guest-hosted the episode, and she asked the actor about what he learned from Estevez during their time in the beloved franchise.
“I was quite young. And I kind of learned how to be on set from Emilio because I didn’t know any of this stuff,” said Jackson, reported People.
He played Charlie Conway in the trilogy of films, beginning with 1992’s Mighty Ducks. Estevez played Gordon Bombay, a former youth hockey player who has to coach the team as community service.
He remembered how one day while shooting for 1994’s D2: Mighty Ducks, they filmed a game sequence in an arena full of people; he guessed around 20,000 fans were in attendance.
“And as I was coming off the ice, I don’t know why either I was being a little dick or I was tired or whatever but for some reason, there were a bunch of people waiting for autographs and I just blew past them to go to the locker room,” Jackson remembered. “And Emilio pulled me to the side and was like, ‘Don’t ever do that again.’ And I was like ‘What do you mean?’,” as per the outlet.
“‘Don’t ever, ever do that again. Why do you think you get to go out there and skate in front of all of these people? This is who keeps you employed. Do not ever forget who it is that you’re here for,’ ” Jackson remembered his co-star saying, reported People.
As per Shields, Estevez’s advice was “brilliant”. “My mom used to say, ‘Every person is one person.’ And that relationship is just between you and them, and you have to respect it,” said Shields.
Jackson said, “It was a really important reframing for my 15-year-old self [to be like], ‘Just remember who you are and what’s important.’ ”
The Mighty Ducks franchise also starred Kenan Thompson, Marguerite Moreau, Elden Henson and Jussie Smollett. Estevez reprised his role as Bombay in the first season of the 2021 Disney+ series Mighty Ducks: Game Changers, reported People.
Jackson currently stars in ‘Doctor Odyssey’ as Dr. Max Bankman. “It’s the first time in a very long time that I’m playing a pretty uncomplicated guy,” he said in September 2024. “He is a good doctor and a good man trying to figure out his life.”
“But really, what the show is, it’s not about heavy, dramatic backstory. It’s not about secret drug addiction or affairs. It’s a fun, sexy, beautiful, fast-paced Ryan Murphy fantasy,” he explained, according to People.
‘Doctor Odyssey’ airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. on Hulu. (ANI)
