Trent: Firstly how did you actually get to become Gypsy?
Kim Cooper: Umm I got to become gypsy by going for an audition and i basically yeah just went for an audition and ruined it completely ...
...as you do...
...as you do ahh walked out of there crying saying that i was going to give up acting umm then ended up getting the part somehow that's basically it.
Did you go out and celebrate?
oh for about a week yeah.
cool. So do you like gypsy as a person and are you anything like her?
I love gypsy as a person she speaks her mind and umm she's very funny she's got good comedy timing I think nothing to do with me of course you know its all the script writers umm ahh yeah I guess I am slightly like her in the way umm yes I do say exactly what I am thinking at the time which sometimes gets me into trouble as well but ahh not so much on the umm she's very pretty and very girly and I'm really not.
How has home and away impacted your life?
Its quite full on. its umm very strange and kinda surreal to walk around with people just coming up to you going "hey aren't you Gypsy?" and I'm going no I'm pretty sure I'm Kim oh no wait I am ahh.
Well that brings me to this, has there ever been an incident with a fan that really has distressed you and how do you deal with your privacy being invaded?
Umm oh well I mean there is always a person in a group of people, like normally groups of people are nice but there is always one person that wants to go yeah but you know home and away sucks and , and, we don't like you any way and rar rar and you just turn around and go mate shut up because I've had a gut full of you , you turn into Alf...
.. yeah a bit of Alf...
..you tell em to flamin' rake off. Or other words you know..
I was looking around on the web and there is this one site by a British guy called Michael Birtwistle and it is totally devoted to you. Does this flatter or does this freak you out?
umm it flatters me it slightly freaks me out just for the fact of why, like its only me umm a little girl from Cleveland ahh.
..because it is a pretty full on site..
...yeah...
Ok your in Noosa supporting the beach party to raise funds for the youth Pulse Cafe..
...yep...
We all know about that ahh at the Noosa Shire there is no night time entertainment for the youth of Noosa and many turned to roaming the streets and binge drinking..
..ahh...
...as you do umm...
... ha ha ha apparently ...
...ha ha but what was it like for you as a teenager growing up in Cleveland and was it in any way similar to Noosa?
Probably. Well Cleveland is a pretty small town when it comes to the locals and ahh everybody knows everybody so ahh we used to have a lot of parties and get into trouble that way ha ha it wasn't so much the roaming of the streets but the roaming of the houses. And whose parents were away that night we'd go over there and things like that...
Well what's in store for after home and away? do you have any plans?
umm none such as yet, hopefully be employed, that would be nice, umm there is a lot of American movies coming out here now which is good for Australian acting cause like last year 3% of actors in Australia were working and now that there are more and more American films its kinda good
So have you gone for any auditions for any movies?
Oh I can't do that yet
