EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW.
Jake Pavelka, the former star on The Bachelor, Dancing with the Stars and Drop Dead Diva, told CelebMagnet exclusively that he is filming several episodes of The Bold And The Beautiful in a recurring role of the pilot which he debuted earlier this month.
Pavelka, who is a commercial pilot in real life says, “I play a pilot and what’s ironic is that it’s harder to play a pilot than to be a pilot!”
On B&TB, Pavelka will be playing the Forrester family pilot and was offered the role in part because producer Brad Bell flies planes as well. “Bell is a pilot and we have a lot in common.”
Don’t think for a second that his acting career will put an end to Pavelka’s flying days. He also told CelebMagnet that he is hard at work preparing for an aerobatic air show! He has buddied up with owner Rich Perkins and training in Livermore, CA. Perkins, who used to fly the U-2 and was a senior flier of the T-38, and Pavelka are training for a two-ship air show which will debut shortly.
As for his love life, Pavelka is still dating Meghan Jones who is a wedding planner in Dallas, TX and tells me, “Things are going great.” Pavelka was only too proud to show off phone pics of Meghan’s booth at the Dallas Bridal Show taking place this weekend.
What else is in store for Pavelka? He is looking to buy a home in Los Angeles and making this city his permanent home since it looks like his acting career is starting to take off…congrats on all fronts Jake!
When and where are the airshows?
