JASON SCHWARTZMAN - SCHWARTZMAN'S ENGLISH DREAM

SCHWARTZMAN'S ENGLISH DREAM

Actor/musician JASON SCHWARTZMAN loves visiting England because the country is steeped in rock 'n' roll history. The Darjeeling Limited star has a keen interest in rock music, having drummed for rock band Phantom Planet. He now has his own solo act called Coconut Records. And Schwartzman is convinced every part of London has a story attached to the country's most famous musicians. He says, "Everywhere I go, I'm thinking, `Did The Beatles ever eat here? Has Keith Richards ever passed out drunk in this pub?' "I know they probably haven't, but it makes me happy to pretend. Having said that, I was in Soho in London recently and I saw (Oasis star) Noel Gallagher buying a guitar, so that's helped keep my fantasy alive."
