朱利安‧丹尼森Julian Dennison

暴漲聲勢能搖動紐西蘭新星的初心?

Will fame change this rising star from New Zealand?

朱利安‧丹尼森現在只要出門就一定會被人認出來，特別是在紐西蘭自己的國家裡。

這位年輕演員被公認為紐西蘭最出名的青少年之一；不管他到哪裡，總是得簽名還有跟影迷合照。

管朱利安是眾人矚目的焦點，不過他卻似乎已打定主意不會改變或忘記自己的根。

朱利安在二OO二年十月出生於紐西蘭威靈頓一個充滿愛的家庭裡。

他在四個孩子裡排行倒數第二，有一個雙胞胎兄弟叫做克里斯汀。

朱利安母親那邊的祖先是毛利人，因此他現在正在學習怎麼說毛利語。

他對於自己所承襲的文化極為驕傲，也出現在電視上鼓勵大家學習毛利語。

在很多方面來說，朱利安過著一個跟正常青少年一樣的生活；他住在家裡、會去上學，也會和哥兒們聚在一起。

這陣子他的朋友還包括了萊恩雷諾斯、山姆‧尼爾、米莉‧芭比‧布朗。

這個來自紐西蘭的年輕人是如何跟這些名流明星成為朋友的呢？
