HC (Her Campus):So, since you’re from Cali, do you know how to surf?
CW (Chris Willson):Yeah, I’ve actually been surfing since I was 15 years old. Every time I go back home I try and surf as much as I can.
HC:What do you do in your spare time?
CW:I play the keyboard a little bit, and just chill with my friends.
HC:What’s your favorite type of music?
CW:I pretty much listen to everything – anything that jams. Like reggae and rock.
HC:Favorite Movie?
CW:I like a lot of movies. Caddy Shack is up there. Since I’m a baseball player, I like The Sandlot too.
HC:What surprises most people about you?
CW:That I can play the keyboard and jam out. No one really expects a big guy to play the keyboard (laughs).
HC:Do you have any nicknames?
CW:Well the guys on the baseball team call me Diesel, just because I’m a big guy. That’s the only one I’ve heard of.

HC:Okay, so we’ve got to know, boxers or briefs?
CW:Actually briefs, I like the snug athletic feel (laughs).
HC:(Laughs). So, I see you have a tattoo?
CW:Yeah I actually have three. I got my first one junior year in high school.
HC:What was it?
CW:It’s a Japanese symbol on my hip; it means strength. When I was younger I broke my hip from falling off a tree. I got it because I thought it would be cool and mean something. But it’s not really that cool.
HC:No I get it! What does the tattoo on your arm say?
CW:It says “Glory to God.” I’m actually really spiritual and religious and that’s how I live my life. I also lead Bible studies for the baseball team.
HC:Oh wow, that’s really cool.
CW:Yeah, coming off, people just think I’m really arrogant; but that’s not how I am, I’m just really outgoing. My parents are deep into faith and I really have a strong support system. I try to live my life every day for God.
HC:So you play baseball here, right?
CW:Yeah, I’m a pitcher.
HC:Did you come to Wake for baseball?
CW:Yeah I got recruited to come here.
HC:And how do you like it so far?
CW: Oh I like it here. I like the small atmosphere and just the class size and everyone is pretty cool here.
HC:What do you do besides baseball?
CW:I love helping kids. I go volunteer at the elementary school down the street sometimes and I go hang out with the 3rd graders.
HC:Any thoughts on the girls at Wake and how they dress?
CW:Well it’s different than where I’m from, but I enjoy it when the sundresses come out (laughs). The preppy look I can deal with.
HC:What type of qualities do you look for in a girl?
CW:Anyone cool, down-to-earth, and easy to hang out with and talk to.
HC:What are you most attracted to in a girl?
CW:I think confidence is key and it helps you stand out. A girl who’s confident in herself is attractive.
HC:What actress do you find the most attractive?
CW:Catherine Zeta Jones – I like that ethnic look. Being from LA I’m used to a lot of Hispanic women, but I mean anything’s fine.

HC:Okay, so how long was your longest relationship?
CW: In high school I was in a relationship for about 8 months, and that was the only relationship I’ve ever had.
HC:So why did you two break up?
CW:We were at different points in our lives and I needed to do things for myself and for college and everything. It was just too much turmoil.
HC:So I’ve seen you on the dance floor, where did you learn to dance?
CW:Umm my grandma actually (laughs).
HC:(Laughing) Really?
CW:Yeah when I was younger she would always dance with me and stuff. So I learned from her and I think that’s where my moves come from (laughs).
HC:Any goals for the future?
CWI’m going to continue playing baseball as long as I can, and after that I actually want to do missionary work and spread the word.
