Josh Hartnett had a creative up upbringing

Josh Hartnett is adamant his Minnesota routes have given him a head start in Hollywood.

The Black Hawk Down star says the unique lifestyle in his hometown means Minnesotans are more likely to make it as actors and musicians.

“I think there are an inordinate amount of creative people that come from my hometown because we literally spend six months out of the year inside with nothing to do but imagine,” says Josh.

“Really great musicians come from Minnesota because there’s just so much time to practice. We have a couple of true geniuses like Bob Dylan and Prince and other artists as well. And I come from an artistic family so I think climate ultimately affects everything.

“If you have nothing but beaches around you, you’ll probably surf and have a great tan. It’s going to affect the way you look and the way you act.”
