On last week’s Confessions of a Teen Idol you saw Jeremy Jackson whooping it up while driving down the Sunset Strip with his other Idol buds. It was a return to the old days, when the young actor had a big chunk of star power thanks to his work as Hobie on Baywatch, the most-watched show television ever coughed up. These days the 31-year-old is trying to reclaim a bit of that visibility. He recently texted us from L.A. and the chat veered from his favorite time of day to have sex to how he feels after cutting off his trademark long hair.

Thanks for texting us, Jeremy. What’s your ringtone?
JJ: I like to keep it classic with a factory standard ringer. I’m a big BB (blackberry) fan, so a simple old-school phone “ring ring” will do for me.
But you keep up with music, though. Right?
JJ: Yes, of course. Love music. House, electro, rock, hip-hop.
People on the street ever call you Hobe?
JJ: Aaaaaw gaaaaaaawd YES. Maybe every day at least one person will drop the H Bomb. Haha.
What was the best episode of Baywatch?
JJ: Define best.
The one that makes you laff the most.
JJ: Hmmm…There were a TON of pretty dang cheesy episodes. One where Mitch had to tunnel under the sand to save a hostage…one where I had to wrestle a giant eel…one where we got stuck in an ice cave made of Styrofoam. So there was plenty to laugh at. But there a few touching and inspirational episodes in there, too. :)
Ever hang with any of your bwatch buds?
JJ: I do, actually…I just got back from Vegas with the Hoff…
