On SimplePlan.cz, you could have already read flashbacks on Simple Plan’s relationship with Hilary Duff or on the Punk Rock Holocaust movie. This time, let’s turn the time back 6 years ago when the film New York Minute was shot in New York… duh. Except the Olsen twins, Jared Padalecki (Gilmore Girls, Supernatural), Eugene Levi (American Pie) or Jack Osbourne (The Osbournes), Simple Plan also starred in this movie. As themselves. You can read more about the movie itself right here.

But how did the guys get the role in the first place? In an interview for the Chart magazine back in 2005 Chuck says: “The whole way we approached it was that we heard that they liked our band and they called and said, “Do you want to be i our movie?” And for us it was a chance to play live concert in a movie. We don’t really discriminate who we play in front of and it gave us a chance to do what we do – which is play live in front of a bunch of people.”

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have been a pretty massive global phenomenon back in 2004, so there’s no wonder the guys from SP wanted to get closer to them. “We tried to buy them lunch,” says Chuck. “But they weren’t having any of it….” David smiles: “Mary-Kate tried my bubble tea.”

Exclusive, you can now check out a HQ version of the photo of the Simple Plan members with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, which has been only seen in a really low quality so far:
