When One Tree Hill star James Lafferty stopped by our office back in September, we were all a bit giddy. I mean, is there anyone who hasn’t crushed on the hot TV star at some point during the show’s soon-to-be eight-season run? But one of our editors was just a tad bit giddier than the rest of us…

OK, so that might be the understatement of the year–Julie, our amazing-beyond-words photo projects director actually prepped for her grand entrance with James–fluffing the hair, glossing the lips–you know the deal. See, Julie’s always had a thing for James (just like I’ve always had a thing for Bryan Greenberg), so we sent them off for an exclusive interview, and he opened up to her about what’s to come after this year’s bittersweet series finale, hipsters, and sneaking peaks at Victoria’s Secret catalogs. (Say what?) Well, just read the interview for yourself:

Julie: So this is it–the final season of One Tree Hill. How does it feel?
James: We shot our pilot in 2003 and we’ll be airing into 2012, so it’s been nine years! Now that the show’s done, I’m happy to take a bit of a break and just wrap my head around what has been and what’s to come.

Do you ever watch old episodes of yourself?
Every once in a while, I do. We’re constantly on SoapNet, which I find both hilarious and great because I can turn on the TV and see the whole cast six years ago and how much we’ve all changed.

And do you always remember the episodes when you watch them on TV?
That’s the weirdest thing. I turn on the TV and watch specific scenes and I have no recollection of ever being there! It would be as if somebody filmed every single day of your high school career, you’d be like, I don’t remember saying that! I don’t remember doing that, but I guess I did, because it’s on TV!

So what do you have planned next?
I’ll start auditioning for roles, which is crazy. I haven’t really done a full audition for a long time, so I’m going to have to get back in the groove of going into that room and just doing my thing. But I also wrote a film that I want to direct.

What’s it about?
I guess you could classify it as a post-apocalyptic zombie western. It’s out there, but it’s grounded in real relationships. I’ve had the script written for two or three years now. I love zombies.

What are some of your favorite movies?
Wayne’s World is my all time favorite comedy. I used to watch it on VHS on repeat with my brother when I was ten years old. I also love the Harry Potter films–they’re genius! I watched all of them last Thanksgiving break–I couldn’t believe what I was missing.

What’s your fantasy outfit for a girl?
Well, I’m giving an interview to Glamour, so I know I might get crucified for this, but there’s a trend going on where girls are wearing clothes that are big, formless and flowing. There’s no element of mystery! I know it’s comfortable, but girls are just kind of hiding everything.

So you want to see some skin.
I understand why a lot of women want to dress hipster. But I grew up sneaking my mom’s Victoria’s Secrets…so I could look at the hot chicks!
