Most RHOV fans know Jeevan as
being the best friend to Ronnie Negus’s son Jhordan Stevenson. Together both
Jeevan and Jhordan are currently working on a new reality show together along with
two other friends. Jeevan dishes more details about this new reality show which
will be based in Vancouver
iRH: Hi Jeevan, welcome to
iRealHousewives, how are you?
JD: I’m doing great, how are
you?
iRH: For those who don’t know much about you, can you tell us a bit about yourself?
JD: My name is Jeevan, I am
19 years old from Vancouver ,
BC Vancouver
iRH: What do you think is the
biggest misconception people get from you being the heir and grandson to
forestry icon Herb Doman?
JD: The biggest misconception
people get from being Herb Doman's grandchild is that some people assume that I
am a spoiled trust fund brat that is self centered. That right there is so far
from the truth, my friends and family know I am a down to earth individual who
understands the value of a dollar. My grandfather was the most influential man
ever I am truly so lucky to have had him in my life. He is my motivation and
someone I will always look up to. If you know of him, his reputation says it
all. One day I strive to be half the man he was.
iRH: You are best friends
with Ronnie Negus’ son Jhordan Stevenson, how long do you know each other?
JD: Jhordan and I are really
good friends. I have known him since I was a baby as my mother, Darcia and
Ronnie are old time friends. Jhord and I attended Shawnigan Lake
Boarding School
iRH: Speaking of you and
Jhordan, I know you two are currently working on new a reality show, how did
that come about?
JD: Jhordan has the previous
experience in the reality TV industry so one day we were talking about how
funny it would be if him and myself did a reality TV show. Next thing you
know a phone call later and a pitch we were filming the pilot in no time.
iRH: Were you involved with
the casing and production of the show?
JD: Both Jhordan and I are
involved quite a bit in the production of the show. We like to decide on
locations and who and where people will be in the frame. When it comes down to
the editing we have a great team that makes everything falls into place.
iRH: Can you tell us what the
concept of show is mainly about?
JD: The concept of our show
is mostly about the lifestyle and drama privileged youth's endured while
residing in Vancouver
iRH: The show will also
include your other two friends Frankie Cayun and Craig Fobourt, can you tell us
a bit about them?
JD: Our other two cast
members include Francesca (Frankie) Cayun and Craig Fobourt. Frankie is a great
friend and is someone you can always rely on, no matter what she has your back!
But watch out if you get on her bad side you will see a whole other side of
Frankie Cayun. Craig is a friend who I have recently just met through Jhordan
prior to the show. He is a great guy with the most caring personality but when
the sun goes down... and no, he does not turn into a werewolf (laughs), but he
releases his wild side and is ready to make the best out of every party, his
presence could turn a senior bingo night into something you will never even
experience in Vegas! There is no one else I would ever turn to when I want to
have a wild night of getting rock bottom (my trademark saying for getting
extremely drunk) than Craig.
iRH: Can you tell us if
Ronnie Negus will make any cameo appearances?
JD: Ronnie most likely will
make a cameo appearance on our show, when we showed her the teaser she LOVED
it!
iRH: According to reports the
name of the show will be “The North Shore”. Can you confirm this?
JD: While there are two names
still being debated for the title of this new show, I can confirm “The North
Shore” is one of them. Personally I don't think this will be it as it is too
close to “The Jersey Shore”. I am sure the other title will be released or
leaked soon (laughs)
iRH: Rumors are circulating
that the show will most likely air on MTV Canada, and possibly MTV USA
JD: There has been some
interest by MTV for the network for the show to air on but I cannot release
further information at this time.
iRH: Is the show being filmed
in Canada only, or will you be
filming outside of Canada
JD: We have done most of our
filming in Canada
iRH: Any inside scoop you can
tells us on what’s to expect on the show?
JD: Viewers can expect to see
a lot of drama speculate on the show as well as some crazy partying mixed
between relationships and what it's like to live a privileged lifestyle.
iRH: Was it hard having
cameras following everywhere?
JD: At first having a camera
crew around me at all times was a little nerve rattling. By the end of the
first day I was able to forget that they were there and by the end of the weak
I forgot I was wired up at times and said some pretty nasty things on camera
about some people. At the end of the day shooting reality TV is like buying a
new pair of shoes, at first there a little uncomfortable until you break them
in.
iRH: Are you still currently
filming the show?
JD: Currently we are just
working on wrapping up the pilot.
iRH: Any idea when the 1st
episode (pilot) will air?
JD: My guess we are hoping
the pilot will air sometime in the beginning of September.
iRH: I’ve watched the two
teaser trailers of the show, are we going to expect to see more promos in the next
upcoming weeks?
JD: The two teasers were
meant for the viewers to meet the cast members. More promo clips will be coming
in the next few weeks... Stay tuned guys
iRH: My favorite line from
the trailer is what you said and I quote “We aren’t alcoholics, alcoholics go
to meetings” do you still feel the same way (laughs)?
JD: When I said "We
aren't alcoholics, alcoholics go to meetings" I meant to add in meetings
are for quitters (laughs). It's just a joke I like to tell my parents if they
try and confront me about drinking too much. I handle my liquor well, there's
always a time and a place to party and have fun... and no that is not everyday
guys even though viewers may be thinking that.
iRH: What is your favorite
mix drink or alcohol beverage and why?
JD: My favorite drink has to
be Molson Canadian Cold Shots there’s a small strong beer that is extremely
refreshing. My favorite mix drink would have to be a refreshing Mojito.
iRH: Since you enjoy to
party, what type of music do you enjoy the most to dance to?
JD: When I party I like to
dance to everything from Country to Top 40 except for metal but the music has
to be up beat and not depressing.
iRH: For someone as young as
you, you have achieved some success, are you also looking to break into other
business ventures?
JD: Apart from the show I am
a very truly dedicated business man. I come from a family full of successful
entrepreneurs and sometimes that can be overwhelming. Overall my business goal
is to become independently successful without any help from my family and make
my own mark in this world.
iRH: What are your
expectations of the show? Are you hoping it opens other opportunities?
JD: I really think viewers
will enjoy it, the show has a little bit of everything to it. Who knows maybe
this show will open new doors to other things, we will see what happens.
iRH: If you have the compare
this show to other reality shows, which one would you compare it to?
JD: If I had to compare our
show to another reality TV show it would have to be a mixture of two, The
Jersey Shore and Laguna Beach
iRH: What scares you the most
about doing reality TV, do you have any fears about it?
JD: What I was scared most
about perusing reality TV was that I would be portrayed in a negative way which
could eventually ruin my business reputation
iRH: Do you watch any reality
TV, if so which ones do you enjoy the most?
JD: I'm not really a huge fan
of watching TV but if I do a fun reality show I like to watch is The Real
Housewives of Vancouver just because it is funny to watch people you know like
Ronnie on television.
iRH: I read somewhere that
you had a relationship with Ashley Benson star from Pretty Little Liars, can
you confirm this?
JD: Ashley and I are just
friends. Nothing more
iRH: Are you currently
single?
JD: At the moment I am
currently single, when the right lady crosses my path I will be ready to settle
down with someone.
iRH: For all the ladies out
there, what type of girl are you most attracted to?
JD: I am mostly attracted to
girls with a good sense of humor and that have a really good personality.
Genuine caring girls are always a great catch for me
iRH: What do you enjoy doing
on your spare time?
JD: In my spare time I enjoy
sports like wakeboarding, water skiing and hockey. I also like hanging out with
my family and close friends.
iRH: Do you sponsor or
support any type of charities, if so which one(s)?
JD: Currently I am on the
committee for my Cousins charity called Face of Today. The charity has raised
over 300,000 dollars in the last 4 years to support local underprivileged
youths and give them opportunities of a life time. Recently we opened a
recording studio so that these youth's who can’t afford to experience musical
activities can.
iRH: Being a socialite in Canada
JD: The term Socialite is a
little girly but yes I do have the opportunity to mingle with a lot of
celebrities at high end functions in Vancouver
iRH: What are some of your
favorite vacation spots you enjoy the most in Europe and in the US
JD: My favorite vacation
spots would have to be Monaco ,
Maui, Newport Beach , Phoenix ,
Miami and of course Las Vegas
iRH: Name one thing about
yourself that you like the most?
JD: One thing I like the most
about my self is that I always put others in front of me when it comes to
helping people.
iRH: Name one thing about
yourself that you dislike the most?
JD: One thing I dislike the
most about me is that I am too generous. I like to see smiles on peoples faces
even if that means buying them an extravagant gift. This is no way to build
proper relationships with girls and or friends as some people become too
reliant on it and take advantage of me.
iRH: Tell us something about yourself
that might surprises us?
JD: When my mindset is right
I am able to accomplish anything life throws at me.
iRH: Anything you would like
to say to your fans?
JD: Something I would like to
say to my fans is that you guys are all awesome, thanks for the support and
always be true to yourself! Hope you guys enjoy the show
