In a candid interview with Wonderland Magazine, Hudson Williams, a standout star from the popular show Heated Rivalry, opened up about his unique affection for Vancouver's slower pace compared to the fast-paced lifestyle of Los Angeles. Having spent a significant amount of time in the scenic city, thanks to his film studies at Langara College and a stint at the Old Spaghetti Factory in New Westminster, Williams has developed a fondness for Vancouver's tranquility.
When prodded about relocating to the glitzy allure of Los Angeles or staying put in Vancouver, Williams humorously revealed his ideal living situation. "If I had f**k-you money, I’d get a little apartment in L.A. and a villa in Italy, as well as Vancouver," he quipped, encapsulating his appreciation for both the vibrant energy of LA and the peaceful vibes of Vancouver.
"People are like, ‘Isn’t Vancouver boring?’ Yeah. That’s what I like about it," Williams confessed, highlighting his preference for the understated charm of Vancouver over the constant motion of LA life.
Williams, who has a penchant for embracing life's simpler pleasures, shared how Vancouver allows him to connect with his artistic side. "In Vancouver, I read books, watch movies. I feel plugged into my inspiration. I can absorb art before I have to expend it," he said, voicing his contentment with the city's serene opportunities for creativity and reflection.
Contrastingly, Williams noted how the bustling energy of LA sometimes blurs the lines between genuine creative endeavors and the mere idea of being an artist. "You need hobbies. You need to be doing things that aren’t just talking about art," he advised, emphasizing the importance of balancing work and play.
Ultimately, while some may find Vancouver's pace a tad slow, Williams seems to cherish its differences, appreciating a lifestyle that allows him to stay grounded amidst the chaos often found in the entertainment industry.
