LOST MEDIA: Rare Kristin Kreuk Interview on ESPN Cold Pizza December 5, 2004 discussing Smallville

Credit to Pat (whom I met randomly at Salute to Smallville) for providing me the actual source files and a direct capture from this long lost interview of Kristin Kreuk on the ESPN morning talk show Cold Pizza with host Kit Hoover. This long lost interview features Kristin discussing her time on Smallville, her thoughts on being considered as a top 5 on Maxim Hot 100 list, her relationship with Shawn Ashmore, and what her sister thinks of her work on Legend of Earthsea. This was still relatively early in Kristin Kreuk's career that now spans over 25 years.
The original video was 480i, but has now been upscaled to 1080p 60 fps.

Kristin Kreuk is just stunning.....

[@seriouslyzany9232]

I am not kidding, her beauty was on another level back then. She’s still a 10 now of course but something about her then was so ethereal, you can’t take your eyes off of her and I’m saying this as a straight woman. She’s striking.

[@Jan0630]

She is gorgeous, isn’t she. Her beauty is beyond regular beauty. That’s why Maxim named her Hollywood’s top 5 most gorgeous females.

​​@@Jan0630I think Michael Rosenbaum once described her as one of the world's most beautiful women on an episode of "Talkville."

[@Jan0630]

@@melvynjleese51 Yes, he was calling her one of the most beautiful women in the world during the episode Nicodemus.

[@Jan0630]

In the DVD commentary for episode Exile S3E1, Michael said he has an attraction for Kristin since season 1.

@@Jan0630she really is. Even during Smallville, every scene she was in I found myself fixated on her back then and even now during a recent rewatch 20 years later and I thought “ahh this is the girl that had me buying neutrogena as a teen thinking I’d look like her one day” 🤣🤣

She's so incredibly beautiful

My forever crush

The Superman red & blue suit was only seen at the end because Smallville was about Clark Kent. I seem to recall a phrase around the time saying "no flights, no tights.' I agree with the comments about Kristin - she was, and indeed, still is stunning & was a credit to the character of Lana.

Not familiar with Smallville, but used to watch Cold Pizza which is now known as ESPN First Take.
Damn, this was the same year I got out of high school playing Final Fantasy XI all day everyday.......Time flies.

Vancouver native did not need to move much because Smallville was filmed in that area! 😎
Kristen Kreuk, John Paul Gosseler and the Van Halen brothers have Indonesian 🇮🇩 mothers 👩 and Dutch 🇳🇱 fathers 👨.

[@ScarredRomeo]

Kristin’s mother is not Indonesian. She’s Indo-Chinese, the daughter of Chinese immigrants to Indonesia.

[@WineSippingCowboy]

Ok. I was referring to nationality of her mom. I did not know that she is Chinese.
