Amy Weber

RUKUS magazine, June 2015, Print

Amy Weber was born in Peoria, Illinois, but raised in the nearby town of Mapleton. Her family ended up relocating to Ocala, Florida just before her freshman year of high school. After graduating high school Amy attended the University of Central Florida in Orlando as a Psychology major, but after a year realized she wanted to do something different, so she packed her bags and moved to Los Angeles to become an actress. Soon after landing in the city of angels Amy modeled for numerous print ads and television commercials. She’s also been featured on the covers and inside countless magazines and continues her quest of taking over the world. Amy’s achievements are long and we could spend all day talking about them, let’s just put it this way, if you Google her you won’t be disappointed and if you can imagine it, Amy has probably already done it. We expect nothing but the best from Amy for many years to come.

1. What’s your Ethnicity?

I am a mix of German, Hungarian, Scottish, Irish and American Indian.

2. What’s your zodiac sign?

I am a cancer and pretty true to what astrologists say Cancer traits are; very loyal, fiercely protective, trustworthy…oh, and can be moody at times.

3. Where are you from originally?

I was born in a small corn farming community called Mapleton, Illinois which is near Peoria. Definitely not Chicago. My nearest neighbor was about thirty acres away.

4. What did you like most about growing up in Mapleton?

Mapleton was great because there were so many things to discover outside. I could build forts in trees or rescue wild rabbits, and foxes. We had sunny summers and super cold snowy winters, so I got to experience the true seasons.

5. What kind of mischief did you get into while growing up?

I was a pretty good kid growing up, my father was a very scary man and quite the tyrant, so I tried not to tick him off. I would use my Mom’s bread baking pans to try to build igloos and then they would rust, so that would tick her off. I also raced motorcycles from the age of seven until twelve, so that was a pretty wild child. [laugh]

6. What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done?

I would have to say running away from Hollywood and joining the WWE was pretty crazy. I knew what I was doing in the entertainment industry and had a pretty good footing set down, so to just say screw it and go try to wrestle and be on the road almost 300 days out of the year was crazy to me.

7. What’s your favorite hobby and why?

Honestly, I love to cook, it is relaxing and it is nice to be able to create something out of all these ingredients. Sleep would be my second favorite since I never seem to get enough of it.

8. What’s your guilty pleasure?

I don’t feel too guilty about it but I can’t really go a day without chocolate in some form. I try to stick with the darker kind that is “supposed” to be good for you, but sweets are definitely my downfall. I can pass up a plate of french fries, but not chocolate cream pie or peanut butter and chocolate ice cream.

9. Who do you admire and why?

I admire out troops, these brave men and women who sacrifice so much for our freedom. The service dogs too, that put their lives on the line to protect their handlers. I think we sometimes forget that there are still people out there serving that are away from their families, their homes, their kids, out there making sure that we can still be safe and have the freedoms that our forefathers fought so hard to achieve.

10.If you could change one thing in the world what would it be and why?

Hunger, especially for children. I can’t imagine not knowing when my next meal would be. It is so unfair that kids are born in to a world that allows them to starve, it truly breaks my heart.

11. What’s one of your personal goals?

I want to see the show I created “Good Samaritans” on the air. The show has a really positive and inspiring message, but it is also funny as hell because it is a hidden camera show.

12. What do guys compliment you on the most?

When they see me from the front, my eyes and then from behind…well, my behind. [laugh] Thank goodness round butts are in style now. That whole skinny, heroine chic thing wasn’t great for my body type.

13. What’s your favorite body part on yourself?

I like my legs. For someone who isn’t six feet tall, I actually have long legs so most people think I am taller than I truly am and are usually surprised when they meet me in person for the first time.

14. What do you look for in a guy?

Confidence is the key for me, not cocky, but someone who is self assured and feels good about themselves. It makes them comfortable to be around and helps other people feel comfortable in their own skin.

15. What’s the first thing you notice about a guy?

His eyes. I think you can tell so much about someone’s eyes, also if they are genuine, kind, and honest.

16. What’s your ideal first date?

Dinner and a walk on a boardwalk or beach so you’re able to talk and really get to know that person. A movie is silly because you can’t really talk and a club, well, that’s even worse.

17. What turns you on?

Cleanliness. I can’t really say much more but you can’t really feel or think someone is sexy if they stink.

18. What turns you off?

Bad breath, bad manners, and insecurities.

19. What’s your biggest pet peeve?

I have a really hard time with people that lie and people that are late. I always say, if someone doesn’t respect your time, they don’t respect you.

20. Who’s your celebrity pass?

I’ve always thought that Jude Law was sexy. He kind of killed it for me with that whole cheating with the Nanny thing, but outwardly, he is still cute.
