Private Life

-->

Sean, like many other celebrities, prefers and tries to keep his private life closed off to the paparazzi. Faris has been reported to have had a serious relationship with one girl before entering California but she later broke his heart. Then he dated a Maxim model and an unknown resident from Vancouver during the shooting of Life As We Know It and Reunion.

He has denied rumours that he is dating Desperate Housewife Eva Longoria— they are just friends.

In a recent interview, Sean claims that he is done going clubbing and is thinking about finding "The One" of whom he wants to approach her, not the other way around and is the one that could cook also, not just him.

Sean wants some qualities in a girl that is naturally beautiful and not high maintenance and continuously enjoys shopping. And has jokingly stated that he might want a girl with brunette hair, "big booty" and "Angelina Jolie lips." As a big plus, Sean wants a girl that is true to herself.

Myspace

Sean has a myspace account but tries it out from the public eye to protect his idenity. Like many other celebrities, or well-known personnel, many people have posed as Faris with fake myspace accounts. To avoid anyone easily finding his real account, Sean Faris does not use his real name.

Real Life Quotes

"High school is high school, but it's not until you get out of high school that you realize that it's just a stepping stone in life. Nothing is easy about high school. I didn't know where I fit. There are so many cliques of people who are popular and who are not. You get too caught up trying to figure out where you fit in the whole scheme of things, but really, it truly doesn't matter. All that matters is that you have your friends who are your friends -- period." Interview with Tim Lammers, July 2004.
"I hate junk food. It depresses me."
"For two weeks, I had the entire neighborhood believing I was Tom Cruise's son - until my step-sister spilled the beans on me."
"Once I got into modeling, I realized how much I really hated the industry... A lot of people that model tend to think they're God's gift, but I was like 'Great, you can model, but what have you done to accomplish anything in your life?' I wanted a sense of accomplishment at the end of the day."
"I hate the polo collar."
"Because I didn't go to college, and because I spent my college time out in L.A., it gives me a huge advantage over anyone who went to college... By the time they get out of school, I've already had four years of real world experience. I just feel like I have a major edge over them."

-->

"I don't want a girl who's high-maintenance and wants to go shopping... I like a girl who doesn't wear make-up and is naturally beautiful."
"I hope people remember me for the kind of person that I am, not because of what I do."
[if attend to his high school reunion] I would go back to my own high school reunion, but it would be hard. A lot of people hate me when I moved to Hollywood, like, 'You'll never make it.' But now I'm doing what I always wanted to do, living my dream.
[on being pretty faced] It's like, thanks for the good genes, Mom and Dad. I wanted to work.
I got a role in Pearl Harbor within a week of getting to L.A.. My head swelled. I spent all my money in two months and then didn't work for another six. Luckily, Grandma hooked a brother up.
"Why would I have a girlfriend that I work with when you know you're not going to marry the girl and eventually it's going to go south? I think it's very unprofessional."
"My friends have already made a deal with me... I'm like, 'The second I become an ass, you tell me.' They're like, 'Don't worry buddy. We'll be happy to tell you.' "
"I'm an Aries, 100%! I am very competitive, and I like to win!"
[on his experience during the filming of Pearl Harbor] "It was awesome... I got to shoot in Texas, hang out with Josh Hartnett--who is the nicest guy--and watch stuff blow up."
"I loved rockin' pink with the collar up [on Reunion] ... Throw a little green in there, balance it out."
[personal style] "Comfort. If it's comfortable and it looks decent, I'll wear it. There's no in-between for me. Either I want to be rocking in an Armani suit, or I want to be in jeans and a T-shirt. I wouldln't want to be in khakis and a button-down. That's just not me."
[favortie designer] "On the red carpet, Armani. I love Armani. I actually just went to his fashion show in Milan."
[the Tom Cruise comparsion if it's getting old to him] "Yeah, it really does. No disrespect. I think he's a really good actor. I'm flattered, but I'm not him."
[if to play a gay role] "Actually, my first role ever was as a gay kid who had a big crush on -- and a relationship with -- his best friend. It was a horrible independent. I don't think it ever got released. I don't even remember the name of it."
