"Idol's" Castro Asked the Dreaded Question

Although trying to make it home by "A.I.'s" strict curfew, Jason Castro still found time to play nice and be chatty with TMZ -- until one question completely shut him down!


Think of the children!

31. this video is too cute. love that kid so much. and im glad he ignored the pap. what has he done to help the world. thanks man, we really needed another pic of britney spears. yay!

but what is up with all the comments on his dreads. dont hate the man because he's being different. i dont think any of you have actually smelled or felt his hair to see if it's dirty or smells. ridiculous. what is up with all the close minded people of the world.

33. I hope you guys didn’t waste an incredible amount of time digging up this super hot story. And here I thought Jason Castro was a decent person and true humanitarian. TMZ, I cannot thank you enough for this startling reveal. It’s high time the world knows how egotistical he really is. I mean, choosing to further your career in music by taking advantage of a once in a lifetime opportunity like American Idol. It’s just despicable. I’m sure the other times he’s volunteered to help those less fortunate was just for show. A young man has nothing else better to do with his time, right?

Why don’t you all get a life and stop hounding people for trying to live theirs. TMZ is so lame.

34. Jason is the best, it's sad that TMZ had to go so low on finding dirt on him that they had to ask him about the Hondorous trip.. I'm sure if he hadn't gotten the chance to be on AI he would have gone... I'm sure if Jason wins this thing that he will be able to do more good than you can ever imagine.. TMZ, leave Jason alone... I can't believe that you would stoop so low just so you can make people feel less about themselves.. Jason is amazingly talented and his fans love him.. Leave him alone..

35. What the hell is this? What a stupid question... I mean the boy helps people... much more than I can say about TMZ.... I mean why pay a camera man whenever clearly he is an iddiot? See the point of the PAP is to get people talking back to you... not to ignore you. If this man were a real news reporter he would be fired...



the only reason I watch your show is because your boss man (yea the lawyer) is a hot Daddy!!!! WOOF!!!

36. He's a good Christian boy with good Christian values. And he's got one damn fine Christian azz, too. Thank you Jesus! Finally, AI managed to film him from behind last night. More of that, please.

37. CHEAP SHOT TMZ - What a cheap shot you took at this kid ! What is TMZ doing for orphans in Honduras? I am a fan of TMZ but this punk question is personally hurtful and WAY out of line. This is a chance of a lifetime for Jason and you or anyone else would have made the same choice (Idol vs charity work). The interviewer and TMZ owe him an apology - but I doubt he gets it from either of you.

38. How awful of TMZ! Shame on you skeezy people for trying to make Jason look bad. Jason is a very admirable person for being interested in charity work at his age. I don't blame his at all for doing Idol. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for gosh sakes!

I'm voting for Jason all the way!

39. Note that Jason's spring break plans had been to go on a mission trip, not just a college spring break trip to tparty at the beach. That says volumes about him and his priorities. He's been on mission trips before, and he will go again when he is able.

41. The guy had a chance to further his career, he should have definitely taken it. Once he has a lot of money and is famous he can go down to Honduras and help out as many kids as he wants to. He is not a bad guy for wanting to get ahead in life. Maybe TMZ should stop chasing other idiots down in the street and go help out the kids in Honduras.

43. This stupid and annoying interviewer..SHAME on you. What, if anything, have YOU done to give, be kind, be decent. I would guess just about ZERO!!
Get your own lazy, vacuous arse to Honduras and do something to help instead of being another moron crap reporter eager to be nasty.
O.K??...When do you leave for Honduras?? DO let us all know about your itinerary and efforts!! I await!..
