Audrey Tautou. “I watch her movies and I have chest pains, she’s so gorgeous,” he admits.

“I’m on the billionth draft of this stupid novel,” says Phil. “I spend my free time surfing between coffee shops and scribbling on my manuscript.” Phil’s favorite spot to write in is Williamsbu­rg’s Vittoria Cafe.

World traveler

Phil speaks fluent Spanish and “decent” French. His last internatio­nal adventure was a trip to Barcelona.

Hop to it

“For dates, I like the usual stuff: bars, restaurant­s and movies,” says Phil. “I want to eat

grasshoppe­r tacos, but no one has taken me up on it.”
