James Van Der Beek defends Kesha video

Dawson's Creek star James Van Der Beek is unrepentant about his decision to star in a Kesha music video, saying he justed wanted to have some fun.

Actor James Van Der Beek has defended his decision to appear in an oddball video by pop star Kesha.

The Dawson's Creek star came under fire from fans for filming a strange cameo appearance in the singer's promo for the 2011 track Blow in which he wears a bra and shoots unicorns with laser beams.

However, Van Der Beek is unrepentant about the move, insisting he just wanted to have some fun in his career.

"The director, Chris Marrs (Chris Marrs Piliero), got the job by pitching his vision to her, and that vision included me with a laser gun shooting unicorns who bled rainbows.

"I was in a period in my career where I stopped worrying about what people might think and just started saying yes to anything I hadn't done before that sounded like it might be fun," he told Reddit.com.
