Because my 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:28.359 my stunt double was a boy, so there were times 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:29.840 where they wanted to get close up. 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:32.040 Your stunt double was a dude. 0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:35.040 Yes, it was a little Hispanic boy, and I am 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:37.440 I am embarrassed to say we looked very much alike. 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:40.160 We really couldn't tell it different. 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:43.960 I don't even want you to listen to the podcast 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:47.599 episode now because I was like, and even Gabriella's stunt 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:48.839 double looks so good. 0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:51.160 I mean, how did they find these people to look 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:52.040 so much alike? 0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:53.680 They really did. You couldn't tell. 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:55.760 And mostly one of the things we were talking about 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:58.680 was the fact that we couldn't tell the actors from 0:06:58.960 --> 0:06:59.720 the stunt doubles. 0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:01.240 It was almost seamless. 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:03.919 No, he was he was a boy.

But we had the 0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:10.880 same kind of body type, and he was my height 0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:13.080 and everything, so my color. 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:14.600 Like, you really couldn't. 0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:16.800 Tell you're dropping they're teaching you how to drop in. 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:18.640 This is before the film is even started. 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:20.560 Yeah, this is just training. 0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:25.840 So the Channel was potentially willing to lose actors before 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:28.440 filming because that's so dangerous. 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:29.360 That does not look. 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:35.520 You guys know, things are different back then. Back in 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:38.000 the day, they they just took all kinds of risk 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:40.320 and did all kinds of things that they would never 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:43.000 do now. I mean they would have allowed too. 0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:45.480 Well. 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:48.880 So again just being overly confident, and you know, I'm 0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:52.600 with a bunch of other like dudes and skaters, and 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:55.320 I was like, my ego was like I can't you know, 0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:57.840 I gotta, I gotta do this, even though I was terrified. 0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:02.840 So I went down and you know, I didn't have 0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:05.360 my balance. It's why I'm not very good at snowboarding. 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:08.520 I didn't have my balance, and so I went up 0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:10.360 and my feet kind of went under me and I 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:13.120 just fell directly on my tailbone at the like middle 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:14.040 of the pipe. 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:15.400 Man. 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:19.320 And so they didn't they didn't have me do it anymore. 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:22.040 After you didn't break anything, did you. 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:26.040 I didn't break anything.

Yep. 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:01.480 Yeah, it really was ahead of its time. 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:04.440 Also for the reason that you know, most of the 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:07.280 time when we're watching these movies, anytime that Disney was 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:09.480 doing a film back then, if there was a girl 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:11.720 in it, there was some sort of love interest, right, 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:13.760 and you know she was somebody who the one of. 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:15.760 The boys was in love with. There was no there 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:16.920 wasn't even alluded to. 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:18.720 In this movie that there was any love interest. This 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:20.000 was just the soule skaters. 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:25.240 Well, we did think there was possibly could have been. Well, 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:27.640 but that was our life. 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:29.960 That was you and I talking about it. It wasn't Disney. 0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:33.199 It was I'm a Van, Pete the friend Pete, Pete. 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:34.920 It couldn't have been Brink, you know, but it could 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:35.559 have been Pete. 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:37.040 He gives you his shoes. 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:40.600 Now we might be looking into a little bit like Cinderella, I. 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:43.920 Mean, take on it. That would have basically gone that 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:45.200 way maybe. 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:48.240 And you know what, in real life, I actually did 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:49.840 have a little crush on Patrick. 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:50.560 Oh. 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:52.080 I think that probably showed through. 0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:56.400 He was just the sweetest, sweetest kid, like just the 0:11:56.520 --> 0:12:01.360 nicest kid, and we really got along and so oh yeah, 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:05.080 I mean I think what I love about that movie 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:08.840 is that even if there was any of that, they 0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:14.280 just the characters themselves I think prioritized friendship, yeah, more 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:20.160 than anything, and it was really about maintaining that friendship 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:22.439 and that bond, and like, I think that's one of 0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:25.280 the reasons why the movie was so popular, because people 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:28.160 really believe that all these characters really cared about each other, 0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:30.760 you know, and were really really close. 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:33.480 You definitely looked like a group of friends and we 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:34.680 kind of were offset. 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:35.240 Yeah. 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:36.480 Well that's what I was gonna say, is do you 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:38.480 remember the first time you got to meet the rest 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:39.800 of the crew? I mean, do you remember the first 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:41.280 time they put you all together? It's like, all right, 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:43.000 you're cast, this is your team. 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:43.800 What was that like? 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:46.480 Yeah, I believe it was the same day as the 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:49.479 as the skating test. 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:52.080 We were all there because we were all testing, so 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:56.800 I know Patrick was there. Eric may have already been cast, actually, 0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:01.880 but yeah, I think the other Yeah, I think we 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:04.520 were all there, and that was the first day that 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:06.880 I met them. And of course I was like, oh 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:08.160 my god, they're all so cute. 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:12.960 I have to look cool. I can't don't fall. 0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:13.680 Don't fall. 0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:16.400 The nineties middle part were really on point with the hair. 0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:19.800 Oh yeah, the long nineties middle. 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:22.640 Part, the greasy like I didn't really do it, I 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:23.520 didn't really wash it. 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:25.079 Oh my gosh. It was so so. 0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:27.040 Cute but okay. 0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:29.320 But this brings me to the next question, which is, like, 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:36.280 how does it feel to outshine literally one of the 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:39.199 heart throbs of the era at that point? 0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:43.240 You outshine everybody? Really, Oh god, you stole that movie. 0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:45.760 We said that during the pod you stole that movie. 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:50.040 And a rebuttal question is how much did people hate 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:53.360 you for it? Because I feel like every teenage girl 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:56.840 at that time was like, oh, well. 0:13:56.679 --> 0:13:57.640 I can roller blade. 0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:00.480 They probably all got their rollerblades out started going like 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:03.640 and in your in their mind they were competing against Gabrielle. 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:07.880 Yeah, they had I had so many. I still have 0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:11.960 young girls now. Well they're in their twenties now, obviously, 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:15.040 like you know, but I still have them tell me, 0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:18.920 like I started rollerblading because of Gabriella, Like Gabriella was 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:22.160 the goat in that movie. And again like I don't 0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:26.360 even think it occurred to me because to me, that 0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:28.800 movie was about Eric Bundton, you know what I mean. 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:34.640 And until Gabriella hit the screen, girl, yeah, you guys. 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:38.000 Meant to be I didn't see it like that. 0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:42.720 But and I definitely didn't get any any uh any 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:46.479 hate from that, I think because guys. 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:48.520 Don't really respond like that. If it was a cast 0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:51.400 of a bunch of girls, that's a different story, right, 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:55.960 I have story, but with all the guys. 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:59.360 Now, so we we heard it shot in It was 0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:02.440 shot in l A and also in Washington, right. 0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:06.120 I did not go to Washington, So okay, maybe yeah, 0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:07.800 maybe that was maybe Eric. 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:09.640 So how long did you shoot in LA for? 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:16.320 I want to say, gosh, guys, that was a long 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:18.080 time ago, but I want to say it was like 0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:21.040 at least two months, Like that was one of the 0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:22.040 longer shoots. 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:23.960 Yeah, that was one of the longer shoots because of 0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:26.840 all the skating stuff. We had a lot of prep 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:29.840 on that frame before we even started shooting stuff. 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:34.400 So yeah, two months and you're skating every day. 0:15:34.440 --> 0:15:36.800 I have to imagine, essentially, unless you were one of 0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:39.200 the choir scenes, you're on Broadways all day long. 0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:40.760 Yeah, all day long. 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:44.000 And it would take so long because they had to 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:44.800 do our stuff. 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:48.200 Then they had to do the stuff with the stunt 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:50.840 doubles and then bring us back in and you know, 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:54.200 and get different angles of stuff and so but again, 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:56.200 I was a kid, I was young. 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:56.800 I loved it. 0:15:56.880 --> 0:15:59.200 I mean sometimes we would skate off and they would 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:01.000 have to come find it because we wouldn't be in 0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:04.560 anywhere near set because we're like, we're skating, we're playing, 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:07.120 we're hanging out, you know. Like it was just a 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:08.960 big hangout every day. 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:11.120 So you were you were close. Then you were close 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:12.880 with the rest of the cast. You guys all get along. 0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:17.120 With everybody, with everybody. We everybody was We were really friendly. 0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:20.480 Everyone was really nice and we really got along. We 0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:22.720 even went to Eric didn't come with us, but I 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:26.960 think was it just Pat and o'patrick and oh god, 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:28.680 I can't remember the other kid's name. 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:32.400 We went to a water park like one of our 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:33.040 days off. 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:36.440 The kid. 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:39.720 Oh, he didn't come with us, but I loved him too. 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:44.600 I love that guy now, I love him. No, No, no, 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:45.960 he didn't come, but I think it was just me, 0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:48.800 Patrick and one of the other kids.

It had to be like 0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:53.600 a thick bank but tank top under a spaghetti strap 0:19:53.600 --> 0:19:55.920 tank top.

I was like, there 0:20:14.760 --> 0:20:20.440 were so many times, especially Eric's character Brink, who didn't 0:20:20.480 --> 0:20:21.920 have his helmet fastened. 0:20:23.000 --> 0:20:27.280 Safety issue, safety issue, the entire. 0:20:27.080 --> 0:20:31.000 Time going down Like what did they say, one hundred 0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:33.560 and fifty miles down that mountain or that that hill 0:20:34.920 --> 0:20:38.399 not no safety, no safety, nobody cared. All that mattered 0:20:38.480 --> 0:20:39.760 was that his hair stayed. 0:20:40.119 --> 0:20:42.719 Again, you got to make sure the spaghetti strap is 0:20:42.760 --> 0:20:43.679 over the other strap. 0:20:43.720 --> 0:20:47.280 But forget spaghetti strap must be covering not too much shoulder, 0:20:47.920 --> 0:20:53.679 not too much shoulder, can't Okay, did anyone, Well, I 0:20:53.680 --> 0:20:56.080 guess you weren't around really any of the any like 0:20:56.160 --> 0:20:58.920 a lot of young ladies.

We were like, hey, we don't say that, 0:29:57.360 --> 0:30:00.320 we don't say that, but now anytime we is it 0:30:00.320 --> 0:30:01.000 in any. 0:30:00.800 --> 0:30:03.560 Way now they call that that, I don't say that word. 0:30:04.400 --> 0:30:07.680 That is so good, oh man, But it's too hard 0:30:07.720 --> 0:30:09.400 to explain the difference. 0:30:09.560 --> 0:30:12.680 You need to have them just flipped the script on you. 0:30:13.200 --> 0:30:18.240 Right all the time, man, this parenting thing.

I was really impressed 0:30:39.960 --> 0:30:42.800 with her. And then Jamie Lee was really sweet. She 0:30:42.880 --> 0:30:45.320 was everybody's mom. She was just everybody's mom on set. 0:30:45.760 --> 0:30:49.640 Was she I've met her randomly at a dance competition 0:30:49.760 --> 0:30:52.040 and she was so sweet and me, imagine how many 0:30:52.080 --> 0:30:54.200 kids were there, her daughter was there to dance. She 0:30:54.240 --> 0:30:57.640 was so respectful to all the other dancers, and she 0:30:57.680 --> 0:31:00.560 just seemed like everyone's mom. That's exactly now, you just 0:31:00.720 --> 0:31:03.360 explained it is exactly how she came off in a 0:31:03.400 --> 0:31:06.680 brief meeting. What about so growing up there was such 0:31:07.240 --> 0:31:12.880 little amount of like the Puerto Rican representation within TV 0:31:13.040 --> 0:31:13.640 and movies. 0:31:13.880 --> 0:31:16.680 Did you have anyone growing up that you really. 0:31:16.400 --> 0:31:19.920 Looked up to or aspired to be, you know, as 0:31:19.960 --> 0:31:21.760 far as career wise. 0:31:22.520 --> 0:31:23.600 Well, other than my sister. 0:31:23.760 --> 0:31:26.400 My sister started acting before I did, which is which 0:31:26.480 --> 0:31:30.160 made me want to be on screen. Okay, and then 0:31:31.120 --> 0:31:34.840 there was also glorious Steffan. So I wanted to sing 0:31:34.880 --> 0:31:37.360 more than anything before I wanted to act. I wanted 0:31:37.400 --> 0:31:39.800 to sing.

But if 0:39:14.160 --> 0:39:17.160 you had to pick one and only one, you could 0:39:17.200 --> 0:39:19.400 only act for the rest of your life or sing 0:39:19.440 --> 0:39:21.279 for the rest of your life, which one do you take? 0:39:24.560 --> 0:39:26.200 It's like picking between your kids, right. 0:39:28.000 --> 0:39:33.680 Yeah, well that's that nice, except everybody knows the answer. 0:39:33.680 --> 0:39:34.399 You just don't want to say. 0:39:34.760 --> 0:39:42.839 But I would say act, okay, okay, because as much 0:39:42.840 --> 0:39:47.359 as I love to sing, I'm not an artist. I 0:39:47.440 --> 0:39:51.360 never loved the everything that came with singing. I didn't 0:39:51.360 --> 0:39:54.759 love it as much as I love acting. I'm not 0:39:55.120 --> 0:39:58.040 I'm not as good at that as I feel like confident, 0:39:58.200 --> 0:40:02.880 comfortable and confident, So it would it would definitely be acting, Okay. 0:40:03.280 --> 0:40:05.480 Singing is more of a hobby at this point. 0:40:06.280 --> 0:40:10.600 Yeah, I think that that's also it could dive into 0:40:11.719 --> 0:40:14.880 the world of the industry, like the different industries that 0:40:14.960 --> 0:40:18.480 those are, Like the music industry is so vastly different 0:40:18.520 --> 0:40:22.120 than the industry of acting, and you know, the people 0:40:22.160 --> 0:40:25.160 that are involved, the different things that you have to 0:40:25.200 --> 0:40:27.640 go to versus you know, being an artist or being 0:40:27.680 --> 0:40:31.080 a character in a movie or TV show. 0:40:31.520 --> 0:40:35.320 But you do have two gorgeous daughters. 0:40:35.640 --> 0:40:39.200 Are you gonna let them get into acting if they 0:40:39.200 --> 0:40:42.000 want to? Do they have any desire to say? I 0:40:42.000 --> 0:40:45.000 know they're young, I know they're young, but how do 0:40:45.040 --> 0:40:47.920 you feel about that? Knowing you were young in the industry. 0:40:48.040 --> 0:40:54.120 You know, I've thought about that so much. My husband 0:40:54.160 --> 0:40:55.160 and I have talked about it. 0:40:55.440 --> 0:40:58.680 Yeah, because definitely at least one of them is showing 0:40:58.760 --> 0:41:10.040 some real r risted just sort of natural talent in uh, performing, dancing, singing, 0:41:10.280 --> 0:41:15.760 just the personality that like loving the camera, the attention, 0:41:16.000 --> 0:41:16.360 all of that. 0:41:16.520 --> 0:41:18.200 Oh you can spot it too, can't you. 0:41:18.200 --> 0:41:20.120 You just see you see it coming where it's like, oh, 0:41:20.160 --> 0:41:21.279 there it is, You've got it. 0:41:22.320 --> 0:41:23.480 Yeah, yeah, yep, yep. 0:41:24.000 --> 0:41:27.680 And so you know, I think about how my mom 0:41:27.760 --> 0:41:30.480 dealt with it, and I actually think my mom did 0:41:30.480 --> 0:41:34.440 a really good job of balancing my me having a 0:41:34.560 --> 0:41:41.160 childhood with still supporting and acknowledging my gifts and my 0:41:41.160 --> 0:41:43.560 my like desire to perform. 0:41:44.040 --> 0:41:46.680 Like she never snuffed that out, she never ignored it. 0:41:46.719 --> 0:41:49.799 But then also she she had boundaries and she wasn't 0:41:49.840 --> 0:41:54.480 afraid to make the best decision for me, not just okay, 0:41:54.520 --> 0:41:57.759 what's gonna She wasn't concerned with me being famous or rich. 0:41:59.640 --> 0:41:59.880 And so. 0:42:01.520 --> 0:42:05.359 I think I had a good example of like, if 0:42:05.400 --> 0:42:07.960 we did do that, and again, it has to be. 0:42:07.920 --> 0:42:09.239 Something like my husband. 0:42:08.960 --> 0:42:11.799 And I would agree upon and all that we would 0:42:11.880 --> 0:42:17.000 never we would never want to stifle or like be 0:42:17.200 --> 0:42:21.400 unsupportive of something that so clearly our child desires and 0:42:21.560 --> 0:42:22.360 is good at, you know. 0:42:22.480 --> 0:42:25.120 But it's it's a hard balance though, it is. 0:42:25.160 --> 0:42:30.000 It's a matter of like when and and and how, 0:42:30.520 --> 0:42:33.879 because I've worked not only am I a child after, 0:42:34.040 --> 0:42:37.719 but I've worked with children now as an adult, and 0:42:37.800 --> 0:42:40.640 I see how hard it is for them to comprehend, 0:42:40.760 --> 0:42:45.080 especially the younger they are, that you know, once they're 0:42:45.320 --> 0:42:49.480 when it's once it's not fun anymore, and you still 0:42:49.480 --> 0:42:54.040 have five hours left unset, right, you know, kind of 0:42:54.080 --> 0:42:56.600 what that does to them that they don't understand the 0:42:56.760 --> 0:42:59.960 concept of work and a job and needing to be 0:43:00.160 --> 0:43:01.640 somewhere from this time to this time. 0:43:02.520 --> 0:43:04.239 And I kind of feel like they shouldn't have to. 0:43:04.640 --> 0:43:10.759 So that's the part that to me, you know, is 0:43:10.800 --> 0:43:13.040 one of the reasons why I'm a little I'm hesitant 0:43:13.160 --> 0:43:17.640 to to like push them in myself, you know, because 0:43:17.640 --> 0:43:21.480 we've thought about modeling, you know, you know, commercials and 0:43:21.520 --> 0:43:24.160 things like that, but I'm like, that's the part that 0:43:24.239 --> 0:43:27.480 I'm just not sure about. You know, when when toddlers 0:43:27.480 --> 0:43:29.759 are done, they're just done, and. 0:43:29.680 --> 0:43:33.359 Then we get bribing them with candy and TV and it. 0:43:33.440 --> 0:43:37.560 Just gets a whole different to bribe them with and 0:43:37.600 --> 0:43:40.000 you're just like yeah, you know, and then you're just 0:43:40.120 --> 0:43:44.280 and then you're threatening their lives. 0:43:44.560 --> 0:43:48.000 It's too tough, there is, I think, especially with the age, 0:43:48.000 --> 0:43:50.160 like you said, five and three, that's still really young. 0:43:50.200 --> 0:43:51.879 I think, you know, I have a three year old 0:43:51.920 --> 0:43:54.799 and and same thing. She's got a lot of personality. 0:43:54.840 --> 0:43:57.640 But what I think of is the drive up there, 0:43:58.280 --> 0:44:01.960 you know, up to up to the audition, and then 0:44:02.040 --> 0:44:04.840 the chance of whether or not that is a moment 0:44:04.960 --> 0:44:07.400 she feels like turning it on and doing what she 0:44:07.480 --> 0:44:11.080 does for mommy all day. Yeah that's yeah, no, no, 0:44:11.200 --> 0:44:13.880 thank you, And I have wasted now however much time 0:44:14.080 --> 0:44:15.279 and stress to get there. 0:44:15.320 --> 0:44:16.040 It's just tough. 0:44:16.200 --> 0:44:18.480 And then if she does book it right, then you're 0:44:18.520 --> 0:44:21.200 on set now you now it's everyone's gonna look at 0:44:21.200 --> 0:44:23.560 you right as a parent. If they are not on 0:44:23.800 --> 0:44:25.400 it's tough. 0:44:25.480 --> 0:44:27.920 So it is. Age is a big difference, you know. 0:44:28.080 --> 0:44:30.839 Oh yeah, no, my my daughter, my stepdaughter, she never 0:44:30.880 --> 0:44:32.839 wanted to act, but she's four hundred and eight months old, 0:44:32.920 --> 0:44:33.960 so it's not that big a deal. 0:44:34.160 --> 0:44:36.560 Yeah, she could probably handle it at that age. 0:44:36.800 --> 0:44:40.080 She could probably do it now. Yeah, she's thirty three. 0:44:40.320 --> 0:44:45.040 But so just I can't do that math well, oh yeah, no, 0:44:45.120 --> 0:44:46.000 I just do the maths. 0:44:46.160 --> 0:44:48.080 I just tell people she's she's very cute. She's four 0:44:48.160 --> 0:44:49.799 hundred and eight months. 0:44:51.080 --> 0:44:54.279 So we want to wrap up with Brink, which is 0:44:54.320 --> 0:44:57.439 why we're here, and it's had this incredible resurgence. So 0:44:57.680 --> 0:45:02.000 what's going on in Gabrielle's life in Brink two. 0:45:02.560 --> 0:45:03.680 I'm just curious. 0:45:06.840 --> 0:45:08.480 That's a good question. 0:45:11.960 --> 0:45:12.160 You know. 0:45:12.640 --> 0:45:18.040 I think her and Peter got married and had some kids. 0:45:19.640 --> 0:45:21.840 Okay, I am for that. 0:45:23.320 --> 0:45:23.719 For it. 0:45:25.520 --> 0:45:28.160 I think their kids. 0:45:28.280 --> 0:45:30.280 I think one of them skates, and I think another 0:45:30.320 --> 0:45:34.000 one does a completely different sport. And I think they 0:45:34.120 --> 0:45:36.600 run something like a kind of like a y m 0:45:36.680 --> 0:45:38.520 c A for for kids. 0:45:38.600 --> 0:45:39.440 It's not like a y m. 0:45:39.480 --> 0:45:41.120 C A, but I think they have something like that 0:45:41.160 --> 0:45:43.839 for kids who who want to learn to skate and 0:45:43.840 --> 0:45:45.120 do all kinds of sports. 0:45:45.320 --> 0:45:47.680 And I think I think that's what she does. 0:45:47.760 --> 0:45:50.920 Now, all right, that is a great, Well, that's I 0:45:50.960 --> 0:45:54.440 would put her as a professional like skater that you 0:45:54.480 --> 0:45:57.640 know now has her own women's professional skating team. 0:45:57.680 --> 0:46:01.600 But we could do you're like that, you. 0:46:01.600 --> 0:46:07.240 Know what, that's definitely more. Now, that's definitely more now. 0:46:07.440 --> 0:46:11.560 I mean, but me, I love the family life. 0:46:11.719 --> 0:46:14.400 I love having kids, and I love being able to 0:46:14.520 --> 0:46:21.800 like I love being able to create a platform for them, 0:46:21.840 --> 0:46:23.760 like the next generation, to do something. 0:46:23.840 --> 0:46:25.440 So that's why I think I like that story. 0:46:25.840 --> 0:46:26.120 Cool. 0:46:26.120 --> 0:46:28.720 But I mean, maybe they could be both. 0:46:29.680 --> 0:46:33.160 She can have her own skating coy and run. 0:46:33.560 --> 0:46:34.839 We're trademarking that right now. 0:46:34.840 --> 0:46:37.719 By the way, bring Trade, We're trademarking it right now. 0:46:37.760 --> 0:46:39.960 That's our movie.
