But we'll get into that. 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:08.480 So that is. 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:09.560 Usually our first question. 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:11.840 What's your origin story, How did you become an actor 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:14.680 and how did you find yourself in the business of show. 0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:19.600 Yeah, so my mom is also an actress. She went 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:23.040 to school for it and got her degree. And when 0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:26.840 my sister and I were very little, my mom was, 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:28.840 you know, going to auditions, and there was one that 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:31.880 was like, if you have your own kids, bring them 0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:35.040 in that will like help you with this commercial or whatever. 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:37.680 The great and so she's like, oh, perfect, my kids 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:40.440 are so great. So she brought us in and I 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:41.840 had a lot of fun and my mom was like, 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:44.040 let's get you some auditions, maybe we can hook you 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:47.080 up with the agent. And my sister was like, yeah, 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:50.600 it's not for me. She that she was like, yeah, 0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:54.000 I'm not really that dramatic. I'm more into sports. And 0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:55.840 I was like, I would love to cry on camera, 0:03:55.960 --> 0:04:00.640 Let's do it. So I just started auditioning and it 0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:03.360 kind of just got the ball rolling. I'm from North 0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:06.680 Carolina and I still live here in Charlotte, and so 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:09.760 it's been very like a great blessing to be able 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:12.960 to be here and like submit tapes and still like 0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:17.000 be seen in the industry even though I'm which there 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:19.440 is a lot of stuff happening over here, but how 0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:22.520 this world you can be anywhere and still you know, 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:28.120 send in tapes. And so yeah, I was in high 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:32.400 school when I auditioned for Summer Party, and I didn't 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:34.560 hear about like I was in that waiting time, like 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:36.920 after I had done the tape and I did a 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:41.719 zoom with I think it was Emmy and Alex who 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:43.880 were and maybe it was all three of us, so 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:47.720 the girls from it like wow. And so it was 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:51.239 in Veronica the director and it was in that period 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:53.520 of like waiting and I was like, really nervous, but 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:56.919 I was homecoming princess and a cheerleader, and so I 0:04:56.960 --> 0:05:00.360 got to do all of like that four like high 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:03.839 school like events. And then right after it, I was 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:06.200 at my best friends volleyball game and my dad walked 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:08.279 in and was like, we need to leave tomorrow, and 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:12.840 I was like, are you serious, We're driving, let's go. 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:22.920 So you were actually living a dcom'oming prince and then 0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:24.360 you get to actually be in a dcom. 0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:27.680 That is such a good point as far as how 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:32.000 the industry has changed, because so many back when Will 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:34.120 and I were auditioning, if you were living in North 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:36.480 Carolina and you had an agent and things were starting 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:39.080 to kind of kick up for you, you and at 0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:42.599 least one of your chaperones would have to basically either 0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:45.400 moved to New York or move to LA to actually 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:48.200 really pursue the career. So then you kind of have 0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:50.760 to put your home life to the side for a bit, 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:54.240 or at least for like pilot season or things like that, 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:57.120 where you'd be face to face with these you know, 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:02.880 big career changers, these you know talent scouts, the casting directors, 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:05.400 And that's so amazing that you've gotten to have the 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:07.240 chance of have the best of both worlds. You're living 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:08.600 Anna about Danna's Live Girl. 0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:09.400 That's how I. 0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:11.240 Thank you. 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:13.920 I feel so blessed, and it's it's really been cool. 0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:16.200 And my friends that I've grown up with here, I've 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:18.200 known them like been at the same school with them 0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:21.000 since kindergarten, and so it's been cool to be able 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:23.919 to have the opportunity to have one foot in both worlds. 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:26.839 Literally, yes, okay, I've got I've got to go straight 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:29.440 to like one of my biggest questions. I'm just dying. 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:34.120 I've thought about it almost the entire time. Watch when 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:37.800 you were doing the casting, at what point, Well, first, 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:40.160 did they actually make you shave your eyebrow? 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:42.000 No? 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:44.960 Okay, okay, I did. 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:47.560 Hear that like in the producer's room, Like when they 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:50.359 were talking about it, a lot of the producers were like, 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:53.320 so we'll have her shave her eyebrow. Do this, And 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:56.159 then like one of the women was like, well, we're 0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:58.280 not gonna make this fifteen year old girl shaver eye. 0:06:58.839 --> 0:06:59.840 We can't do that. 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:02.400 But it was like almost like a given that they 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:05.040 were like, oh, yeah, she'll shave her eyebrow. And someone 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:07.160 I don't know who it was, but someone was like, no, no, no, 0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:08.680 we're not going to make her do that. 0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:11.600 Yes exactly. 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:15.720 I love that she that she advocated for you for that, 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:18.240 because then that was my next question, like what was 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:21.000 the process now that you're done with the movie to 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:24.920 regrow your eyebrow? Like how do you shape it? Did 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:27.200 it come in natural form? Like that was like my 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:28.840 whole thing. So I'm so glad you didn't have to 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:31.600 go through that because yes, at fifteen, that would have 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:34.800 been a very hard thing to do. But now that 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:37.880 they've got such great makeup and everything, because it definitely 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:40.480 looked like it was gone. It did not look it 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:42.880 looked like you fully shaved it, and that was just 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:45.600 But even still, every day to walk around with no 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:49.160 eyebrow did it? Did you walk like go to just 0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:51.800 go to the restroom and wash your hands and realize, oh, yeah, 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:54.480 that's right, I don't have an eyebrow like that? Even still, 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:57.000 every day had to have been a little jarring. 0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:00.679 It was definitely like in the beginning, it was it 0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:04.200 took some getting used to and I would snapchat my 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:06.680 friends from home and be like I would like, go 0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:08.520 open my soundchat and then it pop up, be like 0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:10.400 oh yeah, and then I'd like send my friends picture 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:12.600 and I did crankle a lot of them. In the beginning, 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:14.880 I was like why I actually had to do it, 0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:18.400 But I ended up getting used to it, and it 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:21.640 was kind of like cool to be able to you know, 0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:25.120 like see what that would be like, yeah, having to 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:26.680 do that, but exactly. 0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:30.120 Then wash it off, washed it off like that you 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:32.679 said that you you know, you're still talking to your friends. 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:33.520 You grew up with all your friends. 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:36.560 You obviously have like a great friendship base, back home, 0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:39.240 family base, you know, the whole support system. But when 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:42.640 I was a kid growing up and auditioning, it still 0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:44.720 made you weird that you were the actor kid. 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:47.760 Did you ever grow up? I mean, was was it? 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:50.280 Did you have that stigma on you at all in 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:52.120 school where it was like, oh, she's different, she's the 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:54.920 actor or that type of thing, or was everybody just 0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:57.240 totally cool with the career path that you had chosen. 0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:01.080 It was definitely a mix. I I had my best 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:04.520 friends that were close that I had known my whole life, 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:07.679 and then when you get to middle school. Actually in 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:11.240 middle school, my sixth and seventh grade year, I wasn't 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:13.880 in school because that was when I was like working 0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:17.920 these like two straight years. I did Christmas Chronicles and 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:21.440 then Clifford and then Christmas Chronicles two, and so I 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:23.480 wasn't in school. And then I came back in eighth 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:26.320 grade and it was COVID year. So it wasn't always 0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:29.640 in person, but high school it got a lot bigger 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:32.120 and there were a lot of newer kids, and it 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:35.880 definitely was that stigma of like, oh, like I know 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:38.600 who that is, Like you just can come and go 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:41.120 and a lot of people would just like walk by 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:42.640 and be like, yeah, let me get my let me 0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:43.280 get your autograph. 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:45.200 And it wasn't there. 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:48.000 It wasn't like bad, but there were always always be 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:50.160 someone making a comment and things like that. 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:53.280 There's always that girl that's a hater. You just can't 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:57.600 get rid of them. They are always around. It is tough, 0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:01.000 like it's a tough, tough role. I'm sure you went through. 0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:02.800 I did that when I was doing commercial. I went 0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:06.720 through one of my best friends finding out, oh I 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:12.000 did some job commercial, this that the other way, dance 0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:15.000 with somebody, and then it was like one of my 0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:18.120 stupid friends would say something to the wrong person. Then 0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:20.320 it was like, oh, yeah, she's not in that commercial. 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:22.160 Yeah right, And then finally the commercial and I just 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:23.800 have to be like, okay, whatever, I wasn't in it, 0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:26.600 you're right, And then it come out and be like okay, 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:29.360 well all right. So there's that. But so there is 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:31.440 those girls that just you can't get away from. 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:32.360 And honestly, if. 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:35.960 You go if you were this like kick ass soccer 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:39.840 player or whatever, like and doing big teams, you know, 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:43.360 like a big travel team, there be haters about that too. 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:46.400 It's just unfortunate that, you know, high school, junior high 0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:49.760 in high school, it is rough. Okay, it is not 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:53.000 and it is not safe in the streets on the 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:54.559 high school all of arts. 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:57.240 So Darby, looking at the. 0:10:57.280 --> 0:11:00.480 List of the people you've worked with, it's the only 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:04.680 word is insane for the just the sheer number of 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:07.280 amazing people you've worked with. And we can go through everything, 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:09.240 and I would love to go through kind of in order, 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:11.959 but just some of the names are like Julia Roberts 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:22.679 and Sean Penn, Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Zoe Kravitz, Laura Dern, Clifford. 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:24.280 The biggest one of it them all, Carl Russell, Goldie Hawn. 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:28.079 Now I'm just curious because obviously we're from very different generations, 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:30.920 But did you know who all these people were as 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:33.240 you were working with them? Or was your mom kind 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:35.679 of coming up going do you realize you're with Kurt 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:37.880 Russell and goldiehn and You're like, who, that's just the 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:41.080 people I'm working with? So did you did you realize 0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:44.240 the kind of caliber of actors that you were put amongst? 0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:48.880 Honestly, yes and no, so big little lies. I was 0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:51.920 eight and that was when I was Reese Witherspoon's daughter, 0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:55.480 and you know, also had scenes with Nicole Kidman and 0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:58.960 Zoe Kravitz, Laura Dern as you mentioned, and Meryl Streep 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:03.080 was in season two, which reason one. I was eight 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:06.400 and I had no idea. I was like, oh, like, 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:08.160 these are so nice. I was like, mom, why are 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:12.480 you so nervous? Like these are just lovely women playing 0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:15.880 my mom? And I honestly I didn't even know. And 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:18.400 then season two rolled around, I was oh, I was 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:21.400 a few years older, and I was like, okay, I 0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:23.640 do know where else stream? And like then I obviously 0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:27.080 knew the women around me, like you know, my common 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:31.080 like since came about but I was like, this is 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:36.280 real street. But they were all so you know, professional, 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:39.080 and so amazing to me and really treated me like 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:42.320 you know, a peer, and like I wasn't, you know, 0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:44.840 just a little girl, like I don't want to like 0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:47.080 their mom's gonna fangirl over me, blah blah blah blah. 0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:50.400 But they were so generous and kind and gave time 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:52.760 for you know, each one of my family members when 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:56.520 they would come and visit and everything, and it is 0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:59.240 kind of cool that even Christmas chronicles Kurt Rustle and 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:01.800 going on. I was like, awesome, like great to be. 0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:07.000 But my Paul, Paul, my grandfather, he loves Kirt Russell 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:09.800 and so he would He actually did come to set 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:11.920 and got to meet him, which was really special, but 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:16.600 he was like boond vangirling. Honestly, I was like, really, okay, 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:17.560 that would have been me. 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:18.400 That would have been me. 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:20.440 Now I'm just realizing, Darby, I'm probably closer and east 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:22.320 to your grandfather than your dad mom. 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:25.040 So that's that's horrifying. But that's all right. 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:27.880 Can you tell talk a little bit about especially as 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:29.719 a kid, you know, what's the difference between being on 0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:31.920 a set like big Little Lives with all the adults 0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:34.440 and being on a set like Clifford, which is more 0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:35.400 kid based. 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:40.120 Right, Yes, I mean they were both great experiences, but 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:45.199 it is different when you're around more like mostly adults 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:48.439 and big little lives. I wasn't you know, a Clifford. 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:50.920 It was me like every single day I was working 0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:52.960 a lot and big lies. I was more in and out. 0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:58.440 But it definitely, you know, everyone has been so kind, 0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:03.920 but growing up with adults from a young age has 0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:07.800 been you know, honestly a blessing too, because I feel like, 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:11.920 but sometimes with high school not a curse, but being 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:13.840 in high school it made it a little bit more 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:18.240 hard of like, you know, it was just like I 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:20.840 feel like, like, what's it just made high school a 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:21.960 little bit harder to be like. 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:25.480 Around you know, younger kids with what they were talking 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:26.760 about that kind of. 0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:29.640 Stuff, which I still felt like I was one of 0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:32.760 them and obviously fit in. But it has been great 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:35.840 to be able to grow up alongside such adults that 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:39.000 could really guide me in life experiences and you know, 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:42.160 be such great role models, and even being in this 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:45.240 line of work that I love so much at such 0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:49.320 a young age has been such an amazing blessing, and 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:51.480 everyone who I've worked with has like welcomed me with 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:53.640 open arms and been like, I'll be in your corner 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:56.480 if you ever need anything like and being able to 0:14:56.520 --> 0:14:58.440 help me grow in this industry as well. 0:14:58.920 --> 0:14:59.760 That's great. Yeah, it is. 0:14:59.840 --> 0:15:00.800 It's it's strange. 0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:02.080 It's a very. 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:05.880 Strange job to be a young actor because it is 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:07.960 you on a Tuesday and a Wednesday, on a set, 0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:11.160 you are treated more like an adult. You have a job, 0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:14.120 your expected responsibilities, and then you go back to school 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:15.800 on Thursday and you look around at other people your 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:17.160 age and you kind of realize. 0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:20.520 It's not the same. It's just it's just not the same. 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:24.080 You're in this whole new category of you're still a kid, 0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:27.840 but you've also seen the world through more adult eyes. 0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:31.240 And then you see your friends sometimes playing a fool 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:32.560 at fifteen, and you're kind of. 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:34.960 Like, yeah, I'm already over that. 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:37.960 So yeah, no, I get I get what you're saying. 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:39.160 It's very strange, but. 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:42.360 I do love that you're still very much surrounded by it, 0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:45.680 because there is a difference. I will say, because I continued, 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:48.640 I graduated all the way through high school while auditioning 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:51.880 and you know, doing a lot of work and things 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:54.320 like that. And I will say there was a difference 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:57.680 between my friends that were homeschooled that were I knew 0:15:57.720 --> 0:16:00.600 in the industry versus my friends that went to school 0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:03.920 and the industry kids kind of had one goal, like 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:06.080 we all had a common goal, right, And then I 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:09.200 had friends that you know, wanted to be doctors, wanted 0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:11.120 to be athletes. You know, there was like a lot 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:14.200 more diverse. So I love that you're getting both both worlds. 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:17.200 I've I've always been very very fortunate to look back 0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:19.960 and feel like I got a good sense of a 0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:22.160 kid that like knew they wanted to be an actor, 0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:23.920 had this one goal. And then I had kids that 0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:26.640 like didn't really some of them just didn't even know. Man, 0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:29.080 they didn't even figure it out. They're halfway through college 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:31.360 and some of them, I'm like, did you ever figure 0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:31.800 that out? 0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:32.040 You know? 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:35.320 So I do love that you have such a wide, 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:38.440 versatile group of people that are around you. And then 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:40.520 you also had some really it sounds like some really 0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:43.640 great you know, people that were helping you figure it 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:46.200 out as an adult too, Like give you knew that mentorship? 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:48.280 That is wonderful. And I mean to be able to 0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:51.840 say like Reese Witherspoon, she follows you on ig like 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:56.160 what my god? Like that is cool as well? 0:16:58.400 --> 0:17:02.840 It is okay, So you get the script for slumber Party. 0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:07.400 Now at this point, had you heard or seen the Hangover? 0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:12.600 I have heard of it, but I haven't watched it, okay. 0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:16.119 So I remember getting the script and I read it immediately, 0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:18.280 and one sitting I was like laying in my bed. 0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:20.560 I read it and I was laughing out loud, and 0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:25.600 my parents were like, she's still reading me out across 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:29.159 the house laughing out loud. And I jumped up and 0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:31.439 I was like, Mom, you dad, you have to read 0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:34.640 this right now, like I'm doing this. I am doing this. 0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:38.879 But also I was like I haven't seen the Hangover. 0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:41.320 But my parents were like, this is very similar to 0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:43.080 the Hangover, and I was like, I don't care. 0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:43.760 I love it. 0:17:44.520 --> 0:17:47.239 I need I'm sure I'll love it if it's like this. 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:51.280 But I remember it was like the first week of 0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:53.240 me being on set. My mom and I were in 0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:55.560 our hotel and we like called it up and watched 0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:58.000 I think we watched like maybe we watched like the 0:17:58.040 --> 0:18:02.360 two first two back to back. I was really enjoying 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:05.960 just like putting together all the parallels and a lot 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:06.560 of fun. 0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:09.320 As you grew up? Were you a Disney Like? What 0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:11.320 generation are you?

I loved Disney Channel like that was 0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:35.320 my jam. High School Musical two was the first movie 0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:39.080 I saw in theaters actually nice and I didn't last 0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:41.159 long until I was down at the front doing a 0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:46.040 bunch of dances and sing. But High School mus School 0:18:46.040 --> 0:18:49.679 definitely was a big thing. Hannah Montana but mostly like 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:52.920 Hannah Montana the movie because the show was coming out. 0:18:53.280 --> 0:18:56.400 I think the show came out before I was bored. Yeah, 0:18:56.480 --> 0:19:00.320 the show was coming out. I would watch it grow up, 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:03.600 But the movie came out like right at that perfect age. 0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:07.600 I loved THEO or the hand Montana movie. 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:11.160 High School Musical was Camp Rock out during that time? 0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:15.080 Yes, Camp Rock and the good.
