So you know 2 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 1: her from well Ill she's in Vampire Diaries, but she 3 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 1: also was in that Netflix movie that came out her 4 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 1: on Christmas, Love Hard, and then she's in Redeeming Love, 5 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,279 Speaker 1: which just hit theaters and I watched that and it's 6 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,320 Speaker 1: like such a good movie. Morgan, you know Nina from 7 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 1: I can't say her name, Nina Dobrev from I mean 8 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 1: I follow her on Socials but also Vampire Diaries. In Degrassi, 9 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: she has twenty five million followers. Wow, yeah, that's a superstar. 10 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 1: I don't think I would recognize her. What I that's 11 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 1: crazy that somebody can be so famous to a part. 12 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: But that's that's the earth, now. Yeah, some people are 13 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 1: so famous to some and not at all to others. 14 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 1: But I don't watch these kinds of shows, so I 15 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: get it. But man, she's wildly famous. Yeah. I saw 16 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 1: she was on Ellen the other day and I guess 17 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: she's has a partnership with Julian Huff and they now 18 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 1: have like a wine business together too. Okay, here's Amy 19 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: and Morgan interviewing Nina Dobre, which we're good about this, Yeah, 20 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: so good all right, here we go on the Bobby 21 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: Bones Show.

We also have Morgan 23 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: number two O, our web girl, on and she's going 24 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 1: to bring you some questions in a minute that are 25 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 1: from our listeners. But I gotta say I saw Redeeming 26 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: Love and I'm obsessed with it. Thank you so much. 27 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 1: I'm glad you liked it. Is that something where you 28 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: read the book before you ever were approached or decided 29 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: to do the project, and you're like, oh, I've got 30 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 1: to do this, this is for me, or how did 31 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: that come about? Actually, no, I hadn't read the book. 32 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: I wasn't familiar with it. But of course, once DJ Cursa, 33 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: the director of the movie who I worked has previously 34 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 1: called me and Semi the script, I fell in love 35 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: with the story, and I fell in love with the 36 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: themes in the movie. And I love South Africa, which 37 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: is where we shot the movie, so it felt like 38 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: a no brainer. One of my friends read that book, 39 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: that's where I first learned about it, and she said 40 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: that it's a book that completely changed her view of 41 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: God more than like any other book. She's ever read, 42 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: and she's read it four times, so she also was 43 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: super pumped about the movie. It takes place. What year 44 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: is that, by the way, it takes place in the 45 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 1: eighteen hundreds, if I'm not mistaken, I don't remember the 46 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 1: specific year, but sometimes in the eighteen hundreds. It was 47 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: really fun to put on all the costumes and really 48 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 1: transform into these characters. It makes it a lot easier. 49 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: It makes our job year as an actor to become 50 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 1: an embody a role. When you have a whole transformation 51 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 1: from more joke to hair and makeup, it's so different 52 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: than what you're used to. Have you watched the Yellowstone 53 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: prequel eighteen eighty three, I actually haven't a lot of 54 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: people have been bringing that up in the interviews, and 55 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: I feel like I need to watch it now because 56 00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: everyone's talking about it, But no, I haven't, no chance. Yeah, yeah, definitely. 57 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: The vibe of redeeming love was making me think of 58 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: Tim McGraw and Faith Hill and in that new show. 59 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 1: Another movie that I saw recently with you in well 60 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: actually a few months ago, but it was Love Hard 61 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: and I thought that was the most adorable Netflix movie ever. 62 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: And you know it's about catfishing, and I just didn't 63 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: know if you've ever dealt with anything like that in 64 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: your real life. Not really, because I've actually never been 65 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: on a dating app myself. I've been on them through 66 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: friends accounts just to play around, which is going to 67 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: clol when you think about it, because I'm playing with 68 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: their real lives. But but no, I've never actually been 69 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: in that scenario, thank goodness. My daughter is currently watching 70 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: Vampire Diaries. She's fourteen. So when I told her I 71 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: was going to be talking to you this morning before 72 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: she left for school, she was like, please tell her. 73 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: I said, Hi, I was just watching her yesterday, so 74 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,839 Speaker 1: I have to tell her hide back. Yeah, I get 75 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: that high in there from my daughter. Stashira, What role? 76 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: Because you've done lots of things, but you know, like 77 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: my daughter would recognize you from Vampire Diaries, I would 78 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: recognize you from other things. Like what role? Do you 79 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: get recognized the most for? I've been I mean, for 80 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: sure were Vampire Diaries by Landslide, That's what I'm most 81 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: known for, and I get stopped on the street the 82 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: most for. But recently because of Love Heart, I didn't 83 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: even realize I guess how many people watched it. I 84 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: should have assumed because Netflix is worldwide and and it 85 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: apparently performed really well globally for them, which is really exciting. 86 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 1: But I definitely I've been getting a lot of a 87 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: lot of people have been shopping me now because of that. 88 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: For all the different characters that you have played over time, like, 89 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 1: do you ever get so into a role that you 90 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: know you forget like in your real life you're not 91 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: that character, or do you even do what they call 92 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 1: method acting? You probably know more about that than I do. Yeah, 93 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: I mean it's a tricky thing because I don't identify 94 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: as someone who's a method actor, and I definitely don't 95 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: intend to do that, but I think it's sort of hard, 96 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: and whether people admit it or not, you naturally do 97 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: take on some of the characteristics of the role that 98 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: you're playing. And I remember when I was shooting Vampridary specifically, 99 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: like I was a young, kind of good girl at 100 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: the time, and when I started playing Catherine, I naturally 101 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 1: started to sort of embody her and kind of act 102 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: like her and did things as that character that then 103 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: gave me a confidence in my real life to be 104 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: more you know, spunky and a little darker and so 105 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,679 Speaker 1: I think it did bring it home with me, whether 106 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: I was aware of it or not. About any fashion 107 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 1: from Redeeming Love, you brought that with you, like the 108 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 1: corset or anything like that. I ripped that corset off 109 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 1: as soon as I possibly could when we started shooting 110 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: because it was so uncomfortable. I think, all course, it's 111 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: you know, you can't breathe. They're really beautiful and they 112 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 1: push the boobs up, which is always exciting, but they 113 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 1: weren't comfortable. So no, I didn't take anything back with me. 114 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 1: There was a really beautiful white custom dress at the 115 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 1: end of the movie that my character wears that I 116 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 1: wanted to take home, and they said that I could 117 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: take it home, but I don't think I ever got it. Morgan, 118 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: do you have some questions from the web? Yeah? I do. Okay, 119 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,840 Speaker 1: so Nina, you know, you're talking about Vampire Diaries and 120 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: in some of the fans of that show really want 121 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: to know do you ever plan to make an appearance 122 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 1: on the show Legacies? What a wonderful question. I'm not sure. 123 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: I mean, I think it depends on I don't want 124 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: to say never. Say you never say never, But at 125 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: this moment in time, I've had so many things going on. 126 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: I'm about to be for Europe to shoot a film, 127 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,080 Speaker 1: and I've been kind of all over the place, so 128 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: I don't know, schedule wise, if it's possible. But I 129 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: know that the show is a fan favorite and people 130 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: who watched Van Pioriays love it, and that a lot 131 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: of people from our show did make appearances. So we'll see. Well. 132 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: I think fans will be really excited to hear that. 133 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: Now you're talking about all the projects that you're doing. 134 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: How do you decide if a project is the right 135 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: fit for you, like now in your career, since you've 136 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: done so much. It really depends on three different factors 137 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: at this point. When I was younger, I would sort 138 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: of take whatever opportunity came my way because I wanted 139 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: to work and I wanted to grow my career and 140 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: every project to the next one. But now I really 141 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: make my decisions based on the character, the script overall, 142 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: and the filmmakers involved, because it's important to me to 143 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: tell impactful stories that affects people and that hopefully move 144 00:07:55,520 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: the needle. Or I have strong themes and can have 145 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: the audience go away with big takeaways that hopefully impact 146 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: their lives. And are socially conscious if possible. But female 147 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: like strong female characters are important to me and working 148 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: with billmakers that are inspirational, and that's kind of what 149 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: I make my decisions on. Yeah. And has there ever 150 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: been a project that you initially passed on that maybe 151 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: you went back to or maybe you passed on and 152 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: you just wish you maybe didn't pass on it. Of course. Yeah, 153 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: There's been tons of things that came and went. And 154 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: I mean you mentioned Yellowstone. I was a pre Yellowstone 155 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: and ended up not going for it. So I know 156 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: that's a great show and a fan favorite. And so 157 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: I also really believe in everything happening for a reason 158 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: and having an intended path that maybe you don't know about. 159 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 1: But everything works out exactly as it's supposed to what 160 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: it's supposed to, is my belief. Yeah, for sure. It 161 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,199 Speaker 1: sounds like Amy had a question too on that Yellowstone. 162 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,959 Speaker 1: Oh well, yeah, mostly I'm just obsessed with the Yellowstone 163 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 1: and now I need to know. I was like, oh, 164 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 1: it was Nina up for like Beth or Casey's whife 165 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 1: or do you even know? It was so long ago 166 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: that I don't even remember the name of the character. 167 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: And I haven't seen the show, but I didn't get 168 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: it and then pass on it. I didn't you an 169 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: audition for it because I don't remember why the reason was, 170 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 1: but I was just like, it doesn't feel right for me. Yeah. 171 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: Now you know there's other roles that you have done 172 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: that are you mentioned being really well known for Vampire Diaries, 173 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: you also did Degrassi, So for either of those, are 174 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: you still in touch with any of those fellow actors 175 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: because those were two really big shows for you. Yeah, 176 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: of course we all keep in touch, some more than others. 177 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: But when you spend so much time on set with everyone, 178 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: they become your family. So you definitely stay in touch afterwards. 179 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 1: If your lives get align, then everyone's doing so many 180 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,959 Speaker 1: different things, but we make an upper for sure well, 181 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: and I think the bigger part of that is Drake, 182 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: because that was Drake's big start. Now he's this massive artist. 183 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: Are you know, are you two still friends? I know 184 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 1: that's one that a lot of your fans want to 185 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: know too, for sure. Yeah. I mean, like I said, 186 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: his life is one in one rocket ship direction and 187 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: I'm in a different direction. So every now and then 188 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 1: our past crass and when we do see each other. 189 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: It's really bittersweet and like fun and we catch up, 190 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 1: but I don't I wouldn't say that we hang out 191 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: every week, No, but we keep in touch for sure. 192 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: Now sorry, I mean one more question from from the web. 193 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 1: You also mentioned that you know, you make sure you 194 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: take roles that are really impactful and emotional that people 195 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 1: can learn from. Is there any life lessons that you've 196 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: continued to you know, have in your life from characters 197 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: you've portrayed. Yeah, I mean with every role there's a 198 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: little nugget with love heart. For example, one of the 199 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: big themes was perfection and searching for perfection and taking 200 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 1: a step back, but for that character in particular, to 201 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,959 Speaker 1: realize that it's a little bit hypocritical to be looking 202 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: for perfection when she herself isn't perfect and no one 203 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: is perfect, and so it's about finding your flaws and 204 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 1: accepting them and accepting them and others And that's like, 205 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,079 Speaker 1: that was a big one for me. And then it's 206 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: redeeming love that seem of that movie is so powerful 207 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: and so beautiful, and it's it's about you know, the 208 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: struggles of life and overcoming them with the people that 209 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: you love and choosing that person that you want to 210 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,439 Speaker 1: go through the difficult times with and someone who will 211 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: choose you over and over again, no matter how flawed 212 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 1: you are, and not really settling until you find that person. 213 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: I love that, Amy, go ahead, I'm all done over here. 214 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: Well no, I mean on that note, I'll just encourage 215 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 1: listeners to check out Redeeming lovemovie dot com because I 216 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 1: watched it.
