What do Skyler Gisondo, Austin Abrams, Olivia Rodrigo, and Ayo Edebiri all have in common?

Well, simply that everyone’s obsessed with them and their infectious energy! The people have spoken, these are our new universal sweethearts and thankfully they all have big projects for us to look forward to!

Skyler Gisondo

Growing up in Palm Beach County, Florida, Skyler Gisondo's career started when he was only 6 years old, leading him to now having a wide range of roles and a large filmography at only 30 years old. From film acting to voice acting, Skyler is a part of many beloved projects such as "Haunted Hotel" as Ben and Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb as Nick Daley.

Perfect at playing the awkward yet lovable character, Gisondo has clearly taken hold of all our hearts with his immense dedication, amazing acting skills, and hilarious quips. His most recent projects include Superman (as iconic Daily Planet photographer Jimmy Olsen) andLance Oppenheim's Primetime, plus upcoming roles in Focker-in-Law, Shrek 5, Man of Tomorrow, "Haunted Hotel" Season 2, and his own DC series on HBO, "The People v. Gorilla Grodd"! This actor is simply non-stop with his work ethic, and we can’t help but love him for it.

Austin Abrams

Having recently just starred in Resident Evil, Austin Abrams is here to stay, as his next feature film, Whalefall, debuts October 16th. Also a Florida native, Austin began acting from the age of 5, making his debut in theater by the age of 9.

Now, this is an actor with immense range, having gone from the heartwarming Netflix romantic-comedy "Dash and Lily" to more hardcore horror with Weapons, Resident Evil, and Whalefall. Online, he is now called the king of the "guy who has a bad" film genre. Abrams personality is quite chill and laidback, a stark contrast from some of his newer roles. Thankfully, he loves a good joke as is evident in this playful interview with Skyler Gisondo. The running gag of the two actors being practically the same person was taken in stride and played up for laughs during an episode with A24.

Olivia Rodrigo

This Pisces singer grew up in Temecula as an only child. While she made her acting debut quite young, at only 12 years old, this star was always meant for a more musical stage. When her song "driver’s license" blew up on the internet in 2021 and broke Spotify's record for most daily streams twice, Rodrigo went from starring in the Disney+ series "High School Musical: The Musical: The Series" to performing across America in large national tours.

This starlet is majorly beloved not only because of her personal love of rock and her songs that will tug on your heartstrings but for her immense dedication to activism in all forms. In fact, at her Summer music festival, Daisy Chain Fields, featuring an all-women lineup, she helped raise $20 million for 10 nonprofit organizations supporting maternal health, economic empowerment, reproductive rights, and gender equality for women and girls. It’s really hard to not love a woman as pure hearted as Olivia Rodrigo -- luckily for us the singer is currently on tour!

Ayo Edebiri

This actress is always booked and always busy! A Boston native, Ayo Edebiri got her start as a stand-up comedian working with Comedy Central before transitioning to acting. While most know her from "The Bear", Edebiri did quite a lot of voice acting before receiving her "big break", on shows like "Bigtop Burger" and "Big Mouth".

Filled to the brim with natural comedic talent, Ayo Edebiri is simply an extremely lovable actress. Every interview and every role she plays is filled with her immense dedication to the craft. Not only is Edebiri an amazing actress but also a gifted director, as her episode of "The Bear", "Napkins", earned her a nomination in the Outstanding Directorial Achievement in a Comedy Series category at the Directors Guild of America awards.

The internet adores Ayo Edebiri, often awarding her the People’s Princess title every month without fail since her debut. The actress is also often called the human version of Snoopy and is, in fact, playing the character in the New York City Center’s production of You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown in 2027. Her new film, Clarissa, is also coming to limited theatres on December 11.
