Jake Paul

Yes.

Young Hollywood

What, tell us about when you first took on this role, how was it?

Young Hollywood

Wasn't an adjustment?

Young Hollywood

Was it weird?

Young Hollywood

Has it been exciting?

Jake Paul

Yeah, so when I first took on the role, I was like, I immediately knew that I loved Dirk and I think that was like the fun part about it, but it definitely was like different than what I was like used to used to playing.

Jake Paul

It was such a big character and Dirk doesn't really understand everything and yeah.

Young Hollywood

Yeah, I, I understand most in healing in real life.

Jake Paul

Yeah, I know how to do taxes.

Young Hollywood

Yes.

Young Hollywood

So what else is there to understand?

Jake Paul

Yeah.

Young Hollywood

Yeah, I feel like every time I watch our YouTube videos, you understand things QM because you're always out sorting everybody.

Jake Paul

No way.

Young Hollywood

Yeah, well, thank you.

Jake Paul

Yeah.

Young Hollywood

Yeah, but that's not Dirk.

Young Hollywood

So they're Dirk's getting outsmarted usually or kind of just like going with the flow or messing things up on occasion with everyone else.

Young Hollywood

So how are you most similar to Dirk?

Jake Paul

I think Dirk is fearless and so am I.

Jake Paul

Well, I, he'll literally do anything and I like that and realized you.

Young Hollywood

And speaking of fearlessness, your videos, you've done some really, really crazy stuff.

Jake Paul

Yeah.

Young Hollywood

What's the number one craziest thing he's done?

Jake Paul

Mmm, I snowboarded also agreed on doing Ram and I like really didn't want to do it.

Jake Paul

I was like, I don't want to do this.

Jake Paul

I want to go home, but like there's four cameras on me and I like I had to do it.

Jake Paul

So I'm probably like the most nerve-wracking thing for me.

Jake Paul

I thought I was gonna like get injured badly.

Young Hollywood

I read your motto, let's see if I get it right.

Young Hollywood

You got to want it.

Young Hollywood

Is that, that's right.

Jake Paul

That's right.

Young Hollywood

I'm gone along.

Young Hollywood

How did you decide this motto?

Jake Paul

Oh, I've been saying you gotta want it since I was like 16 years old.

Jake Paul

Um, basically like what ever I was in the gym or like wrestling or like working hard or do whatever it is that I was doing.

Jake Paul

I was like, you gotta want it in that legging inspired me to push myself harder and like me and my friends just kept on saying it and it became something that like stuck with us and I just like brought that to Hollywood where like the work was even more and like you had to grind like super hard and so that like continued to be the motto all throughout all throughout my ladder, the latter part of my life.

Young Hollywood

Okay, okay.

Young Hollywood

Well, being on set is so much fun and I love how the cast is like its own mini family and I saw you and Ethan hanging out.

Young Hollywood

You guys look like pretty good buddies.

Jake Paul

Yeah, Ethan's like the little brother that I never had and like my brother always beat me up.

Jake Paul

So I'd be east enough and we have that dynamic.

Jake Paul

So it's pretty funny.

Young Hollywood

What do you think it looks like?

Young Hollywood

Where do you see yourself in five years from now?

Jake Paul

Probably eating doughnuts somewhere.

Jake Paul

Other than that, like for real wise, I think, yeah, I think it's the same thing.

Jake Paul

Like I always believed that the stars in the future are going to be like 50% digital and 50% traditional and so I want to continue to like create my own content and do online videos, but I also want to be an actor in movies and TV shows and expand my career there.
