He's good with that thing. Although we talked something like 3D. A saw? Why do they call you Saw?
Well some people pronounce my last name Sawling which is acceptable and that's kind of where it came from.
Welcome to Young Hollywood. Here with Mark Salling, no Salling. Where it began. I can't begin to know when. But that I know it's growing strong. Why do they call you Saw?
Well, some people pronounce my last name Salling which is acceptable and that's kind of where it came from. And I got my blade right here, so.
The blade is longer than normal. Is it?
Yeah, I feel like it's grown out.
Is that like a revenge thing on the season three?
Yes. I don't know you have to tune in to find out.
Any romance tips? Me or Puck?
Uh, well.
Oh let's do both.
Uh, no, no, no. Puck's going to be, uh, loving the ladies as always in season three.
Which ladies he gonna love the most this season?
I don't know. Only, uh, only time will tell. Only Ryan Murphy will let you know, so.
Well, I saw you were on Glee Project and you actually had your episode with the sexuality episode. Like, why did they pick you for that I wonder?
I don't know. I'm I'm a 38-year-old virgin, so I really don't know why they would have picked me for that.
You're going to do the remake of the movie. It said it's going to be 38 instead of 40.
Uh, yeah, exactly. I it's about as believable as me playing 15.
Tell me why you're at Hollywood and Highlands today?
I'm at Hollywood and Highland today because we are here fighting childhood hunger with childhungerends here. com and ConAgra foods. And it's just a great easy way for people to get involved and uh, fight childhood hunger. It's it's a lot of times overlooked cuz it's thought of as such a foreign problem but it's it's right here. One in four children in the United States, it's 17 million kids. In Texas, my native state is the number two um, state affected by childhood hunger, so I feel a connection to it. And Los Angeles where I live now is the number one city for childhood hunger in the state of California, so they've got their work cut out for them here and in Texas, so I I I definitely had to get involved.
Well, thanks for coming.
Thank you for having me so much. Appreciate it.
