Welcome to Young Hollywood. Hi everyone, Nicki Novak here for Young Hollywood in Chicago for the Virgin America, Stand Up to Cancer, launch party. So with Adrian Grenier. How was your flight?

Adrian Grenier

My flight was excellent. It was very short. I think Virgin flights are shorter than most. For some some like cosmic reason they I think I'm mocked like ten or something. I don't know how they do it. Maybe it just.

Young Hollywood

Young Hollywood

Young Hollywood
