I'm Oliver here with Young Hollywood at Wet Seal where everyone is waiting to meet Olly Murs. Yes, Olly Murs! Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go! Let's go! You're less excited, aren't you? Be honest. The girl that can scream gets to kiss Olly. I think it's safe to say they're excited. I'm here with Karina and Sarah who are very excited. Yeah, you love Olly. You love him so much. It's not me. They're not talking about me, sadly. It is Olly Murs. Another Brit who's come to invade America. And they're excited because they didn't have to wait in a four-hour line because you won the competition. The Young Hollywood competition to to skip the line. How often do you play his music?
All the time. Yeah, I've had it on repeat every day. Every time I drive, all the time.
Right place, right time. And do you stalk Olly Murs?
A little bit.
You're going to try and get a kiss in?
Yeah, definitely. Sneaky kiss in.
You're going to go for the cheeks or the lips?
Maybe both. Yeah.
I'd go for the lips. You only get one chance. Just jump on him. Jump on him. He hasn't got any security with him, so just do it. With the man himself, Olly Murs. How are you?
I'm good, thank you. We don't normally meet in in female shops. Tell them the truth. We normally meet in female shops. It's just normally underwear. It seems to be that's where we are right now. And but I'm very well, thanks. What what's the matter? Why am I happy?
Another Olly. In America. How do you spell yours?
I spell O. L. L. Y.
Ah, so it's a little bit different. Would you like to kiss Olly? Because apparently some girls are going to get to kiss him. He said that's all right.
Um, I would die. Yeah.
You would die. You would die if you kissed him? That's not good then, is it? I'm done. I'm done. Final score. It's like Romeo and Juliet. Um, you've nailed England.
Well, I don't think I've nailed England.
You've done well.
I've done very well. I'm very, very happy with the success I've had. It's been great.
And now you're going to conquer America.
Well, I don't know, I don't know.
No you are, Olly. Let's be positive.
I'm always very positive, but I think, um, it's not just going to happen like that. It's going to take a long time.
Since X Factor, obviously to American viewers, that's you won X Factor. Um, it's been an amazing, uh, amazing journey, isn't it?
Well, the last three and a half years have been great, yeah. I mean, you know, I worked really, really hard and I was 25 living in Essex, uh, near London and just kind of like twiddling my thumbs, not really sure what I wanted to do. And you know, I took a chance really and when you take a chance, things happen and you know, I believed that I could potentially have a career in music and it really has kicked off for me. But I want to try and get number one here in the States. But it's just a great country. I love it. The sun shining. The sun is shining. Healthy. I don't look like I've just literally come from the UK. We don't look. I'm healthy and
You look fresh off the boat. You look fresh off the boat. You're like if you were walking down the street, they'd be like, "There's that new kid!"
Exactly. I came on a boat.
Yeah, I came on a plane. How long have you waited in line for?
About four hours.
Four hours. Have you got sunscreen on?
No.
What were you thinking? You're going to get burned. You didn't think it was going to be this hot. How do American fans and English fans differ that you've found?
I've noticed at gigs they don't, they can't be quiet for more than a second. American fans? Yeah.
Whoever can scream Olly the loudest gets the hat.
Olly!
Ouch! I think you did it. You got it. You got it. Is that a good thing?
Yeah, it's great. I mean, the atmosphere, the enthusiasm. I mean, I think maybe it's because in the UK they see me all the time, I suppose. I perform there all the time. So I think when you come here they they haven't seen me. We got a little game that they're going to give me. I don't know really what this is either. I haven't seen it because it's similarities between Olly and Olly. Oh, okay. So we've got to see how we're different. Favorite Beatles track. Mine's Let It Be.
Oh, I was going to say Hey Jude.
Okay. Love that song. That's an obvious one, though, isn't it? I expected more from you, Olly. Fill in the blank. When I go to Vegas, I drink.
I don't remember. I was there this past weekend as well. But that's kind of the same then. Right. Most embarrassing moment.
I think it was when I, um, ripped my trousers on stage right in the crotch area.
I swear I was going to say ripped my pants on stage. Did you really? When I was a little, I done ballet and my tights split. Yeah, I can move on. When I go into a Subway sandwich store, I order
I'll get the meatball one. Oh, no, I get the chicken and bacon, um, salad, uh, hot with, um, some mayo on it.
That obviously comes from a guy that goes there often. Diva in the making.
No, I love it. Two two lots of chicken. Don't get one portion, two lots of chicken, little bit of bacon, little bit of cheddar cheese. Obviously making some money from record sales, he can double order on the chicken. Love Subway. If I could do a duet with anyone, mine would be, can I be dead, I'll do it with Freddie Mercury, Queen.
Wow, could you bust out a lyric with Freddie Mercury? Could you bust a note?
I think, well, I just want to sing with him. I like to ride my bicycle. Brilliant. Bicycle. I would like to do a dance track for the clubs. I'd go with Calvin.
Give me your, give me your dance track with Calvin. There you go. We can wrap this up on that. That was a high. Let's finish. Olly Murs, go to your screaming fans. Something just hit me. Wow, what's this? Look what it is. Young Hollywood cap. That just happened. Very subtle. Olly Murs, thank you, mate.
Thanks, a pleasure.
I'll see you around.
Definitely for a point. Yeah, done.
