Guest

Yeah, absolutely. Second guest: Horrible.

Guest

Right? Terrible experience. Oh we had so much fun. It was great.

Young Hollywood

And obviously I want to shout you guys out. Such a hot and talented cast. Obviously, I mean, guys, watching from home. And then we also have um Tyler Posey. What was that? I see that. Look at the hotness on this cab. Hotness and the talent. Okay. And that's it. Um but we also have Tyler Posey, KJ Appa, fun cast. So how is it like working with those two?

Guest

I didn't work with Tyler at all but I worked with KJ a lot. He was so fun. He's from New Zealand. I'm from Australia, so we're from a similar part of the world and so yeah, it was a pretty, pretty quick bonding experience. Yeah, it was great.

Young Hollywood

I love that. What about you? Second guest: Yeah. And I didn't actually get a chance to work with KJ but I worked with Tyler and he's so amazing and so sweet and um such a good partner to have throughout the filming process.

Young Hollywood

I love that. And I know the the film kind of follows you guys like separately throughout but did you guys have like, you know, a lot of time together on set? Even though we don't really get to see it in the film.

Guest

We just met today. Just like an hour ago. Second guest: Yeah.

Young Hollywood

What?

Guest

Well me, me and Wolfgang got a chance to really hang out and have have some good times before we we started filming because most of most of our scenes were together. We ended up going to like Indians games together, like Cleveland Cavaliers. So fine. We went to uh what was it? Cedar Point, which is like the biggest amusement park in the Midwest. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. We we were we tried to do Cleveland right. Second guest: I think I went to the zoo with Gage.

Guest

The zoo. We had to go to the zoo. We had to go to the zoo. And she's like, she's like, let's just go to the zoo. I was like, all right, let's do it.

Young Hollywood

That's fun. Seems relaxed.

Guest

Interesting, it was interesting.

Young Hollywood

I love that. Okay, can you guys point out a favorite scene or moment from the film? Second guest: Oh, mine is easy. I loved um my scene actually with Tyler at Wrigley Field.

Guest

I was gonna say that.

Young Hollywood

That's so cool. Second guest: It was so cool. Um, but it just because it was such a surreal experience to be filming at Wrigley Stadium and to be up in the scoreboard looking out at the um, you know, at at the stadium and it was completely empty and it was just our film crew and it was nighttime and it was very, it felt like movie magic.

Young Hollywood

Totally. It looked like it for sure. I was gonna say that scene too cuz I just watched it and I was watching like this.

Guest

Well Chad and Reese, the guys with ties, uh Jacob McCarthy and Mario Revolori, there's a shot of them after let's just say a very uh special night of theirs where they're walking down the street like as the sun's coming up in Chicago and it's just like an iconic shot. That's like my favorite moment of the movie. Second guest: I think what I can only remember just from my experience is being on set. Probably just being at the lake and like us being on the boats. Acting like we're drinking alcohol but it's just water.

Young Hollywood

Wait, you weren't drinking actual alcohol? Oh. Second guest: I'm just kidding.

Young Hollywood

That's so funny. And I like how I tried to hold that together. You gotta let it out, you know. Um okay, well the dates in the movie, they're so cute. So I wanna know what is your ideal summer date?

Guest

I like a I like a classic just uh dinner and a movie. I feel like that. I think um or just some place where we can like communicate with each other. I think it's all about environment. Second guest: I love driving down to the beach. Anything down in Malibu would be pretty with a bottle of rosé. That sounds great. I would love that.

Young Hollywood

Yeah. I love that.

Guest

I would be dinner and dancing.

Young Hollywood

Oh that's good. That's good. It's just any kind. All right. Just go somewhere and dance. Really? Yeah. I love that. You uh what are you doing later? I was like, what are you doing right now? Let's show some moves.

Guest

Um I think it it depends who uh who the woman is you're going out with. So I I try not to have like my set places of like, and this is my spot, I know it's gonna work. So I think it depends. I think it depends on who the woman is.

Young Hollywood

Okay. Yeah, you don't wanna show to the same spot every time. I like that answer. That's sweet.

Guest

Yes. Thank you.

Young Hollywood

I love that. Well, to stay on the dating topic, I thought it'd be really fun to ask you guys some questions about dating advice or just your opinions on dating in general. So um I'm just gonna ask them you just have to give me your thoughts. Simple enough?

Guest

Sounds good.

Young Hollywood

Okay, first one. Do you believe in love at first sight? Second guest: Yes.

Guest

No. Second guest: Yes.

Guest

Something about a person can um intrigue you but I don't know if it's necessarily love. Like, I don't know.

Young Hollywood

Okay. Fair enough.

Guest

I'll just tell a little story about how my parents met actually.

Young Hollywood

I love these stories.

Guest

Oh, yeah. I'll give the short version. Uh but my aunt had called my mom saying, you need to get your ass down here to I just met the male version of you. But my mom actually picks up my dad. So they're talking. My mom says, yeah, you know, after I graduate college, I'm gonna move to New York City and I'm thinking about being a modern actress. And my dad says, well, you know, I've dated a few few models and they're way too short. You should be an actress. And my mom my mom not missing a beat says, well, if I was taller, I'd be a supermodel. I wouldn't be here standing talking to you. And my dad was like, I'm in love.

Young Hollywood

Wow. The honesty there in that. Second guest: Yeah, yeah. I also believe in love at first sight because my parents met in a very similar way when they were really young. Um and so I think just having them as my role models. It's like you always kind of see that and hope for that for yourself.

Guest

Yeah. I agree. I think it's possible.

Young Hollywood

You're a quick you're a quick no, so do you want to elaborate? Second guest: Well, my boyfriend and I have been together for four years and for the first two years that we knew each other we hated each other. So,

Young Hollywood

Wow. Second guest: So I don't know. Like I've heard there's a fine line between hate and love. Have you guys heard that before? So it's all passion.

Guest

Exactly. There you go. Good way to spin that.

Young Hollywood

Interesting. It's better than indifferent, right? I don't know. Okay, these ones are more about advice. So what do you do if you get ghosted by someone you really like? Second guest: Get over them because they weren't worth your time.

Guest

Exactly. Yes.

Young Hollywood

What do you do if you screenshot a conversation and you send it back to that same person on accident? Second guest: I've done that. That's my nightmare.

Guest

Was that was that a curb your enthusiasm? The accidental text. You got the secondary anxiety just thinking about it. Oh no. No, yeah. I think that's a mistake you only make once. Second guest: Well, you have to own up to it. Like you just have to be like, I I'm I'm sorry. I just

Guest

I just never done it. Never done it. I just sent my like as a mass text, so that's not a problem for me.

Young Hollywood

You send what is mass text? I never got. What? I'm like, what?

Guest

Never mind. I'm totally kidding.

Young Hollywood

Okay, next one guys. Um what do you do if you have feelings for a friend's significant other? Second guest: That hasn't happened to me luckily.

Guest

Same. Second guest: Oof, that gives me anxiety to think about.

Guest

Same. Bros, bros. Bros. Don't finish the sentence. Don't finish the sentence. I know but we bros. That's a tough situation. So just don't go there. Best of your abilities.

Young Hollywood

Okay, last one. What do you do if you have feelings for a friend and worry it'll ruin the friendship?

Guest

I think you have to just follow your heart. And if you feel like it could work with someone, you have to take that risk of sacrificing the friendship. And and I do believe that you can still stay friends with someone after you've broken up also if you've had a had a history with them in that way. Um I don't think that just goes away. And it's worth the chance cuz, you know, could be. I'm such a romantic. I'm such a romantic.

Young Hollywood

I love that. I love that. Second guest: Jacob and I were kinda talking about this earlier actually, just with his character kinda having all these feelings and and not communicating them. I think at the end of the day like um there's nothing worse than um keeping all these things inside and then never saying it. You know? I think, you know, you gotta you gotta take a shot. It's better just than it's the worst feeling is like saying, oh what if, you know, or I could've, should've, would've.

Young Hollywood

Sure. Mhm. I like that. Well, lastly, what have you guys all learned about yourselves from your characters?

Guest

For me, I I mean I already sort of knew it about myself. I just think I'm definitely a relationship person. My character Alec was like just he he wanted that. He wanted what he wanted.

Guest

I can definitely relate to that. My character Aaron is a planner. And she's very mature for her age and I think she makes decisions based more on what she thinks she should be doing rather than the way she feels. And over the course of the movie, she really um starts to learn how to be more present and and not worry so much about what's ahead but to just be in the moment. And that's advice that I give myself every day. Phoebe and I pretty different I think when it comes to love. She um is very hesitant to jump in and she has a lot of barriers that Griffin ends up pulling down but um for me I'm like the opposite. Like I just jump in like head first. So I love that. Um maybe I could take a lesson from Phoebe to not do that. More of a balance. Maybe. Maybe.

Guest

You know, I really kinda base Foster on some people I knew actually. You know, it wasn't really me. Um but I think the biggest lesson he learns at the end of the day is, you know, the hardest thing to be is comfortable in your own skin. And just to me, overall, I think anytime you meet somebody, man, woman, who if you're interested, whatever, you're attracted to someone who's comfortable in their own skin. Cuz it's hard.

Young Hollywood

I love that. Well, you guys are awesome. Thank you so much for coming by. You guys catch them in The Last Summer. You won't wanna miss it.
