Yes. Yes, I still love you. Yeah. I just saw it for the first time uh a couple nights ago at the premiere. Okay. I guess uh yeah. When this comes out, it'll be like a couple weeks ago, I guess. Uh but yeah, that was the first thing I've actually seen with friends that I hadn't seen it before. So the first time I was seeing it was with friends and everybody else. It was a little nerve-wracking, but um yeah, it was fun.

What do you think of your performance? You know, it's different than 13. Tonally in pretty much every way.

Yeah. I got to I got to be a little funny in that in in P. S. I love you. Still still love you. Uh yeah. So, I'm excited for people to see it.

Yeah, we're excited for sure. So you play Trevor.

Yes, Trevor.

How does he come into the mix?

So he is Peter Kavinsky's best friend. But they've all like Peter and uh Larjean and John Ambrose and and and Chris and um they've all known each other since they were kids. Cuz they they have like a time capsule thing that they that they dug dug on it. They buried. That's the word. They buried when they were kids. Yeah. Uh, so in this they they all come together and undig it.

Okay. Is he causing any trouble or anything?

You'll see. Oh, I guess I guess this is coming out. Well, yeah, still, you know what? Even if people watch this before they watch the movie, which you shouldn't do, I'm not going to give that many spoilers. Some people like spoilers, you know.

Yeah, and How do you feel about those people? It's kind of weird, right?

Disgust. Right. Disgust. I I have friends that like are on the like the Marvel reddits and everything like trying to look up all the like trying to hear all the spoilers for all like the Marvel movies and stuff. And I'm like, what are you doing? Just like enjoy it as as it comes out. Like why do you want to know what happens before it happens? Right. I I guess there's the comics, but that's different than the comics. I don't know. I I I like to be surprised.

Quick side note, the Bachelor. Like the the fandom, do you watch that? The show?

No.

Okay, never mind. I was going to bring up reality Steve who always unleashes like everything and people just they wait every time and

No, but see why would you Like I feel like you watch things like the Bachelor to be surprised. Right. Because it has those gasp moments. So, uh one of my castmates on 13, Tyler Barnhardt is like huge Bachelor guy. Like he loves he loves all of those shows like the Bachelor and Love Island and all that and uh three of us lived in a house in the same house uh season 4 of 13 just cuz we wanted to have our last hurrah and he got like Justin Prinness on on the Bachelor. He I think Tim got a little invested. I got invested for about 20 minutes and then I was like I I can't do any of this. Wow. I forgot which one they were watching. I think it was Love Island.

Okay, I haven't seen that. It was like all the Bachelor people go to an island.

Oh, Bachelor in Paradise. That that's the one they were watching. Okay. Same.

Wow. Okay. There was an island and there was love or lack of. Right. Or lack of. Love or not to Love Island. But going back to your

Yeah.

love movie, you know.

Yeah.

It's all the boys. P. S. I still love you. Um incredible cast, you know, we have you, of course. Yes. Lana, Noah, Jordan. Yeah. How was it working with those guys?

We had known each other. Oh, I didn't know Lana before, but I knew Jordan Fisher and I did Disney movie years ago. Uh, Noah and I uh have danced together at Halloween parties together as some people know. So from that, uh yeah, once we were all in the same room, it was comedically since I finally get to play a comedic role since Reggie on Riverdale. Um yeah, it was like I I felt like I had the freedom to really just riff and a lot of I would say like 80% of what my parts in the movie are improvised. And And same with like Noah and Jordan and all the people like all of our scenes cuz they had us do it the way it was written and they're like, all right, just have fun cuz they saw that we were all like we have ideas for what we want to do. And the director was so great with like cutting it together cuz uh I'm pretty sure that was the hard bit to do like trying to keep everything continuity wise on the same page. Right. Uh, but I also hear there's like gag reels coming out.

Yes. So we love that. Yeah. So yeah. Yeah, and we've gotten to meet all of you, you know, just different occasions. Oh, really? And you guys are all so fun. You guys are all so fun.

Yeah. We love to have fun.

According to the Interwebs, correct me if I'm wrong. But all of you guys are Tauruses. Taurus Suns, right? Do you know anything about astrology? Oh, his eyes just glazed over a little bit.

No, no, because I was trying to think. I was just like, are we really? To be completely honest, I don't know their birthdays. Yeah. Uh, Really? They're all Tauruses?

I think so. Yeah. Jordan's like, I think April 23rd, which is very close to Aries. Yeah. I think I just know that Noah and Lana both are Tauruses from I'm going to research and then This is we're going to have to fact check this. Can we have someone fact check that? And we'll come back to it. We'll come back as a commercial. But you're May 17th, right?

Yeah.

See, good good memory. Damn. Not a stalker guys. I promise. It's my job to know these things.

Yeah. Too good of memory. That's right. Uh well, if that would make sense. I mean, okay, so astrology. We don't have to go on it.

No, I love to. I have I have my my opinions on it. I think

Get them to me.

Largely, I don't know if we are uh we fall into these categories because that is what the stars predict or if we grow up knowing that we're Tauruses or whatever and we subconsciously feel like we have to fit into that that box, you know. Yeah. So. But

Maybe it's like both. There's like a balance of both. I I think there's a little I I want to believe that there's still some sort of magic in the world. Yeah. Not that it's magic. I think some of it could be science.

Yeah. Confirmed. Confirmed. All Tauruses. Thank you. That makes sense. Makes a lot of sense.

Cuz yeah, that's that's great. But well, I would need to know their ascending and their moon signs, you know.

Do you know yours?

Yeah.

What's yours?

So my moon is Gemini and my ascending is Aquarius.

Wow, okay. Cool. See that or yeah, my moon is Gemini. So moon is like how you feel about yourself, right? And ascending is how other people perceive you. That's right. There you go. There you go. I'm very impressed. Some people just don't know.

I have a lot of weird hobbies in this.

I mean, me too. I love it. I went down a rabbit hole of like astrology and not because I believe in it 100%, but also I was just curious.

Right. That's the whole point of it, right? Just to broaden your mind and everything.

Yeah. I agree with you.

I agree. Okay, so going back to all your castmates. Any fun stories that you can share just like I'm sure there's tons, but maybe one that's your favorite?

It's such a every single project I go on to, I I start like a notepad. I'm like, okay, cuz I know they're going to ask us the question like what are the fun things that happen?

We love that.

And I always forget we and no matter what cast we're a part of, everybody always forgets to like write down these things cuz you cuz you're in the moment and um but for this honestly, I I I I cannot There are so many times when we were just on set and we would just like start joking or like we would start freestyle rapping about stupid things that had to do with the scene and um like coming

Are you rapping?

I dabbled.

You did. Okay.

I I I dibby-dabbled.

Do you want to dibby-dabble right now?

No. Anyway. No, no, no, no. I I had to try. Cuz a lot because once your mind is in freestyle mode, sometimes it'll just say things. And I don't know if like how the cursing works on this.

Okay, fair point. Right.

Yeah. I I don't want to I don't I don't want to let people into my mind so so quickly over video. I'll keep that with. Um,

You use your imagination guys. So you guys were just rapping on set having fun. There was freestyle on set. Uh, and then just like riffing on

So there is a scene in To All the Boys 2 where uh I think Chris is like we're all meeting at the tree house and Chris comes up with like a shovel from like and we're trying to figure out like cuz she we're we're digging up the the time capsule. And um and we're trying to figure out like where she comes in and everything and and we're just like spitballing ideas. I was like, what if she just like walks in from the river? Without any explanation, like she's just coming in with a shovel from the river. And it turned into like me just asking her like Really? They kept it. Why are you coming from the river? And they kept it. And they're like, oh, that's a great idea. So it's stuff like that that it's um it's all environmental. It's like when you're on the day and it's just cuz that's how we are in real life. It's weird happens stuff. We're just stuff happens. Beep. I don't know if we can I don't know what the cursing thing.

You're good. You're good. Um, cuz I think the S word is like a soft curse, right? Is it? I think so. Soft curse. Yeah. Like the F word is like a hard curse. Right. While the S word is like soft. Right. Okay. Right? I just learned something

Yeah. Like damn. Like damn is like the softest. Dang it. That's not even. Okay, so that's not even on the spectrum of. Cheese and crackers. Um uh and but yeah, it's those are the fun moments is like when we're on set and um and we just we're just riffing on what's given to us and we find little gold nuggets.

I love that. Yeah. Okay, so with everything you know about the story lines, who do you think that Lara Jean choose? Peter, Jordan.

Who do I think? Okay. So, I I did a couple interviews the other day before I had seen the movie. Spoiler? No. That's not a spoiler. Uh, that's just a little tidbit of info. And I and originally I was purely team Pete. Peter Kavinsky cuz I was just like, you know what? They overcame so many obstacles to get together and like they were pretending to date and they were just like, no, I hate you. I hate you. But then they ended up really liking each other. Right. Um, so I was just like team Pete cuz they really And and I was like, no, team John, like on paper they look good, but they're not actually. But then after seeing the movie and seeing Lana and Jordan act and their chemistry, I was like, I don't know. I I I think I'm still team Peter though. All right. I think I'm still team Peter.

That's the fun part about, you know, the movie is that we as viewers get to decide who we personally like more and everything. So, I like it. Yeah.

There's a moment at the end of the movie and I know this is coming out like after the movie comes out, but the last there's the last couple scenes and that really I was just like, yeah, they do belong together. Peter and LG. So,

Cute. Well, Ross, it's been a pleasure. Thank you so much for coming by. Congratulations on everything. Young Hollywood, go check them out. P. S. I Still Love You. You won't want to miss it.
