Young Hollywood

We're here with Cooper Barnes. You have, I think, the best job in Hollywood right now.

Cooper Barnes

I do.

Young Hollywood

You do. You're a superhero.

Cooper Barnes

I do. It's the best. I'm a superhero and I get to kick down doors. I got to kick down a door last week and they're like, what a what a dream come true that is for me.

Young Hollywood

Was it a stage door that just breaks apart when you just like touch it with your finger?

Cooper Barnes

No. I thought it was going to be like a balsa wood door that yeah, I can flick and it shatters but it was a real door and I got to like kick it off its hinges.

Young Hollywood

Really?

Cooper Barnes

Yeah, that was

Young Hollywood

Wow. Was that satisfying?

Cooper Barnes

It was. Yeah.

Young Hollywood

So tell me what it's like to have your own show. Cuz I'll never know that feeling.

Cooper Barnes

The pilot that I did for this show was my first pilot that I did. And it was like I'm the lead and like I was in I was a lot of work. So I was kind of like the first table read. I was like exhausted. I'm like, how are we going to do this? I was kind of freaking out but then after a while, it's just like you do it scene by scene and you just kind of you just kind of do it and kind of do your thing and just be funny. Nobody leaves until you boys clean up all of this broken glass. All right. But I got to be up at 7:00 a. m. for my test at school. This will only take us like five hours. I'll get you a broom. Uh, I'm playing Captain Man. He's an indestructible superhero. And Henry is a 13-year-old boy. Yes. And we both transform into our superhero personas by way of chewing this magical bubblegum. Yeah. Instead of running into a phone booth, that's our thing. We just pop a a piece of chewing gum. Oh. a chewing gum. We blow a bubble and fight crime.

Young Hollywood
