Young Hollywood

What's up, you two?

Lana Condor

How's it going?

Cole Sprouse

How are you?

Young Hollywood

Good. Okay, first and foremost, would you guys go to space if you had the opportunity to?

Cole Sprouse

Well, right now, in this exact moment, no, because I'm really sleepy. And I don't know how much I there's a lot of training, it's a time commitment. It depends on what I'd be going to space for.

Lana Condor

Yeah. Space war? No, he doesn't want to go to space war, guys, no. He, you, you would want to go to space.

Cole Sprouse

You don't get to tell me what I want to do. I want to go

Lana Condor

No, you don't get your space war, because guess what, the treaty that we learned about, no war in space.

Cole Sprouse

No, okay. Come on. Come on. You know that's going to be broken. Come on. I'm talking sci-fi rail guns, you know what I mean? I'm I'm talking like zero G suits. If I'm going to space for that, you're going all out. And and we get to fight another like alien race, like an alien threat. That'd be pretty epic. That'd be pretty epic. The last

Lana Condor

I love it.

Cole Sprouse

Yeah. But just to chill. So maybe, maybe, we'll say maybe.

Lana Condor

No, maybe.

Young Hollywood

And when you guys were behind the scenes filming, did you have any certain rituals you did or a favorite memory you have from behind the scenes because everyone was flipping out about you guys being together.

Lana Condor

I have this great memory. It was what Cole was most disappointed. Um, so I like we were all hanging out over the weekend. I think I had like, I threw like a little like get together at my house. Everyone was hanging out. The cast was hanging out. And I You were invited because at the end of the night, I had the brilliant idea of sneaking a pack of Jell-O. Nice. Um, jam, a pack of jam in Cole's pants. Now, Cole isn't a heavy packer. Like he I think he might have only brought one pair of pants. Yeah. And I snuck a little thing of Jell-O of of jam, preserved jams into his pocket. And he washed them and the jam went everywhere on his jeans and he was not happy with me the next day at work. But I had a great time.

Cole Sprouse

You understand actually saying this out loud, this sounds exactly like a prank the sweetest old grandmother on Earth would play on like her grandson.

Lana Condor

That's me. That's my grandson. Into your pocket. Into your pocket. But it wasn't just you, Cole. If it makes you feel better, I snuck jam into everyone's pocket.

Cole Sprouse

Yeah, but it's funny how they all knew the jam was in their pockets before they washed their clothes except me. That would be

Young Hollywood

Talk about getting yourself in a jam. There you go. Did you go and get new pants? Like did you learn your lesson to pack more maybe next next time?

Cole Sprouse

No, no, I'm not. No, because he thought only more opportunities for Alana to put more jam. Yeah. And yeah, I like if I have that's more risk. You know what I mean? That's plenty of more opportunities for you and jam.

Young Hollywood

Right. And Cole, and you have blonde hair in the movie. So how do you feel about that situation?

Cole Sprouse

Um, well, blonde is my normal hair color.

Young Hollywood

Really? Are you a natural blonde?

Cole Sprouse

Yes. I'm a natural blonde. I know people forget because of my angsty, moody character on Riverdale. But I am a natural blonde. So it did feel nice to go back to blonde. Except we fried it. Yes. And it was a little frizzy. It was a little frizz. We fried it. Um, but I'll probably go back to blonde from here on out after.

Lana Condor

You you with blonde? Um, and maybe I don't know if it's because we shot a space movie.

Cole Sprouse

I can't wait for what you're about to say.

Lana Condor

I don't know if it's because we shot a space movie. But you blonde is you remind me of Buzz Lightyear.

Cole Sprouse

That's cool. That's awesome. Like the one that everyone's been editing into memes online or like normal Buzz Lightyear.

Lana Condor

I don't know what those memes are, but George Clooney? No, Up, Up and Away. But he's not in Toy Story.

Cole Sprouse

Yeah, but isn't he George Clooney?

Lana Condor

Oh, is that? Who knows? Who knows George Clooney? That's you. That's you now. It doesn't matter.

Cole Sprouse

I thought Buzz Lightyear was voiced by Mr. George Clooney. I don't know. We'll have to look it up and report back. What you mean? And no one here who has seen Toy Story.

Lana Condor

Cole, we're alone.

Cole Sprouse

That's cool. That's cool. That's funny.
