Hi, I'm Jack and I'm here with Young Hollywood.
I'm Asher Angel and I'm here with Young Hollywood.
We're here with Young Hollywood. She's done this before. Professional. This one young actor, studio thing. Are you guys feeling you're in the layer? Excellent. Oh my God. What was your first reaction when you saw it?
I actually didn't get to be in the layer on set. I don't think any of us to visit one time. I did a scene. I'm picking up a thing and it got cut from the movie.
Yeah, I've seen it twice. So I know I'm the resident one half, half the time you're late.
I didn't get to see the layer when we were shooting. And so it's like, it's like getting my own that's not being indoors in the house. That was an interesting continuity error is the bathroom. We don't have, we don't have one.
You guys just all best friends. Like, be honest, like
I'm actually super best friends with all of these people specifically specifically. I think the three of us, we have a group chat yesterday, but the funny thing is he'll text nonstop and then all of a sudden he'll go silent and we won't, we won't hear from him. Calling and checking in. Were like, Jack. How are you? What are you doing down in the dumps? You're the one that's always checking up on you? Everything. Yeah, I hope you have a great day and I was in costume and I would never, I have called you before. I've called you back. I call, you still know the truth. Doesn't matter. Best friends. I love them. And even if I don't, I don't like phone calls in general, I would never call. My mom is the best. You should call your mom. We'll call her later.
You guys, all our best friends, you're gonna answer for each other. You were stranded. Don't like you couldn't get out of the movie. What is three items each of you would need with you? But ask your answer for Rachel. Rachel answer for, you know, three items for Jack.
Great. That's the person I know best I spent time with it. Okay. Okay. What would you need? I think what would you need? Okay. Are you going, you going first or am I going? I think you would need a guitar. Um Come on, man. I don't know. I haven't spent much time with Rachel
Rachel guitar. Beautiful voice for Jack. I think Jack needs a Rubik's Cube.
That's insane that you said that I just bought any Rubik's Cube on it because my phone died recently. That's literally why I said well, yeah, but I think you need like you need like stimulation. So I think that would be great. I think you need to give that. I think, I think you need like a trombone. Like you need to learn, you need a trombone so you can learn how to play an instrument and you would like to play. You impulsively bought a saxophone recently. I think I would, yeah, scratch that. I would get you a trombone and then um and your grandpa, I love my grandpa, grandpa. I know what he would want, want that Rachel going for me. You know, like it's like a balloon animal hat. Yeah, it's like that or like strawberries and honey or nutella or something dipping sauce and something that I actually think you would need like an abacus. No, like a, like a midi keyboard and a mic. You can still make some. How did she get that? And you couldn't even think because we talk about checking on me and that's how I know I have a busy life. Okay. So you all need instruments. We concluded that you have much time. Okay. So if you guys, you're superheroes made a tiktok account, what would the user name be? What do you think would be? Besides just your like you do for you? You'll make it for you. Mine would be in with any because I think that's a cute plan and it was a show and so, and she is, and when she's in her human realm it would be at and with anything because I don't think I would want people to know that I was anthea and that I had like powers and stuff. You got to keep it looking. I gotta keep it low key, gotta keep it unlock. Jack. That sounds like a weird pop tropical gamer tag. I just came up with my fingers. Yeah, that was good. You could do it with your thunder cracks. Make a wish kid. Remember? That's what they, that's my favorite line was like, oh my God, it's real inside baseball. That was that I didn't actually get that when I said it. I don't know, I don't know. I didn't. Okay Rachel. And you obviously you joined in with the boys, their friendship. What is one thing you learned about them from being on set with them? They talk with their eyes, they do. They will not say things out loud. You guys will literally have conversations. They meant that meant like I'm like creepy. No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm saying that you guys have like you guys because I, my first day was with the two of you and I was still nervous because I was like, I wasn't on the first one. I'm the new kid. I was really nervous and I don't, I don't like kids. You're my favorite. You guys literally will like be like, and they're laughing hysterically and I'm like, what's being said? What am I missing? We also do finish each other's sandwiches. That's what I was gonna say. Not this, not this. Okay. So you have a question. Okay. Okay. So we'll start with you Jack. Okay. True or false. If you Google your name, the third bullet down is he's afraid of pigeons? Oh my God, it's getting bigger. Yeah. I don't know what you said. Whatever. Yes. True, true fun. Facts about Jack like your full name. I did not know because there's none in Atlanta but I hate them in Italy. You sent me a video of you running from a hilarious could never survive in New York. You could never live with that, but I just hate it and I don't like it. I don't like pigeons and I love cities. No, they're not. They stuck and they get stuck in my hair twice, stuck in my hair twice to be fair. And there is like you just unforgivable kryptonite. Alright. Next Asher. Okay. So in a lot of your opening scenes in the movie, obviously you have a shirt on. What does the shirt say? Yes, you got it because you guys were a lot of cool I P and you get to wear your iron giant. You girls. What is it? Lord of the Rings Tree of Life. Yeah. A reference to the movie. Yeah, I got that. And that's why Ready Rachel when Asher's birthday I have no idea. I'm so sorry. September 12, September 25, September 26. At least he knows this in September six. September 2. Thank you. I'm so glad you September 12th, 5th, 3rd, 3rd. I don't know. I don't know. You know, my grandpa was born that day with you too. Okay. We'll give you Rachel. Okay. True or false. Jack's Instagram bio says I don't know how I got here. I don't think so. It used to be all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. It's true. And then I did just change it like last week. What did you make it? I don't know how I got here. I've been feeling really liminal recently like, like when I was working with you, it was, it was all work. That was the beginning of created it, the beginning of the beginning of the creation of mine. Do you know what mine is? Um Yeah, the color purple. No, Jane Jane Fonda Thanos and God is my favorite human. And since when is the Florida project? The greatest movie in the world. I think. So. It's fine. My Instagram bios, how is it going to end from the Truman show? You knew that you knew that she was so good in that show, the Truman show. I was really good in it was a good show that I'm the one that he falls in love with it. And I'm watching the show. You get it. So good to be back. So great. I'm so sorry that this is the most unhinged interview of all time. I think I'm like crying, laughing the entire time. Perfect. Thank you so much. Thank you.
