About this video

Netflix seems to have a knack for telling stories about young people saddled with the burden of un-asked-for superpowers and how they handle it in their day-to-day lives (and avoiding big shady government agencies trying to get their hands on them). The latest in this niche sub-genre of TV shows is "I Am Not Okay with This", starring IT's Sophia Lillis as an average teenager with not-so average skills! Young Hollywood catches up with Sophia and co-stars Richard Ellis, Sofia Bryant, and Wyatt Oleff where they do a Q&A with each other to find out more about them and the show! Find out what other Netflix show they'd love to do a crossover episode with (the answer will... probably not surprise you) and who the biggest prankster is on set, plus they reveal what celebrity they would love to have guest star on the show!

Young Hollywood

We are the cast of I Am Not Okay With This, and we're going to be interviewing each other for Young Hollywood.

Richard Ellis

Richard Ellis. Okay, if you could merge your show with another show for a cross crossover episode, which show would it be?

Sophia Lillis

That's a good question. Yes.

Wyatt Oleff

I think it would make the most sense to have a uh 21 Jump Street crossover of us and Stranger Things.

Sophia Lillis

Have you and Eleven duel?

Richard Ellis

Creative. That's very creative. Very creative.

Wyatt Oleff

I've heard that before. Yeah. Tenth times the charm.

Sophia Lillis

Sophia Lillis. Oh, my God. Look at that. Crazy. If you had a hypothetical diary, what would the last entry be?

Wyatt Oleff

Hypothetical diary.

Sophia Lillis

I'm so bad at keeping a diary, honestly. Hypothetical. Oh. Thanks.

Wyatt Oleff

Thanks, Wyatt.

Sophia Lillis

Uh-huh.

Wyatt Oleff

You're welcome.

Sophia Lillis

Uh. I guess it would be, "I'm doing lots of press, can't wait for premiere." And sentence. And book. That was good. Thank you. I will have hold a ball for next person, which will be you.

Wyatt Oleff

Wyatt Oleff. Oh. Pick a superpower for a co-star and have them tell you what they would do with it. Okay. Sophia, you have telekinesis. In real life. Yes. What would you do with it?

Sophia Lillis

Why am I answering this question?

Wyatt Oleff

Because it's funny. It's climatic.

Sophia Lillis

Okay. What would I do with my kinetic powers? Uh. Why is this funny? I don't know. Um, what would I do with it? I would kinetic myself.

Wyatt Oleff

On the other hand, Rich, if you had super strength, what would you do?

Richard Ellis

To fly. Sorry. You go.

Sophia Lillis

Um, okay. I'll be picking up the ball now. Yeah. Okay.

Wyatt Oleff

Richard.

Sophia Lillis

Richard. I know that guy. Um, Richard. Yes. If you could have any celeb guest star on the show, who would it be?

Richard Ellis

Um. He's he's more of a YouTube personality. But the one and only LA Beast. Um, he's famous he's famous for uh Wyatt and I spent a whole afternoon in the greenroom just watching a like a compilation of this guy throwing up. Yeah. This it's compilation, sorry. Losing it here. Um, of him just throwing up and it was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. So if we could have him on the show in some capacity, that'd be pretty incredible.

Sophia Lillis

So Sophia just makes him throw up over and over again. It's just constant. And that's his superpower. But yes. Who picked?

Richard Ellis

Yeah, yeah.

Sophia Lillis

Yeah, you go.

Wyatt Oleff

Wyatt Oleff. What is your go-to getting ready song for a date? Name artist and song.

Sophia Lillis

That's a good question.

Wyatt Oleff

There's this one called "King of Rock and Roll." I couldn't think of anything creative. It's by Prefab Sprout. It's a fantastic song. I encourage you guys to listen to it. Um, and it opens episode 104 if you remember that. So uh, you know, for a lack of creativity, I think that's the best answer I can come up with right now.

Sophia Lillis

We like it. Thank you. Should I pick the name or?

Wyatt Oleff

I'll pick the You pick the name because you have Sophia Bryant.

Sophia Lillis

That's me. That's your name. That is my name. I will ask your question. What It took me so long for you to go. What's a behind-the-scenes secret you can tell?

Sophia Lillis

We don't have secrets. Uh, I guess uh oh, there was a day where um none of you guys were in the hair and makeup trailer. And um I was there with Jason. I was there with Jason and Michael. And And Lizzo was like super like new. And so we were just listening to um Lizzo like on repeat. And then Michael was like Michael, this isn't a secret. He was watching my hair. And Michael was like, "How, this is a really good song." And it was like the tenth time that we had heard it. And I was like I was like, "Thanks, Michael." He's like, "What song is this?" And I was like, "It's the one we've been playing all morning." So, yeah, it's not a secret. It's just a funny thing that no one else was there for. Oh, thanks. Oh, yeah.

Wyatt Oleff

Sophia Lillis. Oh, yes. This pile, right? Okay. Uh-huh. Who's most likely to pull a prank on set?

Richard Ellis

Richard.

Sophia Lillis

What? I think so. I think I think it's Wyatt, but I think Richard would be there. You would be the one getting pranked, I think. Yeah. That's what I am. Yeah. That's sorry, yes. That makes sense. Oh, Jonathan. Jonathan would actually, yeah, I can see that. He's just fed up with Wyatt. At the end of the shoot was a tough couple.

Wyatt Oleff

Wyatt, Jonathan is the director if if It's got to been director. Jonathan, director. That's him in my contacts. Uh, last name, director. First name, Jonathan.

Sophia Lillis

There's one last Sophia Bryant. Oh, do I?

Wyatt Oleff

To ask the question, you do. Take your mic. Last question. Never mind. Who's the most likely who's most likely to fall asleep between shooting scenes? Oh. I think that was you. So, here again.

Sophia Lillis

Sophia Lillis. Okay. I, yes. For the reason that I I I was sleep. Yes. I There was one time where I got really sad 'cause there was this uh scene where I was supposed to just put a hot dog in the bun. And when we were getting cross-eyed Jonathan got so close to firing me. 'Cause I really couldn't do that 'cause I was holding two hot dog buns. And I had It was so much you had to do. Get it off the rotisserie, put both of them on, but I was holding the bun. So he's just like, "Okay." "I want you to have them all prepared. So you just have to pick them up and leave." And I picked one up, forgot, did the whole thing. And took them off the bun and put it right back on. And he said, "Sophia, I am so sad right now." And I said, "Me, too." So I sat down and fell asleep with an onion. I forgot that was the question. A good five minutes. While they had to change the lens. So that's one of the many times I've fell asleep on the job. Yeah. Thank you for tuning in. Please continue to tune in to watch our new show I Am Not Okay With This on Netflix.
