No scars.
Oh, my heights and roller coasters, fast rides.
I do I when we go to like Universal Studios and stuff, I'm the chicken that holds everybody's bags while everybody gets on the ride.
That's me.
How would you say you're similar or different from Enrique?
When I want to be mature, I kind of act like him.
So I guess it's pretty fun.

They're the cool guys with Disney.
I mean, they're the cool guys.
Oh yeah.
Yeah, they're really sweet guys.
Um I had a lot of fun.
I filmed that when I was about 13 or 14 and it was actually I got to um kiss Dylan Sprouse in my episode that I did.
Not a bad day of work at all.
I'm telling you, rehearsals, table read, all that was fun.
That's all I will say.
So what is the best thing about being actors and actresses?
You guys are so young and you're getting all this really cool fame at a young age.
What's the best thing about it?
Having people notice me.
That's the best thing.
I mean, even though sometimes like you'd be eating about to take a big bite of something and you're eating.
Yes, I am.
But and then so yeah.
Yeah.
I like it, you know, just I mean, I like to do what I do and I'm glad that people appreciate it.
Like he said recognizing.
I mean, it's really fun when people recognize you.
And you know, I really I enjoy what I do and I like to make people laugh and I think all this fame is just helping us.
It's motivating us more to do better and to mature as we get older.
