United States of Al Star on Justin Bieber, Harry Styles, & Her Fave TikTok Accounts

Hi, my name is Fayer McKenzie and I'll be talking on Young Hollywood today.

Well, so United States of L is dropping April 1st, right? April Fool's Day. Are you excited? Are you nervous? Have you seen any of it?

I'm super excited. I haven't seen anything yet. Um, only some, you know, teasers, trailers and some bloopers. Um, but yeah, I'm really excited for people to see what we've been working so hard on and yeah, it's just super exciting.

Do you like watching yourself or do you get like a little, oh, I don't want to see it or how do you feel?

I, um, I like watching myself, but sometimes I'm like, oh no, what if I look bad? What if I do something embarrassing? But um, normally I'm just super excited to see. Um, but sometimes a bit scared.

Understandable. And your name is Hazel in the show. Do you like that name?

Yeah, I actually like that name. I've had um, the names in the past have been cool and but this one I like a lot because um, I don't hear it too often, so. Yeah. I I really like it.

Yeah. If you could change the name, what would it be?

Ooh. Um, I don't know, I don't think I would change it. Um, I feel like I, well, one of the characters is already named Lizzy. Yeah. Um, but I do like the name Lizzy. One of my cousins is named Lizzy and I like the name.

Okay, so we're gonna play current events with you. So I'm gonna read off some things, you know, that are happening in the world, not bad things, but happening in the world and then you'll just kinda state your opinion and what you think about it, okay?

Sure.

Okay. So obviously Tik Tok. That's always a current event because Tik Tok is Tik Tok. How often do you find yourself using the app? Do you use it a lot?

Man, um, yeah, it's it's getting um, I use it quite a lot. I try to just like take a break, but sometimes it just pulls me back in and I just end up scrolling for hours and it's really bad, but.

Who's your favorite Sway Boy? Or favorite Tik Toker?

Ooh, I'm not really on like that side.

Really? You're not on that side of the like the big Tik Tokers Tik Tok.

I'm not on like the Hype House side or um, Addison Rae or Charlie. I'm not really on that side, but um, yeah, and then my friends are like, oh, have you heard the new drama with this with so and so? And I'm like, no. I'm like, who's that? Um, yeah, I'm kind of out of it in that side of Tik Tok.

Who's your favorite Tik Toker then, just in general? Do you have one or are you just like everybody?

Oh, there are these two um, redheaded brothers and they make they they make super funny content. Um, their names are like Kyle and Tucker. I don't know um, their their names, but um, their user names, but those are my probably my favorite because they make me laugh a lot.

Oh, like comedy Tik Tok.

Yeah. Yeah.

And have you ever bought anything because of Tik Tok?

I did see the um, the like vines and LED lights, so I have those in my room.

Yeah. Of course. The LED lights, we got to love them. We love the LED lights. Okay. And Justin Bieber's new album. Do you like Justin Bieber?

I was very obsessed with Justin Bieber when I was seven or eight. Um, uh, yeah, I used to listen to him religiously. But um, I haven't I actually haven't been up to date with his music. Um, but I should probably, you know, see.

Look into it and then somehow let us know, DM us or something and tell us what your favorite song is from the new album.

Okay, I will do that.

And then, of course, the past year, besides United States of L, you've been in a lot of different big shows and films. What would you say, like currently, looking back, has been maybe your favorite that you've been in?

I loved working on Utopia and uh, the Code of Many Colors, um, movies. I love The Code of Many Colors because um, so many great people and a lot of kids in it, so I still am friends with all of them to this day. Um, but and Utopia because it was something that I'd never done before, like dramatic and thrilling and um, I made a lot of good bonds and connections. So those two have to be my favorites.

What would you say if you could star in any role, what would your dream role be and that you'd have to have one co-star? So a co-star that you'd just be over the moon about.

I've said this in like so many interviews before, but I'm gonna stick with it because um, it's just something that I really wanna do. Horror movie. Okay. I really wanna do a horror movie. And uh, co-star. Like preferably um, in a horror movie where I was like the one who's fighting against the you know, whatever.

Monster, yeah.

Yeah, yeah. Um, co-star. There are so many people that I look up to, um, acting wise. Yeah. Um, if it was like a kid, I would probably have to say McKenna Grace because um, I've seen a lot of lots of her movies and she's so talented and I would really love to work with her.

Well, maybe you'll be in horror one day. You're on your way. You got comedy knocked off the list. And then what's one thing that you hope that happens in 2021? Like literally it could be anything, personal life, work life, something like you want to happen.

For the sake of the world, I would love for the virus to calm down and everything can go back to normal so we can have like a very fun summer. And I'm but as we know, we have to do our part to make that happen. Um, and stay safe and stay inside. But for myself, and this is probably not gonna happen, but being being the One Direction fan that I am, maybe maybe a reunite thing would be great.

Did you like Harry Styles at the Grammys?

Oh, yeah. I'm I'm very inspired.

I was gonna ask you where do you get your style inspiration from?

Um, recently, very Harry Styles, I would have to say, yeah.

Love it. Well, thank you so much for talking to us at Young Hollywood.

Thank you so much. Can't wait for the show to come out. Thank you so much.
