Hello. I'm Percy. And I'm sitting here with young Hollywood at the park in santa Monica. We're about to play a fun little game.

What's up? Young Hollywood today? We are with a very special guest. Hello Percy.

Hello, how are you?

I'm good. How are you?

I'm so great.

So if you guys have watched Wednesday on netflix you all know Percy. Very recognizable face and we are going to be playing the sketch game. So I haven't told you anything that we're really doing so but in the show Xavier he can really draw, he can sketch. He's really good artists painting and charcoal and everything and then make it come to life. What about Percy? What can Percy do with the marker?

Is Percy can't really do that. Unfortunately not gonna be able to make these come to life really bad at drawing despite all the drawing lessons that they gave me. It never really worked. So we'll see how this turns out.

It's gonna be even more fun. You can draw. Okay so we have a list of or not list but we have a bunch of different things you have to draw. You're gonna pick one up. Hand it to me. I'm gonna read off what you have to draw. Okay and you have 30 seconds to do your best.

Yeah. I don't know if we'll get through all of them but all of them are great and your

You have 30 seconds or less. So it turns out horrible, horrible. If it's great then it's great but 30 seconds. Okay and then afterwards we'll ask you a couple questions about the show because everybody wants to know everything. We're going to find everything out.

Okay, sounds good.

Okay. You ready? You have your eye on one of them. Okay? Okay, first one, first you have 30 seconds to draw the monster from Wednesday. Ready? Go.

I cheated. I started too soon.

We he's disqualified but he must continue. We must continue. Okay, keep going. I'll count you down when there's five seconds left. Um it's kind of like this, he's got this sort of big guys here Ready? 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 stop, wow. He looks fantastic. But that's actually really good for someone that can't draw. Oh my God, I love this little hair situation. The eyes, I think you nailed the eyes.

Yeah, the eyes are what makes them very tim Burton.

What would you rate it? This? Yeah. Your job here.

two out of 10.

Okay. So you've had a lot of scenes with Jenna Ortega in the show Wednesday. In between scenes shooting when you were having conversations in the range of the umbrella. Did you ever see her blink?

Yeah, dude, she had, I mean that wasn't going to be a thing, but then the first like take that they did, she didn't blink throughout it and then tim Burton saw that and he was like, hey, I like that you're not blinking. Keep it up. And she was like, so then she just had to like never blink. Start the whole thing, but we would have like staring contest and stuff.

Did you ever win?

No of course not, Jenna takes the lead in the staring contest.

Do you think that you would want to play Wednesday? Her character?

I don't think I could do the character justice. I think um I think it would cause a bit of an uproar uh and also I think that she killed it so much so that I don't think that that's her role now, that's just like that.

Okay and for Xavier when you read the script through, once you got the part, were you excited about his character? Like did you think of things you wanted to put a twist on?

Yeah, I was like, well I thought he was a monster at first because I didn't read the last couple episodes until we were already shooting so I didn't know and like nobody knew and I was really excited um to like learn how to, you know shoot the bow and arrow and do all the drawing and stuff and yeah, I just, I don't know. I thought he was very like, he's very much like me, just like dramatic.

Love that. Okay, are you buying another one? Let's see, Let's see. Okay. Ready you have 30 seconds to do your best drawing of yourself. Ready? 321.

This is gonna be the oh my God dude this is horrendous. It's kind of accurate. I got my acne and now we're going

54321 and he's magic man, look at you, okay, hold it up, compare it to yourself. Percy Cheese, look how cute.

30 seconds is not enough.

We will not be extending the rules One out of 10. He's not as attractive as the monster, I feel like there's a monster monster that you're mean mugging, kind of, you're kind of browning there. Okay, so we kind of talked about this before the interview started, but social media, you're insane, blow up over a couple of nights. So how is life in on your instagram account?

It's just normal. I mean, I don't know, I just find it all funny. It's not really like, I feel like instagram is so it's just so not real like it's, it's all just like, I don't know little numbers and that's the thing, it's like you'll see no matter how many followers you get there can always be more. So there's never any like feeling of satisfaction. So like followers don't matter. They're just, I don't know, it's, it's been very normal. I've been just like joining random group chats that people had Me too and I don't know, it's, it's funny so yeah,

What do you remember going to bed with before the show came out and then what do you remember waking up with after the first day,

I think I was, I think I said I, I went to sleep and then I woke up the next day and I had gained Like 30,000 followers. And then every day since then it's been like 100,000. I don't know. It's, it's weird.

What's the craziest um You've got so far? Oh man. Either humor or hitting on you. What is in the craziest one? You're just like out of pocket,

Super out of pocket was somebody DM my mom and said, tell Percy to check his D. M. It's urgent. And then I was like, what's the name? And I went and searched and I checked the DM and it just said, can I slurp you up? Why don't you have to d m my mom for this.

At least she didn't demure mom and be like, oh, what did it say? This is what I'm trying to send him. You could have your son check this message, this is what I want from him.

Yeah. I don't know. D. M. S are really weird, but I love joining the group chats of like all the fans of the show or whatever. And I'm just, I'll just be like, what's up? And they'll be like, oh my God, you answered D M You saw it, we'll send them a picture of this, be like, I'm here babe,

Okay, pick your next one. Let's see which one you want now. Mhm. A tattoo for Jenna. A tattoo that you would draw for Jenna, Jenna would have to tattoo on her body.

Oh my God, we actually tried to come up with one but it was so hard and indecisive, we all wanted to get one out in Romania. Yeah, like a matching one, but it was like really hard to pick. That's a tough one. Dude. I'm gonna have to make it something stupid.

You guys didn't end up getting them though.

No, we never did. We should, maybe you'll get them one day, You never know. Okay, do you have an idea? I think I do. Ready? 321 go. Let's see. Oh, this is horrific. Well, just know she's getting it tattooed on her. This is called the bonzo Dog, which is my nickname for her. Um after a band that we listened to when we first got to Romania called the bonzo Dog doo dah band. What a band name. Yeah, so this guy, I was a good story and forgot. Okay, that's him.

That's a really, really, that's a really ugly tattoo, cute dog. Very horrific tattoo right here under your arm. It's just that it would be a good tramp stamp. Here you go. Wait, so how close would you say that you and Jenna and the rest of the cast? Emma, everyone got,

Dude, that's like, I've never worked with a cast before. I've never worked with a cast before who's been so like, like usually you go and you work on the show and everyone's just kind of co workers and like not really friends. Like, you know hanging out outside of work. But like we all still hang out and we're all just like really tight. We're in group chats and it's just like, I don't know, I am very appreciative for all those guys because I wouldn't have been able to make it through, you know, shooting in Romania without them. And I don't know. It's just like it's really cool.

Yeah and you're in L. A. Now but you live in Toronto. So when you're in L. A. Are they in L. A. To are they all over?

Sometimes Hunter lives here. I went out for korean barbecue with him yesterday. And Emma's shooting a movie here. Joy comes down here. Sometimes we're interviewing. Yeah but on zoom because she's in the city. Yeah. And I think Jenna lives here but she's never she's all over the world. I think she's just in brazil doing. She's in brazil right now. She's all over the place, Wednesday is very very high right now.

Okay, ready for next one. We're gonna do you're gonna sign all these at the end. We're gonna give them to your fans. That girl that you know we're giving her the self portrait immediately. Okay pick the one you want to just know that the moon and the stars. That one's too easy. You can skip. We'll give you an allowance to skip. What did I write? Your favorite thing, you own favorite thing I own. Wait, let me think. Let me think.

Let me think. Mhm. Oh Ready? 3 2 1 Go.

Oh this is already terrible.

Is the favorite thing you want actually. Green. Okay. Could never guess what that is. It also has one red door. All right. And it is people better start commenting and guessing when they're watching this.

My van that my grandpa gave me and my mom and I drive it everywhere and it's a hunk of junk and it's really loud and uh it's a Volkswagen €92 van and I love it. Um Yeah and I've crashed it before and I drove across America in it and it's my favorite possession.

That is it. That's your van.

My van, you have a green van.

It's called the rocket ship. You named it, the rocket ship. It took you across the country. What was your favorite destination?

Oh man. So we went down to austin texas for a music festival boston, it was the best. And then we drove over to California, like through Nevada and all that stuff. And I think my favorite place was probably the white sands of new Mexico which is just like this like endless sand dunes and it was that was really fun.

Okay, so kind of recap your year, the last year of your life. What have you done?

Oh it was crazy. I was in Romania. I okay, well I started off in Toronto for christmas break. I got my wisdom teeth out. I finished up in Romania for three months and then I was in Toronto for a month and then I drove across America in the van over May and I spent june and july um here in America and I got a concussion on the fourth of july uh I was on a bird scooter and I was very intoxicated and I fell and I woke up in the hospital and then yeah and then august and september, I was filming a movie in Muskoka in Ontario, like rom com and then in october I did a bunch of press for the show and I was in Mexico and Nashville and new york and um then I started doing another movie in Utah and yeah, now I'm here in L. A.

Crazy crazy year for you.

It's crazy. It's been crazy.

Has more happened in this last year than any other year.

100%. It's like nonstop stuff. It's really, it's really, it's a good distraction.

What was your favorite part?

Favorite part was probably um Getting home after Romania was just like I had the best april, it was just like I saw everybody and just did everything

Okay and you filmed rom com but we have a question related to the show that is kind of wrong home. So would you want to see you know, there's a season two yet. Okay, so you don't know, would you want to see in season two potentially. Xavier on Wednesday Have some kind of romance.

I think she's above romance. Dude. If I if she's gonna be romantic with anybody, it's gotta be enid. That's all I'm thinking. But I think at the end of the day I think she's above it after especially the fiasco of kissing a monster serial killer.

Imagine. Okay, ready for your next God.

Yeah. Okay, let's see. Do you like it?

Favorite article of clothing you on? You've been kind of good at drawing the entire time. I can't do my hat because I already drew that on me so you can make a new one. There's gotta be some. I think there's definitely hard ones in it. The last thing I hate. Can I eat? Okay. 8 8. Ready? 321 Go. This is too easy. Mhm.

It is a blueberry muffin and it was really good and crumbly. And I eat blueberry muffins all the time.

That your favorite food.

No, I kind of, I'm not really a breakfast guy. So I start off with something easy, which is the blueberry muffin and all the details here, All the crumbs on the floor. A little bit on the floor.

Okay that does not look like a blueberry moment. Looks so messed up. It looks like a looks like a science experience a planet like craters. The craters of the blueberries. Okay. Pick which one. That was one, werewolf, werewolf. That's a good one. Okay, that's a hard one. That is hard. I don't even know where to start, what part, what color is brown or black? Gray. Gray is a good one, so Okay, ready? I'll start the timer.

I cheated.

You've cheated three times, but I'm sorry, it's fine. Uh Oh my God, this is terrible. I've got to do it like um like in its werewolf with the rainbow hair, we'll add the nails, the hair. So bad. Wait, you had drawing lessons though?

Yeah, you can tell I was picking up on it because I really was way oh my God, that's crazy. Okay, wait, oh, I love the calves on this thing. Are these red eyes and then I'm gonna do something crazy. Crazy hair.

He gets, he's creative. I picked up your creative. This is Wednesday work. Yeah, let's just eat it here. Eden. Care to care to comment on this situation, We'll call it. Okay. Rainbow rainbow, it was wearable, but he decided rainbow wearable. So he put his own little twist on it. What was the hardest scene to film for you? And did you like having the paint blood all over you all the time? That was fun. That was really cold. Everyone, I didn't mind that though.

Um I don't know the hardest thing to film. I always just say like it was difficult to like sort of suspend your disbelief or I don't know if I'm using that phrase correctly, but when you're acting like with fantasy elements. Um Sometimes and you have to like keep it grounded and natural and then you're talking about like a monster or like the crypt of joseph crack stone or whatever. It's like that's kind of difficult acting wise but like um in terms of like actually physically hard to to film I would say um probably the rowing um was difficult and cold and I was in a clown costume, we love the clown costume. So that was maybe that was maybe the challenge or like archery, I'm terrible at archery but honestly yeah I think I think physically like we had to train like learned how to row a boat as a team for like a month to do that scene, you train for that for a month like growing waking up every day at six a. m. And going out to like

Yeah what else do you have to learn? Drawing lessons learned to row a boat as a team drawing, fencing, archery, rowing um dancing and you know this prior to going Romania that you're gonna have to do all this or when you got there you kind of learned that you guys were gonna doing lessons and stuff.

We knew because like they said you have to come out early to like learn everything and we're like oh my God yeah it was fun though and like stunts just general stunts, what are the best at

um I don't not drawing, not drawing, I really don't think, I mean maybe the wrong. I feel like I got the hang of. It depends on the teammates to me and Georgie. We're a good team. Perfect. Wait, get your phone, get your phone. Okay. Now you have to show us a picture in your camera roll that you have not posted on social media yet. From filming. Sorry, don't make the rules once again enforce them. Oh my gosh. Okay. I have a folder called clown pics. That's a very important folder to have though because you were a clown for probably hours on end. Right? Yeah. You can be a meme to, you know how like there's memes on Tiktok where it's like me like sending her like double text or something and then it's just a clown. Yeah. Make yourself a meme.

I will. This is a picture of my lover. His name is Georgie and he's here pictured with a ladybug. Which this is the day that we learned how to say ladybug in Romanian? How do you say it like, so if you ever wanted to know how to say ladybug in Romanian, it's and that's a farmer with a Beretta.

There you go exclusive. That's a young Hollywood exclusive. Okay, we'll do one more. I'm gonna show you them all so you can pick which one you want for the last one. This is great. You have a choice, huh? You don't like moon stars. Favorite city. It would be hard to draw a city. I'm gonna do, I'm gonna do the nevermore uniform. There you go. It's classic. It's easy. The never more uniform do you get to keep any of the clothes?

Um, no, I got, although they sent me some stuff afterwards.

Okay. You ready? Ready? Going to start it. We'll see how you do.

My first zoom meeting with Colleen Atwood who designed the wardrobe for the show. I slept through it. I missed it and she is one of the most legendary costume designers ever and I just slept through the interview. Yeah, so that was cool and I think she hates me now.

At least you call her legendary, she sees this. Just know she is legendary. Okay. I want extra time on this. I demand it. Okay. You make the rules now because she deserves it. Okay. Ready? So this is the hood I'm gonna draw. I think I'm gonna draw georgie with his little beanie. No snakes, no snakes. He's there. Okay. And there's the heavy strings. Okay. You've got the black pants here. Would you ever be yourself for Halloween next year? Would I be savior? Yeah. Um, I would, yeah. You know what? I would, it would be cool to be Tyler as well to be the monster. Maybe I'm not supposed to spoil it. Do you want to be season two?

Of course I would like a job.

Where would you want to film what country? What plays?

I think? Well I would actually love a season two cause I would love to work with all those guys again. I think they're so fun to work with.

I think you're going to get it. I'm just like a wild rough guess, but All right. This is the Nevermore uniform. It's very rough, but this is what it looks like. It looks so good. Purple and black. There you go. Um Yeah, I don't know where they, I think they're talking about filming it a little closer to home. So either, I mean if if, if they were to film it, they wanted to be either in Atlanta, which is Emma's town, London, which is George's town and Tim's or Toronto, which is my town. So someone, we're going home to someone's home. Someone's home regardless. It would be, it would be a good time. Okay, I'm gonna give him and write it. Do a little rating down here just cause Mr Cool guy. I'm gonna do, let's say that. I think it's M. E. M. E. That have this statue or like Oscars, Oscars, there you go. 77 out of 10. A little bit more effort this time, but still pretty bad.

Did you like the game? That was a great game. That was a great.

It was like another drilling lesson in Romania. Yeah, I would need a translator though. My drawing teacher was remaining.

Did you pick up any, did you learn a little bit ladybug.

Yeah, I learned Msk, which is thank you. I learned, which is how are you? And I learned all the swear words. Of course, priorities, priorities. That's about it.

There you go. Well, thank you so much for coming on young Hollywood.

Thank you for having me. This was a great interview.

Such a star. And you killed it. You really killed on Wednesday. Unreal.

Great, appreciate it. All right. So we're finished with the sketch game. I had a good time. I don't know about you guys, but yeah, I'm percy. You can follow me on instagram or whatever. It's just percy. And you can watch Wednesday on netflix today.
