Would Stars of Disney's Upside-Down Magic Be Friends with Their Characters IRL?

Hi, girls.

Hi.

How are you guys today? You look great.

Thank you.

I like the the blue background too.

Thank you.

Okay, so you're both the stars of Upside-Down Magic, which is so cool. When you had found out that you got the part, what was your reaction?

Gotta that's a

Well, my reaction, when I, well, it was actually a crazy story because me and Siena went in a couple of times together. And um, we went the last time finally and we got told our our amazing director, he was like, So have you guys ever been to Vancouver? And me and Siena were like, No. And he was like, Well, we're going. And and we are remember Siena, you started crying. And I was just in like, I was just speechless. No, no, not to put you on the spot, Siena. She she she's No. No, but it was it was an amazing experience. I remember surprising my um dad my poppy after it and um we I remember us just going out to eat after that and celebrating.

That's so sweet.

Yeah, so we did. We got to experience it together.

I remember giving Isabella a huge hug. Maybe or maybe not crying. And I remember um calling up my manager cuz no, my agents. And then my mom cuz at the time my mom was back home. And my manager actually took me to the audition. And so I I called up my agents and my mom and dad and sister and I tricked them and just told them that I totally like bombed the audition and it was awful and da da da da da and then and then I told them at the end, but that's how I celebrated.

Oh my gosh. That's so nice. And you will remember that forever too, which is amazing because you were together. And then you have the of course the film to, you know, always relive that. Yeah. And you you guys have magic in the film. What growing up, what is one like superpower or magic that you always wanted growing up in your real life?

For me, that was always teleportation. Um cuz I I I want to say reading minds but I think that it just like mess me up. But um I think teleportation because it's like you could I I'm from Hawaii and so going back and forth between Hawaii and LA can be very tricky with my family. So teleporting between places would be so much easier.

See, mine was controlling time because when I didn't like when I was hesitant like kind of like oh, I don't want to do my homework now. You know. And it was like 9:00 at night and I'm like I still don't have my homework down. Done. I was like, Okay, I could just change time to go back and then do my homework then and then have the rest of the day out.

So I love how it was all dictated through your homework. In if you were just to watch the movie, do you guys think that you would be friends with your characters in real life? Like do you relate to them?

I I I do 100%. I I do. I feel like um I think you know, I I I think I would be friends with Reyna in real life because, you know, Reyna I think, you know, she's a very um insecure but Nory's there to pick her up. And when Reyna's when when Nory's like in, you know, insecure about her magic because her magic is different. Um Reyna's there to pick her up as well.

Um, I feel like, I mean, yes cuz I think it's weird because Isabella and I both bring ourselves into the characters. So like the parts of the characters that are ourselves. Um, I think yes. I I mean I definitely would be friends with Nory and Reyna.

Mm. And how are you guys planning to watch the film when it comes out? Like a special way with your families or FaceTime each other?

Probably that as well. We have a we have a group text and so I'll probably be like, Oh my gosh, you guys remember when this the biz? Right? Yes.

And then I'm definitely going to be spending it with my family. Since since we're in quarantine right now, there it's limited options. So what what we're kind of doing is cuz I wasn't actually scheduled to see my family until the end of the year. So to be able to see them now, I've been spending so many quality so much quality time to see them. Um and I, you know, me and my family, I think we're just going to of course, do the UGM group chat. Um but I think definitely we're going to kind of just do a little premiere with the whole family.

Yeah, that'll be cute. And then we have a quick little game who is who if you guys are down.

I'm down.

What's do it?

You'll you'll decide between you two. Okay. Okay. Okay. So if you each had magic in real life, which one of you would use it more, you think?

Oh gosh. I feel like it might be me.

Yep. I think it would be Siena. I mean she said teleportation and she she goes to LA a lot. And she goes back to Hawaii. So she could just tele teleports. So I think it'd be Siena.

Siena.

Um, who texts the other one more?

I think I don't know. I feel like it I think it's oh I think this is Isabella. But on DM. I think it's both of us because we go like on and off. We're just like we usually text each other like, Oh hey, what's up? You know? Or we're excited about the movie. I can't wait for everyone to see it. So I think it's both.

I think it's both cuz that's that one time he texts to like do this whole long conversation. Isabella loves the Instagram reactions. Oh. So maybe I would text more.

Thank you, Siena, for putting me on the spot. No. No, but I yeah, I do use those a lot. I do. Yeah. Guilty.

And who is most likely to watch the movie more?

I watched it last time. She has not even watched it, but how many times have you watched it, Siena?

Three times. Wait, two times, three times?

I've watched it five times. Okay. So, two times for you.

Well, thank you guys so much for talking to us today at Young Hollywood and answering all our questions. We can't wait for the movie to come out.

Thank you so much for having us. We can't wait for everyone to see it.
