What's going on guys? Nicole Cotch in the Young Hollywood Studio hanging out with Nina Dobrev. In honor of Flatliners, we are going to play a game called Operation Get to Know Nina. How it's going to work is you are going to pick out, you're going to do surgery on this guy. Every time you get one, we have some questions in here that we're going to pick at random and then you get to answer them. Cool. Ready?
Cool, cool, cool. All right, here we go. Can I shift this like that? Oh my God, I'm already nervous. I'm also very competitive, I'm sure. I'm getting the dog bone out first. Yes! Nicely done. Boom! Oh, thank you.
That's not where it's supposed to go, is it? No, but that's actually really nice for you, it'll be easy to clean up. Yes! All right. I'm going to give her Okay, favorite place you've ever traveled to?
Bali.
Ooh, really?
Yes.
What about Bali did you love so much?
The beaches, the surfing, the culture, um, it's just it feels like a home away from home for me.
Awesome. Go ahead.
All right. Okay. I don't know how real surgeons do this.
I don't know either.
And their bodies are like squishy and stuff. And they like real people, you know, like their lives depend on it. Totally. This guy doesn't care. This is a hard one.
Favorite accounts to follow on social media.
The Rock just started following me yesterday. Oh, wow! So don't make a big deal out of it, guys. Everyone relax. I don't really care.
Are you sure you don't care?
I don't care so much. No, no, no, I don't care at all. He's so cool. I love him so much. So he's awesome. That I just said it.
Congrats on that.
Thank you.
Congratulations. You're so lucky. That's such an honor. You're doing really good, you haven't buzzed yet. What do I What happens if I buzz? Do you kick me out?
Yeah.
All right. What are you bench watching right now?
I watched Stranger Things.
Oh, that's a good one. Millie Bobby Brown is my life. You're going for all the easy ones first, huh? We'll go. You can hear like a pin needle drop. The pressure. All right, Nina, thanks for coming, you're done. No, I'm just kidding. We can keep playing, let's keep playing.
Okay. You'll edit that out, right? Okay. Thanks, thanks, thanks so much. Wait. Wait, if I touched that, does it count? Oh. That other one didn't count then, I touched it with my finger.
Nina!
No, seriously, look! I didn't know you. Are you sure right now? Can we get a repeat like in a football game? Can we Can we rewind? Rewind, rewind. And see if this actually touched or if it was my finger. Okay. All right. Let's get this one. It's okay if you beep. Nope, it's not. Trying to make it easier on you. Nicely done.
Something new you learned recently?
Ooh, this is a crazy story. Um, Oh. Yeah. I actually almost got into a plane crash recently. When you think about it, it's a giant piece of metal that's floating in the air, like it shouldn't be there. If the nose dips even just a little bit, then the whole plane goes sideways and once it goes this way, there's no matter what the pilots do, there's no way to actually
Really? Just because of how heavy the plane is?
Yeah, it's because of the engines, because there's no air going through the engines, so once they go this way, it can't, like it needs the air to be pushing through. Okay. And so, um, I was on a plane where all the power went off and they couldn't get it to come back on again, so the pilot was phys- like with his arms physically holding the nose up. And if he got tired, if he let go even for a second, we would've gone down.
Oh my God.
100%. It wasn't until we landed and I saw that the pilot was crying that I was worried.
Oh wow. Yeah. All right, one more, Nina. Let's do one more.
Okay. Yeah, but there's so many more. You're going to go for the broken heart. Oh, that's so sad. We're Flatliners. Good way to go out. Nicely done. Ah! All right. This one's fun.
Favorite selfie filter.
Sometimes I play with like the silly filters but I I really like to try to not use filters if I can, because I think that's important to show people that that's okay, you don't have to mask it and put a bunch of stuff on top of it to to present yourself to the world. The person that you are is the person you should be showing.
I love that.
So I try. But I don't always do it.
We're going to end on that note because that was very inspirational. And I love that. Nina, you're amazing. Thank you so much for playing our game and we can't wait to see what you do next.
Thank you. Thank you, thank you.
