Oh, thanks. Good to be back. I love coming here.

Um, I have to actually call you out for a second. Last time you were here, do you remember at the end of the interview you went into the green room and you saw this like really creepy mask that we had.

Oh, oh my God. Wow. That is truly disturbing. It was pretty awesome. I enjoyed. I had a lot of fun doing that.

Young Hollywood

Your movie coming out called The Outcast. Yes. Um, you get pranked, right?

Victoria Justice

Yes. Okay, so that's. That's so yeah it's um it's basically like it's a really fun high school comedy coming of age story. Jody, as you can see like has a very unique sense of style like she doesn't really care what anyone else thinks she wears. Oh my God. So terrifying. Guys, that was so scary. I can't believe I like this. I like the G- Guys, this is the creepiest. Oh my God. Wow. That was really scary. That was fantastic. Props to you guys. I just peed myself. Um, that was our intern. Yeah, but basically what I don't even remember what I was saying. Um, yeah there's a prank that happens and and and that is kind of what gets Yeah that's kind of what starts off. Um Jody and Mindy wanting to like get their like payback and make things right again.

Young Hollywood

It kind of touches a little bit on like, you know, everyone deals especially nowadays like bullying and online bullying. So you kind of like weave in a lot of like really relevant stuff that people relate to right?

Victoria Justice

Definitely. Yeah I think so that's definitely like a theme that you'll see in the movie and um yeah I know a lot of people can relate to that. Unfortunately it's it makes me so sad because the internet can be it could be such an amazing thing and it can be such a place for support and and and awesome stuff but then people can also hide behind their screen names and say awful things and it's just terrible. And the cast by the way is amazing. Like you have so many amazing people in the cast. Eden Sher, Peyton List is in it. My friend Avan Jogia who was on Victorious with me. It was a lot of fun getting to work with him again. We met when I was 15 on a Nickelodeon original movie called Spectacular where we were in um we were in show choirs. And um and we became really close friends after that and he ended up he was living in Canada and then moved to L. A to like pursue acting more and stuff and because there was a lot more jobs kind of here and it was so funny cuz I was I was obviously living here and there was a house across the street from me and the guest house was available to rent. And so we can we like convinced like him and his mom to move in there and um it was so much fun because I had like my best friend right across the street from me and we were always hanging out and and now we're in this movie together and we kind of have like there's a little bit of like a romantic kind of tension going on. Um which was fun. But yeah the whole cast is so great. Eden Sher is awesome. She's hilarious. She's so funny. She's so quirky and she's so cool. Um and Peyton List who's such a sweet girl, so talented, so cool. I mean everyone is awesome. It's a really great cast.

Young Hollywood

So I saw that you also tweeted the other day that it's been seven years since Victorious.

Victoria Justice

Yeah, seven years. Oh my God. Seven years of Victorious. It's so crazy. It it feels like it was just yesterday in a way and then it also feels like it was a lifetime ago.

Young Hollywood

We actually saw a picture because we had Cole Sprouse here the other day and I saw a picture of you two and you were like so little. You guys are so cute.

Victoria Justice

Yeah that was one of my first jobs when I was in L. A. guest starring on The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. Cole's character enters a beauty pageant and like dresses up as a girl to like win some prize or something and I'm the girl that he kind of like falls for and it was my first kiss actually on camera in front of a live audience. And um

Young Hollywood

Wow I think everyone could be a little jealous of Cole Sprouse. Okay lastly we wanted to play a little game. Yes. Of have you played Heads Up?

Victoria Justice

Heads Up. It's only my favorite game ever. Playing golf swinging? Playing tennis? What? Cleaning? Close.
