What's going on, guys? Nicole Koch in the Young Hollywood studio, hanging out with Bo Mirchoff.

Beau Mirchoff

Hello.

Young Hollywood

How are you?

Beau Mirchoff

Excellent. I'm happy to be back here.

Young Hollywood

Yeah, I was about to say, welcome back. It feels like it was just yesterday, though. Oh, wow.

Beau Mirchoff

Yeah.

Young Hollywood

You have some good memories here, huh?

Beau Mirchoff

Yeah, good. All the best.

Young Hollywood

Yeah. I looked at your Instagram.

Beau Mirchoff

Mhm.

Young Hollywood

You've been posting a lot of pictures of you in the nature, like the trails with your dog.

Beau Mirchoff

Yes.

Young Hollywood

But then, you told me that there's a really cool reason.

Beau Mirchoff

Yes, there is. So, I made a little bit of a life change. Yeah. So, I rented my place out for the next year. I purchased a camper van. Named it Van Gogh. It's a it's a guy. And I'm living in this van for the next little while, a few months. We'll see how long. Doing a lot of just cruising around, exploring, and kind of trying to live a little more minimalist and see how that goes.

Young Hollywood

Wow. That's honestly so cool.

Beau Mirchoff

It's I mean, I'm still in like the honeymoon phase. It's been about a month. But I'm like absolutely loving it. It's so liberating.

Young Hollywood

What made you want to do that?

Beau Mirchoff

I love work, and I love all that, but there's other other things to life, you know? There's other experiences to be had. And you and especially in Los Angeles, you can kind of it's this rat race, and you can kind of just get entrenched in it and not realize there's some, you know, big world out there. So it's nice to kind of unplug and then once you go back to LA, it's like it's fresh, it's vibrant, it's awesome to be to be back in the city.

Young Hollywood

But now back to work because here you are, and you're going to tell us about flatliners. That's right. Which is super cool. Super cool. I mean, it's about medical students who they stop their heart but bring themselves back to life just in time, right?

Beau Mirchoff

Well, um, yes. Well, why don't you tell me? It's your it's your film. Why don't I tell you about it? So you have it exactly right, but the the reason they do that is because they're very intrigued with what lies beyond. Yeah. So they want to stop their hearts to have an experience of the afterlife. Or lack thereof. Or what is it? So they do that, but with every action there is, you know, consequences. So they're like biggest sins come back to haunt them. It's scary. It's a lot, it's very frightening.

Young Hollywood

Well, what was it like? Don't stop your heart. Don't try it.

Beau Mirchoff

Yeah, I'm not really into it.

Young Hollywood

So would you stop your heart?

Beau Mirchoff

It stopped right now. I'm looking into your eyes.

Young Hollywood

Oh, my God, you are a cheeseball, mister. Look at it. He thought that was so good.

Beau Mirchoff

Oh, I did not. No, I did not.

Young Hollywood

Are you embarrassed now?

Beau Mirchoff

Yeah, I'm I'm red. I'm as red as that orb.

Young Hollywood

Maybe you should just find, you know, time before the doctor man lives you up. You're right. But it's time that we go off script a little bit.

Beau Mirchoff

Yeah!

Young Hollywood

Toss your inhibitions. Because it's time to boogie. Party, Bo.

Beau Mirchoff

It's like you're on complete opposite spectrums there. Uh-huh.

Young Hollywood

And it's with your bestie. Yeah. Fred Davern.

Beau Mirchoff

I know, I got to do another another movie with my best friend.

Young Hollywood

How was that?

Beau Mirchoff

It's amazing. It's so fun.

Young Hollywood

I mean, I can imagine. We actually went to a big screening of it at Sony. It's really funny. And uh, you should watch it for free.

Beau Mirchoff

For free?

Young Hollywood

For free. You got me there. I wasn't going to watch it if it wasn't for free.

Beau Mirchoff

I know, it's free. I'm just kidding.

Young Hollywood

Okay, really quickly before we go out, because it is based around like this big party. We're going to ask you some rapid-fire party questions. So rapid fire, answer them as quickly as you can, okay?

Beau Mirchoff

All right, are you more likely to throw a party or attend one? Throw. All right.

Young Hollywood

Where are you at a party? Dance floor, talking to friends?

Beau Mirchoff

Oh. So, you know, I start out on the peripheral. You know, get comfortable, have a drink, see what's up. Okay. And then I hit that dance floor. And I'm not off for the rest of the night.

Young Hollywood

There you go. My last one and this is how we're going out. What's your go-to party dance move? Throw it to camera.

Beau Mirchoff

Thank you, Young Hollywood. There you go. I do do the wall.

Young Hollywood

Are you serious?

Beau Mirchoff

No, I'm making this up right now.

Young Hollywood

In the middle of the crowd, this is just all you're doing?

Beau Mirchoff

Oh, yeah. They go crazy.

Young Hollywood

Nice. Well, there you guys have it. You just got to really know Bo in a really interesting way. Yeah. You're awesome.

Beau Mirchoff

Cool. Thank you so much.

Young Hollywood

Come back anytime. Nice sticking with you.
