There's not really a business for what I want to do there. Fair enough. But I do love getting to go visit. I'm very glad that I feel like my parents will never ever leave.

So, do you spend more of your time there or here now?

Uh, I'm spending more and more time in uh in Los Angeles in America. So, yeah.

And both for acting, obviously. Although, you could be spending time here for singing.

Uh, I don't know about that.

So, Forever My Girl, the film that you two worked together on, literally the first scene, you open your mouth and I was like, is that his real voice? Why is he an actor? Like, you could be a full-time country singer.

Not only that, but I don't know if they told you, he didn't know He had never sung in front of people. He sang in the shower. Right? Self-proclaimed shower singer. Completely learned how to sing and play the guitar for this film. He worked his butt off. Oh. He really did.

Yeah. Did you just do music, like musical training and learn how to play guitar, or was this all

Yeah, I I'd like picked up the guitar a few times when I was a kid. Uh, my mom got me one. But I was I quickly realized I had no real skill. Um, and yeah, so never took any lessons or anything. But yeah, I for this, I'd just listened to country music all day every day. And then me and uh this guy Brett Boyette worked on developing Liam's sound.

Oh, I really did, yeah. For your love. Norland, thank you. You guys are awesome. I'm sorry about your grandma, Josie. Hey, Liam. Hey, dad.

We did some Liam and Josie dates to prep.

So, what did you guys do?

Yeah, we went to to a blues bar that was like basically sawdust all over the floor. Like. Play pool. Still in Rick beer. A 75-year-old like guitarist. Setting the characters so well. There was definitely some washboarding going on.

Yeah, for sure. Uh, what's washboard?

The with the washboard, when they play the washboard. Oh, that's Yeah, yeah. Yeah, a little bit of that going on.

Oh, in this film, your high school sweethearts, right? Did either of you have a high school sweetheart?

Oh, for sure.

Yeah? You know the name of your

I do. I know the first and last name of every boy I ever had a crush on. You remember You know you remember it. Right. Of course. I had a couple, but my real high school sweetheart was this guy named Harry. And he had blonde, wild hair and wore lime green pants all the time. And we were in We were in a play together. Our senior year, or my senior year. He was a junior. I was like totally robbing the cradle. And we had a make out scene. And during the final dress rehearsal, I got a bloody nose in the middle of the scene and didn't know until I pulled back and there was blood all over his face. And I was like head over heels with this guy. I hadn't told him. And I was mortified. I was I was dying inside. And he was a really good sport about it and laughed it off. And then like a couple hours later, I went up to him and I was like, I'm so sorry. Again. He was like, no, it's totally fine. At least it didn't happen to you with your boyfriend. And I was like, he's never gonna love me. And then. No. And then like two weeks later, we started dating.

Did you tell him? Did you tell him, I actually have

Not in that moment. I was too way too embarrassed. But no bleeding. No nose bleeding during any of the kiss in this movie for her. No nose bleeding during any of it.

Yeah, I'm a little bit offended actually. I feel like you like when you fancy someone I held out. I held out on you obviously. A nose bleed on them and I missed out.

No, we had we had some very romantic moments in the movie. We definitely. We had some of those like I love movies like this. And I remember watching rom-coms when I was 13. And in watching those moments where you're like, I just want to be that girl. And there were some moments in this film where I would like they would yell rolling and then action and I'd step out and be about to do something and be like, I'm that girl right now. This is insane. It was really cool. So cool.

Well, you guys can't give away too many secrets because people watching, friends and fans watching have to check out the movie. That's true. So, thank you guys so much for being here. So great to see you both.
