RJ here. We are hanging out at the Young Hollywood Studio at the Four Seasons Hotel with the cast of Kickass. Woo-hoo. All right, I got to ask you. Have either of you guys ever had your ass kicked before?

Kick Ass

Every day by this girl.

Young Hollywood

I know. I see that, right?

Kick Ass

Um, by my brothers. They do that. Ow. They do that.

Young Hollywood

Don't mess with her. I know. I'm actually scared. I'm not going to go there. What's wrong with your hair? So, does she kick your ass a lot like that on set?

Kick Ass

Always, every day. I said, every day. No, like a talking. I said down and she told me I was in her seat. She already told me to go. She's very intimidating. She thinks she's Hit-Girl, every day. So, you want to play? Who are you? I'm Hit-Girl.

Young Hollywood

So, you have like your own seat there that on set nobody could like get anywhere near your area.

Kick Ass

We used to sit on laps a lot, everyone. You know? I sat on Jane's lap, the writer. A lot. And I sat on Nicholas Cage's lap. But he asked for it.

Young Hollywood

Explain that. Why would you sit on Nicholas Cage's lap?

Kick Ass

Yeah, and when Nick Cage asks you something, you do it. You don't say no to Nicholas. You sit on his lap.

Young Hollywood

So, what else did Nick Cage ask you about? Let's hear this.

Kick Ass

Um, he asked me for lots of acting advice because I've been doing this for a really long time, and he just got started in the business.

Young Hollywood

So, he's going to say he learned everything he he knows in acting from you, right?

Kick Ass

Yeah, from me. You want to go fight some crime?

Young Hollywood

Speaking of Nick now, I heard he gave you a cool little gift.

Kick Ass

He gave me an awesome gift. It's a a starfish necklace.

Young Hollywood

Now, why a starfish?

Kick Ass

Um, he said it was a Oh, I'm going to cry. Oh, it's very sentimental. You're his starfish? There we go. Um, he got me, he gave me a starfish because he said that's what I'm going to be in the future. He's so sweet.

Young Hollywood

Wait, really? You're going to be a starfish in the future? A star. 'Cause he couldn't find just a star. He could only find starfish? Why not a star? Why a starfish?

Kick Ass

He couldn't find a starfish at Tiffany's. I know.

Young Hollywood

Now, in the film you guys play superheroes. So, I'm going to give you a couple superpowers if you had them, I'm curious what you would do in real life. Okay. So, if you had X-ray vision, what would you do, Chloe?

Kick Ass

Oh, God. That's a question for him, I think. Wow. I think.

Young Hollywood

Why?

Kick Ass

'Cause I'm a dude.

Young Hollywood

'Cause he's a dude. Well, let's talk about the outfits now. You had some pretty crazy costumes. The purple hair you had going on. So, did you wear that ever outside of set? Did you go to any like parties or show for your friends?

Kick Ass

I wish I could be Hit-Girl off the set. I mean, I think I'd be very like. Want to murder people off the set? Yeah. Yeah.

Young Hollywood

Explain that one. Whoa. You said you want to be Hit-Girl. I said that. Whoa. She's really sweet. She never swears and she never murders people. Let's she'll pick on me. How many times are you out and people are like, "Oh, it's McLovin."

Kick Ass

It happens a lot. You you're like on the street and you're like, McLovin! Like on the card to drive me home. Yeah.

Young Hollywood

What's the craziest McLovin story when you're out in public?

Kick Ass

Um. Oh, there's a scary one. Where's the one in um in uh Chipotle? I went to Chipotle and there was a some girl like across. This is like three years ago, too. Some girl across. She's like, "It's not him. I swear it's not him." For like ten minutes, she just kept saying that. And I was really fed up with it. I was like, "It's me. It's me!" She like ran over and jumped over my friend's lap and she like grabbed my face and like took a picture with it like that. It was like we're following you home.

Young Hollywood

I want to talk about some of the games. Like when I walked in here, you guys were playing something. I don't know what it was.

Kick Ass

We sing Lady Gaga. Ready? One, two, three. I'm your biggest fan. I'll follow you until you love me. Paparazzi. I think the glass is going to break. I need a harmony. I'm going to do the harmony over there. Um, and we play Slide.

Young Hollywood

How does that work? That's right. Ah! I think she got that one. You won! Somebody just won that! How did that work? Let's go. All right, let's see. So, you go in. Like this. Slide me, Slide me. Slide you. Okay. One, one. Yeah. How come nobody's ever tried to be a superhero? Oh, you shaved. I just realized that. Yeah. Why? He doesn't normally shave? No, he used to have like a beard thing. And why? Why the change of the look?

Kick Ass

It was the bad boy look. I started becoming a douchebag and a bad boy. Like it's just it's the facial hair. Some people don't do. 'Cause she's so scary and completely red. And so I just shaved it off. She's like a situation.

Young Hollywood

Oh, she compared you to the situation now. Can you do the fist pump? Let's see the Jersey Shore. What does he do? Yeah, that. She doesn't have the bicep. I've never seen him do that. Oh, you got you got biceps. For years. Do you know about GTL? GTL. Gym, Tan, Laundry. Is that what he's all about? You're not being a good situation. It's all that is. Every day. I don't want a situation. You threw that on me. I didn't say that. You were down there for like four hours. And he goes, "It's a situation." Okay, here's the last thing I want to know. Okay. You're really swiveling, by the way. Really swi- I like this chair. You guys can't swivel. You don't have the equipment. He's dropping his water. Nice. That was really cool. You're going to put up with it? Let's say that. You have his water. Wow. Uh-oh. Let's do your poker face one more time. I think we need some No, no more Lady Gaga. Just do it really fast. Ready? One, two, three, four.
