I didn't I didn't I didn't say anything. I didn't say if it was true or not true. I just
What you did negate though. I just I just ate my food. Like I should be doing.
You've opened one of these in your day.
I have. Bella knows her food. I eat a lot of cheeseburgers. It's like breakfast, lunch and dinner. Not being able to die in a film is really depressing. So I was really excited when they were like, Okay, Bella, your your throat, it's getting slit. And I was like, Yes.
It's always a good day when Bella Thorne comes because I get food.
You know what? It's always a bad day when you realize that you're not on the famous pillow. I'm a little offended.
do it. I know Bella came in and she's like I'm a little offended. And she's like, Zendaya's on the pillow and I'm not on the pillow. You can't get one without the other. We'll just do one big Bella picture in the back. But that make up for it?
I actually think that's a much better idea. Do you I can send you some personal photos if you want. Like some.
That would be great. Yeah. No. We'll just go through your iPhone. You don't mind. Yeah. Would that be like would that freak you out? Because I always have fear that someone's going to go through my iPhone because I have way too many selfies.
Well, yeah. I mean, I don't really take a lot of selfies, though. That's my problem. It's like I look in the camera and I just see all the ugly lighting. And so I like don't even waste my time.
You're really good with the selfies.
I'm really good with the selfies. I can pull off a selfie. And you can pull off the low camera. I can't do that.
I can do the low camera. I I Yeah, I have to do the high. I'm so old school.
Yeah, but the high just makes your head look too big for your body.
Yeah, but then I look skinnier. I look like I look like a bobble head on my body. It looks very weird for me. Really? But then the angle of the face. I would sacrifice that for the a better angle on the face. You got to have a good face to do the the lower thing. I just look like a mug shot or something.
You have a very good face.
Thanks, Bella. That's not true. Um, so the last time you were in here, just to set this up, you demanded. You demanded. You're very demanding. You demanded to be on the pillow. You demanded a cheeseburger the next time you came in here. It was yours.
Can I tell you my current like someone that I just like, Oh my gosh. Okay, Ryan Hurst from Sons of Anarchy. I just like if I can work with him, I would die and come back to life and then die once again and then eat a fat cheeseburger and then I love him from Sons of Anarchy.
Can somebody get Bella some food, please? The next time you come in here, we'll make sure we have your full meal set for you.
I expect that on my next film that I'm in here for an interview. I expect that. I'm not going to lie. I'm a big pickle fan.
Wait. Speaking of pickles, you just gave me the best segue I've ever had at Young Hollywood. Drew Barrymore, we're talking about Scream and she calls you her pickle. Why is that?
You know, I think it's because I look like a pickle.
Today you do.
I'm a pickle. Um, I have a lot of bad seeds in there. No. Um, uh I'm not sure why. You know, I always asked her and she was just like, I don't know, you're just pickle to me. So, you know, everybody else on the set got really cute names and I got pickle.
So you work together on Blended. Mhm. Following her in her footsteps. I know you guys sort of redid it and did your own thing. But did you guys talk about it before you shot it? Like did she know you were going to do it?
No, no, no. You know, Drew and I don't talk about the business. It's like we we talk about very personal things and to me this wasn't like, Oh my gosh, I could do it like I'm just not like that about projects and uh and it's very different from her scene.
Call 911. Calling Pottery Barn. I have a multiple choice question for you. Yes. You ready? Which one of Drew's movies would you remake? 50 First Dates. Another Adam Sandler. Charlie's Angels. Oh. Why do you even put that in there? I mean, obviously, that's the winner. Poltergeist, though. It's a nice little horror.
You know, I had a I had a chance to do that movie. I didn't do it. I couldn't do it. Really? The dates didn't work out. But that's what happens when you do like seven movies in a year. Um, E. T. I really am not a big fan of remaking classics. So when I did the Amityville Horror, I was like, we remaking Amityville Horror? Like, come on. It's Amityville Horror. It's not a big deal. But we didn't remake it. We did a reboot, which is very different. Right. So that's allowed. Okay. But I don't believe necessarily in remaking classics.
And the last one is He's Just Not That Into You.
That's a great film too, but I have to go with Charlie's Angels because I love the badass chicks and I think that was the first movie that showed men that women can be independent. And I'm a big feminist, so I'd say that movie for sure.
So you're in the first eight minutes of Scream. But you did say, you will see me again. So what does that mean? Don't don't quote me. Don't get me in trouble with MTV. What are you doing to me? Um, Because I have theories. Because you, you know, you so you sort of reboot the classic scream scene that Drew Barrymore did. You put your own twist on it and it was fantastic. And no one rocks a bikini like you.
Oh, gosh. Oh, no. I don't know if that's true. No, it's true. I'm pretty sure all the Victoria's Secret models can rock a bikini better than me.
No, no, no. It was it was fantastic. So are you coming back in the series? And are you because I have theories and you can just twitch or blink or do something if I get it right, okay? Okay. Go. You staged your own death and you put it on YouTube. So that whole thing was just fake. And you're going to come back and you're the killer.
Not true.
Okay. You can flat out tell me that's not it. Okay. Um, my other theory is you're just going to come back as a ghost.
Oh. Not true. No.
And my last theory is that you're just going to come back in a series of like prequel flashbacks to what led up to your death.
Thank you. That's what I did. I didn't I didn't I didn't say anything. I didn't say if it was true or not true. I just
What you did negate though. I just I just ate my food. Like I should be doing. Like a good pickle. Um, okay, so I'm thinking that might be what it is. Can you confirm anything? You're not even looking at me anymore. Don't get me in trouble. We don't even need scoop here at Young Hollywood. I just like I I just have really into this show now based on the fact that they were genius to release the first eight minutes. It's really good. Right?
Yes. No, it's really good.
So how fun was it for you to do a first like an on-screen death scene where you're getting
It was awesome cuz I I love horror films. It's my favorite genre. So, um, not being able to die in a film is really depressing. So I was really excited when they were like, It's like a dream. Okay, Bella, your your throat, it's getting slit. And I was like, Yes. I'm so excited with the blood spurting out and
You can reenact. I'm ready to. We have a knife. Wait, we have a knife and we have ketchup. We could do it right here. You're giving people some very interesting ideas. Um, okay, because, um, you are killed in the show, maybe. Um, I wanted to ask you about your opinion about people who are killing it in the business right now. So I wanted to ask you who you think is killing it on Instagram. Why don't you give me a multiple choice question? You kill it on Instagram. Come on. I follow you on Instagram.
I feel like I don't kill it on Instagram.
No, you do.
Really?
Yeah. Really? I don't know. I feel like I don't know. You just have the vibe of like, I don't try too hard, but here's the most perfect picture ever.
Oh, God. No. But I didn't even try. Meanwhile, I've five filters later and I'm still trying to get like the right picture. You don't want to see all this. No, because I look better blurry. And personal. I I look better blurry. We look better blurry. Can you just Can you just put some Vaseline on that lens real quick. Thank you.
Rosie, she follows you.
Yeah, Rosie Whitely follows me. That was very cool. Although she only likes my bikini pics.
Really? What's wrong with that?
I have to post more bikini pics so I can get more Rosie Whitely likes. That's that's not a bad endorsement at all. She likes she's a bikini model, so. Um, who else kills it on Instagram? I'm trying to think. Um,
Now that I It is tough to answer your own questions. I'm like, who I can't even answer my own questions.
Zendaya kills it on Instagram. She kills it. Let's be honest. She really kills it on Instagram. You know, when she does those videos and she's like, people. Her her accent is so funny when she like gets all in the screen with her no makeup. I'm just like, yes, girl. Rock it out.
Okay, that's a good answer. Okay. Who's killing it in music?
Who's not killing it in music? Well, people who we don't know about. People that haven't made the top charts. Greg Salkin's killing it. He's thanking his lucky stars right about now. Cause I follow both of you. Sometimes I can't tell, who's feed, who. I'm like, who posted that one?
Bella? We're literally our our Insta might as well just be one Instagram because we post so many photos.
Because this is an iconic, you know, scene that you're bringing back. I wanted to ask you about your icons. What was the most in your opinion iconic kiss on screen? I want to put a little girl on girl action in there considering the circumstances.
Jennifer's Body, that's a good kiss between Amanda and and Megan. I mean, two beautiful, gorgeous girls and they kiss and it's just like, Oh my god, this is so beautiful. It's like too much beauty in one screen.
It was a lot to take, wasn't it?
Yeah, it was. Um, and meeting an icon. Favorite moment. Meeting one of your icons. When I met Christian Bale. I told you the story, didn't I?
No.
Coolest thing that's ever happened to me in my life. So, we go to this voltage after party, my sister and I walk in. Obviously, we know Christian Bale's going to be there. Who's like my number one favorite actor. I'm obsessed with him. I love him. And we're like, Oh, you want to say hi? I'm like, no. Obviously, I'm not going to say hi to him. Like that would be weird. So then Woody Harrelson walks in. Everybody's dressed in ball gowns. He's dressed in actual pajamas. And uh Danny and I stop him and we're like, Oh my god, I like your outfit. You look so cool. And he's like, thanks, thanks. And he looks at us and he's like, you girls seem nice. You want to go hang out over there? We're like, yes, we want to go hang out over there. Like, yes, let's go hang out over there. Anytime with Woody Harrelson. Then Christian Bale comes up and he literally goes to introduce himself to somebody, then goes like this and goes, Oh my god, it's Bella Thorne from Shake It Up. He didn't even call me CC. He knows my name. And it was like, he probably thought that I was like mean because I just like looked at my sister and I looked at Woody who's giving me the oddest look cuz he didn't know who I was. And He's like, I just thought this girl was hot. I just thought this girl was like cool. Like she's just chillin. And I literally was like, oh my oh my god. He was like, Oh my god, my daughter loves you. I've watched every single episode. It records over all my motorcycle shows. I'm never able to watch my motorcycle shows cuz I always have to watch you dancing on TV. And I was like, you know, we should we should get a photo not because you know, you're my favorite actor or anything. But because your daughter loves me. And he was like, yes, Can we your daughter. Totally for your daughter. Let me take it on my phone. Let me throw a light flare on there. That was legit.
Yeah. That was legit. I saw that picture too. It's on my Insta. It's and and I just wanted to tell you that the beard was so soft.
Oh, did you nestle into the beard? I just wanted to like I'm not going to lie. His wife was standing there that obviously would have been inappropriate. Who's so beyond gorgeous. But I low-key just wanted to ask her like, how does your husband's beard feel? Can you give me a pass to touch it like nothing weird or anything. I just want to like a light caress.
I'm sure she gets that question all the time. For your daughter. I know you've just eaten, but can you go out with your tongue trick?
Yes, of course. I would love that. I just want to make sure I don't have any pickle or burger in my teeth. That is freaking insane and it has some side effects. Oh God. Oh, no.
