What's up, guys? Nicki Novak here in the Young Hollywood studio with the star of Blue Lagoon: The Awakening, Brenton Thwaites. That sounds very scary. But very sexual at the same time. I saw the Well, oh, good. Oh, there's children in the room. Oh, there is. Oh, it's that interview. Okay. Paige. I remember watching probably even watching the original Blue Lagoon as a child, and you don't realize what's going on until you get older and then you're like Until you see that they're wearing no clothes. And you're like, oh, I get it. They're making babies. Okay. Yeah. So, you're from Australia.

Uh-huh.

And where did you actually shoot this film?

Uh, we shot half of it in LA, uh, different parts around LA, and we shot the rest in Maui.

Are you okay? Come here. This may sting a little. Did you grow up in Australia on the beach or were you

I grew up on the on the coast, yeah.

Are you a surfer? Are you

Yes. I am, I'm the stereotypical surfer Australian guy.

So, are you a really good surfer?

I'm one of the I'm one of the best surfers in the world.

You're saying that because we can't actually test you right now. There's no way we're actually finding out.

We kind of can. No, we can't. Uh, I'm all right. I just, you know, just for fun, proud of thing. I like to ride a little fish, which is kind of a a, um, it's a thicker, smaller board, so it's more for smaller waves.

Have you ever seen sharks out in those waters? Really?

Yeah, we make friends. Yeah, yeah, we go out and have

Not afraid of them?

No, no, no. I am actually. I'm Yeah, yeah, I'm I am.

Any island fears? Like bugs or anything like that?

No, not really. I, uh, I've seen a few sharks out there and it's the scariest you've ever

Sorry, girls. You cannot have children around this boy. I I'm not apologizing to the audience. I'm apologizing to the girls in the room. Apologize, girls. So, you're also I said Maleficent speaking of. Well done, you actually said it correctly. So, is it true that you booked this within three weeks of moving to LA? It was like, you'd just been here a short amount of time.

Kind of, yeah. Yeah, I, uh, I put the tape down when I was in Maui. And, uh, I came back and tested with L.

And then Elle Fanning?

Elle Fanning. Yes. L L Sorry, I'm doing the whole first first name thing.

Oh, well, you're all tight with the cast. And Angie And Angelina Jolie, as we call her, but she's Angie to you. Well, is she Angie to you? Have you met her?

No, I she's not Angie to me. She's, you know, her name is her name. Um,

But, I mean, are you close? Have you talked to

We've all met each other. Yeah, and we've, you know, I think they're still in rehearsals and still in pre.

And the wardrobe will be slightly different from Blue Lagoon: The Awakening. There is a wardrobe on Maleficent.

There is a wardrobe. Yeah, it was whereas Blue Lagoon, there wasn't much. It was just like show up, but sort of like Some of us just showed up in action.

Well, I have a little, um, a little game for you.

Yes, what's the game? I like

It's a sort of it's sort of an island game. It's sort of just to sort of get to know you and your tastes.

Oh, okay. All right.

If you were stranded on a desert island, if you could have an iPod with you, but you could only have one song on that iPod to play over and over, what would it be?

Get down on it.

That was quite unexpected.

Without a doubt. Get down on it. Yeah, that one.

I think you should improvise that into your Prince Charming role.

I I'll try. I'll see what the director thinks.

So Okay, so one movie you could have with you. Uh, um, Besides Blue Lagoon: The Awakening. I mean,

Um, Robin Hood: Men in Tights by far.

Wow. Why that one?

Cuz it's just every time I watch it, it's just twice as funny as the last time. Cuz and Things Yeah, you know, lift the spirits while I'm

Men in tights is just naturally funny. Getting chased by

And if you could have three items dropped from a plane, just to make yourself more comfortable, what would they be? It's more stressful and more

Okay.

Um, it would be a journal. One of those cool Indian ones with the leather case. Okay. So I could document my journey and my findings and the pigs that I encountered that day and the snakes that I killed. Um, the second would be a guitar. So I could just pretend I was Bruno Mars. And, uh, the third would be a jet ski with never-ending fuel.

So you could get off whenever you needed to.

So I could Yeah, oh, I forgot a surfboard. Can I have four?

Because it's you, because it's Prince Charming, well then of course we'll give you

Because you're Number four, a surfboard. But wax. You gotta have wax and yeah.

You're Just assume the wax and the the leash comes with the surf. You're just such a demanding individual, aren't you?

Well, hopefully the helicopter pilot isn't so rude and he could give me these things.

Well, thank you so much for coming in. Let's have no more questions. No. You can relax now. You pass the test.

Yes, thank you.

Thanks again for coming in.

Thank you very much. All right.
