Young Hollywood

Is there anybody in there that you cannot name?

Jacob Artist

I think I've gotten just about everybody except for this stranger. I don't know.

Young Hollywood

Now this stranger is very important and integral to Young Hollywood. He is our CEO, R. J. Williams.

Jacob Artist

Okay, okay. I it was either that or Brad Pitt. I wasn't sure.

Young Hollywood

You will love you for that. So, okay. I'm glad to know. This is going to make it into the segment. Is there anybody there that you'd love to work with that you haven't worked with?

Jacob Artist

I'm gonna have to go with Cameron Diaz. I think I've had a crush on her since her Charlie's Angels. Love that movie, so I'm gonna say her. Yeah.

Young Hollywood

Really? Okay. So, Young Hollywood, we partner with H&M and it's a recycling program and I know we asked you ahead of time. It's we are asking celebrities to donate an item of clothing that they no longer want or need. And they're recycling textiles. It's great for the environment. And I know we asked if you had anything to bring in today. And behind door number one. a fabric. Don't don't recycle that pillow. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Thank you. I kind of want that t-shirt. I feel like I could sleep in that t-shirt.

Jacob Artist

It does look like a comfy sleep shirt, doesn't it?

Young Hollywood

We are going to recycle it in a recyclable Young Hollywood bag. Can we talk about one of your tweets?

Jacob Artist

Yeah.

Young Hollywood

Okay, I'm gonna read it out.

Jacob Artist

Okay.

Young Hollywood

Off to the Elton John Oscar party. Hope I don't run into Jennifer Lawrence because I may not be able to control the drooling.

Jacob Artist

That I good news, I did not see her, so there was no drooling.

Young Hollywood

Well, I don't know if that's good news or not.

Jacob Artist

You're right. It was kind of bad, actually, now that I think about it. I was so

Young Hollywood

You did not see her.

Jacob Artist

No, I didn't see her.

Young Hollywood

You didn't step on her gown, you didn't do anything to her.

Jacob Artist

I didn't step on her gown. She didn't trip anymore. I But yeah, I was really looking forward to it. I wanted to see her because I think she's so talented and beautiful and awesome.

Young Hollywood

But didn't you find the tripping endearing? I thought that was so It it makes people love her even more because she's so that girl. If anybody's gonna trip and make it make it the best.

Jacob Artist

I totally agree.

Young Hollywood

It's gonna be Katniss.

Jacob Artist

Yep.

Young Hollywood

So one more of your tweet. It was something about Justin Timberlake that every time you put on a suit and tie, you want to break into song and dance like JT.

Jacob Artist

Totally. I um I went to a really cool party the other day and I had like a bow tie and like a black suit and I just kind of was internally the whole time singing that Justin Timberlake song. Yeah.

Young Hollywood

And you felt like JT.

Jacob Artist

Yeah, I felt like a boss, for sure. Yeah.

Young Hollywood

So speaking of Twitter, I have some Twitter questions from from some of your fans that knew you were coming in today. So, ask Jacob if he has any weird quirks or ask him random facts about himself.

Jacob Artist

Weird quirks. I actually just discovered one the other day. Melissa on the show who plays Marley pointed it out. She's been in here.

Young Hollywood

Oh, has she?

Jacob Artist

She's great. She um she was telling me that I apparently sometimes if there's a song playing, I'll just go Like this weird kind of drone and I never ever realized it and she was like, are you aware that you're doing this? Cuz like we've had scenes where like we're slow dancing and I'm like kind of like in her ear, whatever and she's like, you're kind of like moaning and droning right now. And I'm like, oh, no, I gotta cut that out. So now I'm like very hyperly conscious about not moaning when I hear a song.

Young Hollywood

You just do that with Melissa. Just admit it. Come on. Well, actually, speaking of which, C A F. I think it's fee or fie, had a second question that I thought was fantastic. Ask Jacob if he prefers the Jarley romance or the Jader bromance, meaning Jake and Marley or Jake and Rider. Do you have a preference?

Jacob Artist

Tough choice. Yeah. It is tough. It is tough. You know, I think I mean You can't go against a good bromance but the women, you know.

Young Hollywood

I know, that's true. Well, if we saw the last episode, he wasn't a very good bro her to at all.

Jacob Artist

No, he was not. Cutting in on your woman. Yeah, so I'm gonna say I'm gonna say Jarley because of that. Yes.

Young Hollywood

Okay, so last question, L N A G A 1 wants to know what song would you like to record and what song would you like to cover with Melissa?

Jacob Artist

What song would I like to record? I I would love to record a Frank Ocean song. I think that his music is so great and cool and original and I've been a huge fan of his now for a while. And then with Melissa, have you heard that new Rihanna song Stay, that's a duet. It's her and a guy and she did it like on the Grammys and she was Yes. It's a very emotional song. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that that would be really cool and I think it'd be probably a special moment for the two characters as well.

Young Hollywood

So I have a game for you. Okay. It's become a rite of passage that every Glee cast member that comes into Young Hollywood must play this game. It's become very popular. It's called Glee Club or not. We're gonna show you behind the you on the monitor pictures of celebrities and we're gonna say Glee Club or not. Have they recorded music or a single recorded music at all? Doesn't have to be on Glee. So it's it's a yes or no.

Jacob Artist

Okay. Gotcha.

Young Hollywood

All right. Here we go. It's behind you on the monitor.

Jacob Artist

On my looking. Okay, gotcha.

Young Hollywood

Eddie Murphy.

Jacob Artist

Yes. Yes.

Young Hollywood

Jacob Artist

Yeah, I don't know why it was so easy cuz I could not even think of a song right now if you asked me, but I was like, Eddie Murphy, of course.

Young Hollywood

Jacob Artist
