I saw episode two last night. I've seen that. And I saw six breasts. Six breasts, did you count them? Kristin Bauer van Straten: I I can count that high.

I'm Oliver here at the Young Hollywood Studio. The gorgeous Kristen Bauer Van Straten. Kristin Bauer van Straten: I like that introduction. It's it's the right introduction. What a long name. You start

I know, right? Kristin Bauer van Straten: That's why I took his name or added it anyway because I thought it was very royal.

Yeah, it does sound like that. When when she says his, she's referring to husband. Yeah. The Van Straten is yeah. It's a great name as well, isn't it? She's just she's just kind of strong. Kristin Bauer van Straten: Isn't it great?

Yeah, it is. Yeah. Yeah, it works. It works. Kristin Bauer van Straten: Yeah, if I had married like, I don't know, Stefalov Von Neski, I would not have taken the name.

We move on um to True Blood. Your show. That small show that seems to be known everywhere in the world. Eric is handsome, he's rich, and in his own way, he cares about you. He really does. Thanks for the advice. But I will never be Eric Nor's puppet. Hm. Shame for you, then. He pulls good strings. It's the the year of the witches, right? Kristin Bauer van Straten: Yeah, it's a fun one. Yes.

Yeah. And you've got some good battles with witches. Kristin Bauer van Straten: I do, in many ways. You know, because they're a good opponent. They're not, you know, they can reek havoc at a distance from another area. You know, creatively you can do a lot with them and they did.

And you're you're a you play a lesbian. Yeah. On the show. I don't know why I found that difficult to say lesbian. It's a great thing in life. Should be should be more open to everyone. Right. A lesbian playing a lesbian. Kristin Bauer van Straten: Yeah. Lesbian playing a lesbian. I kind of like that.

And you you play a Swede on the show. What? Swedish. Swedish. Yeah. I can't quite figure that out to be honest because Pam speaks with a southern accent. But then here and there she speaks Swedish. Which is you get help off Alex, right? Kristin Bauer van Straten: Yeah, and that's why it's Swedish. He actually did say, I'm good friends with Alex and said to give give her a wet smooch from Daddy. So I don't know if that's an inside thing, a wet smooch.

Yeah, Alex is so sweet. He's so lovely, isn't he? Kristin Bauer van Straten: Yeah. He's like a friendly giant.

I know he is. And I only obviously hang out with him because he's so ugly. Right, right. He's so out of shape, it makes me feel good about myself. Right. And so short. Kristin Bauer van Straten: So short. Yeah, and that yeah, and he's just not funny. No, not at all. I tend to tend to cry when I'm out with him. Just for

Just for getting a complex. You do. Yeah. Just cuz you feel bad for him. It's incredible to be on a show where you like the day and you get to do fun things and really be challenged acting wise. And then also that the world is enjoying, so you get to keep doing it. And take your clothes off a lot. Kristin Bauer van Straten: And that's actually a nerve-wracking part, but yes, yeah.

Do you find that part hard? Kristin Bauer van Straten: I do. You know, I I work out a lot more than I did before the show and watch what I eat. I'm much healthier.

I saw episode two last night. I've seen that. And I saw six breasts. Six breasts, did you count them? I can count that high. Um, driver's license. You rear end a few people, right? Kristin Bauer van Straten: Every two years or so. I seemed I don't know. There's one theory my friends have that my car is too long. I didn't have the money to repair it. So it would get shorter and shorter every time it happened and and then it stopped happening.

Okay. So we're pretty that's pretty conclusive evidence. But we should get you one of them little smart cars or something. Kristin Bauer van Straten: Well, my husband came running in I think it might be the Swedish Volvo. where they've got a car that will sense the distance and stop for you.

Oh, really? Yeah. That'd be great then. Great for the Great for the fellow drivers of LA. Kristen, thanks for stopping in. Kristin Bauer van Straten: Yeah, thanks to see you. Thanks darling. Thanks. It's see you.
