Although my Varvatos friends are very, very nice to me.
Who are and who's Tom Ford? We love John. Keep keep bringing it on. We you look fantastic. We are you into the whole thing? Are you into this?
I think I'm into the whole thing. My mom used to used to be a model and she kind of got me into it and then uh I just kind of got I caught the bug. Caught the craze. Yeah.
Is that how you got into modeling cuz I know you modeled for a long time.
Yeah, I got into it uh because of my mom. And I was like, I don't think I want to do this.
Tyra Banks always talks about you got to practice in the mirror, but do you actually She's intense. She's really intense, but I'm a huge fan. Do you practice in the mirror your modeling before you go on camera?
I love Tyra. Yeah, can you can you zoom in? I don't really know where the camera is, but I'm just gonna look that way. Oh, it's right there.
You can actually go to one and then the other and then the other. It's good times here at Young Hollywood. You're much better at it. Do that again. Wow. You have to clench your jaw. That's the thing.
Is that what it is? For guys though, right? When your mouth's open, you suck in. When your mouth's closed, you clench your jaw. Oh, that's good. And it just adds a little cheekbones. Yeah.
I know. I'm getting in trouble for all the selfies and it's not a selfie if I had this conversation earlier today. if you're promoting something It's not a selfie if someone else is in the photo.
Good point. Right? Cuz I mean you're taking it but it's not just of yourself. It's with other people.
It's just an excuse to take a picture of yourself though. You just hey, come in here.
No, it's more like, hey, look who I'm with. They're my friends. Things like that.
Um, so your Instagram, 600,000 followers. I don't know where that came from. I'm happy if I get 10 likes. You have I mean for you it's just insane.
I bought all of them. I bought all of my Instagram. I don't know if they're real. I don't know if they're real. I don't even think you can do that, can you? I don't think you can. I don't know. They're just they're cool like like cool like 12, 14-year-olds who who are fun and yeah.
And speaking of supernatural, season two of Arrow, they're adding that element into it.
Yeah. Someone's getting super strength in this season but other than that, it's not really anything too out of the normal. So.
Who is getting super strength?
I really don't know. I wish they would tell me. They did tell me but I can't tell you.
So during your hiatus, did you peek out? What did you do?
I don't really I mean, I love fast food. It's amazing but I
Which your What's your fave?
My amazing friend Evelyn over there in the corner almost almost broke her diet and went to Chick-fil-A yesterday. So, yeah. No, I shouldn't say that on camera. Okay, sorry. She tried She wanted to go to Chick-fil-A yesterday and I said no and she kept trying to get me to go. He's filming now. I just wanted to do this to him. You can't. You can't. Sorry, I'm going to get in trouble. Sorry, Ebon.
Now what do you get more excited about when you read a script and you see there's gonna be like a kickass kind of scene or is it the romantic scenes? What's what as an actor? What do you look on the page and you go? I love this.
But when you get the romantic stuff, it's nice to show that side. So it's really fun to act and especially I get to do a lot of scenes with uh Willa Holland. So it's always fun to kind of you know, have someone that can get there with you and help you out. It's really fun.
Well, there's like the young the young love aspect on the show. Yeah. Did you when you were younger, did you ever do anything really crazy for a girl that you're embarrassed about like when you were 12 or
I was like, you know when people, you know like the cheesy pickup lines that you think as a kid are like, oh, that's going to work.
Oh, go for it. What What did you use? I love this.
I said one time on a hammock and I live I grew up in Kansas and I don't know.
Did you have hammocks in Kansas?
Oh, hammocks everyone has a hammock in Kansas because we have like farms and there's like treehouses and stuff. So yeah, so I grew up on a farm. And um, I was dating this girl named Alice McFadian. And Alice got a big shout out right there. Yeah, I know. She's I think she's I think she's still in Kansas. I'm not sure. She I think she's married now, actually. So I thought I thought it would be Sorry, Alice. Um, I thought it would be funny and romantic to try to use this pickup line. I think I said is your dad in jail? Uh and she said no. She's like, what are you talking about? I was like, cuz he stole all the stars and put them in your eyes.
Stay away, Alice. Oh, for laughing. And to this day, I truly I truly see this is the thing is like she bought it hook, line, and sinker and was like, oh, you're so romantic. But I think I would too, honestly. When you're 14 like It's at least you put some thought into it. Because also
And I think I just stole it from someone else. I don't remember. I think it's just all in the delivery. And who it's coming from. Yeah. I might have moved my eyebrows like a bit and kind of done like the sexy grays.
Oh, you got some mad skills there. They're just yeah. We've had some eyebrow wigglers here on the couch before. That was pretty good. Can you wiggle anything else?
I can do like to the beat of music. That is so crazy. They're just weird. I know.
So we had Katie here.
Oh, I love Katie.
There's a reason there's a bow and arrow. Oh, no. Is Katie here? Is she gonna pop out? She's not gonna pop out. Katie. Yeah, we're gonna put an apple on your head. And she's gonna pop out. How are your skills? Oh, god. What am I trying to aim at? Oh, god. Okay, we're gonna Oh, this is gonna be terrible. Okay. What is this? Yeah. And then you can give me a lesson. You can teach me some of this stuff.
My skills are probably better without whatever this What are you supposed to do? I don't know. You tell me you're on arrow. This is so embarrassing. This is the hardest It's probably harder to do than an actual because it's like a plastic It's like Oh, there it is. Okay, I get it. Should I stand up or no?
No, do do whatever you gotta do. I mean, really? Oh my gosh. That was fantastic. That was almost a bullseye. Wait, just do it one more. I should try again, right? Yeah, do it again. If you can do it again, what did he win? What does he win here at Young Hollywood? A Young Hollywood hat. Didn't you always want one? Awesome. Do you have any like Young Hollywood shoes or anything?
