I can balance a spoon on my nose. It's true. Sometimes two.
Sometimes two.
I've seen her do it.
Really? It's very impressive. So immature at a restaurant.
Hey, guys. Jessica here with very good-looking and talented young people. Thomas Decker and Phoebe Tonkin. Now, you guys are obviously on the new CW show, The Secret Circle. We want to explain. I don't want to say this. Um, We're different. You're different. Oh, for God's sake, spit it out. You're a witch. You're a full-blooded 100% witch.
We all are. These are the kids who are born with this innate uh ability and affinity for witchcraft for our our parents. We're not really kids who necessarily all of us want them or want to exploit what we can do. And since BB's character is way more into it, I think than mine.
It's totally. And I just want to use mine to get fried boots. Yes, I know. The last time, Fry, I hope you're listening cuz you almost stole my boots from me, and I need them. Thank you so much. It was a great meeting. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um, I'm like wiggling my toes. I'm like Just give me one. I'll take just one.
No, your character, Fay, she's kind of a troublemaker. Did you know girls like that in high school? Cuz I feel like there's like a girl that you're like, I know how to be this girl. Because I didn't like her.
Totally. I got spat on at school and called princess.
Yeah. Are you serious?
Yeah. I wasn't bullied, but I did start at a new school, kind of mid I think I was like 17. I remember the first day I was like ordering lunch and this girl came up to me, and I I probably had fried boots or something of the like. I was wearing a cool outfit. I wasn't used to having like normal everyday. I was always in a uniform. And so my first day at my new school, I dressed up for the occasion, and a girl walked past me and spat on me and called me princess. So don't spit on people. That's the moral of this interview. Water is light as air. It's incredible.
Did you guys ever get into that in school by any chance, like the witchery and stuff like that?
I did do a seance with uh like a personal one. I remember I got this There was this book that told you everything you needed. And the apple and the knife and the chalice and the whole thing. I'm not even joking. When I was about 15 and we tried it. Uh me and like four friends cuz we're trying to to summon spirits but I don't think we did. I think we just
Not that you know of.
Not that we know of. Maybe that's what keeps opening and closing my door.
What about the lighter as a feather, stiff as a board game? Oh, yeah. Did you do that? Okay.
I Yeah.
Did it work for you?
Yeah, but someone was definitely like doing it. Like using their like all their strength. We tried to lift our heaviest friend to see if it actually would work so we needed a bit
Wow. Let's hope your friend is not watching right now.
We couldn't We couldn't really lift her. We wanted to see if it was real magic or not. Like we tried to lift our most unattracive friend. Oh, I hope she's not watching.
I heard a rumor that you like to play pranks on set.
I really like on a new project to um like if someone says cut to set, I like to like, you know, just throw something and yell like, you know, don't talk to me like that and pull a whole big thing and then I don't tell them I'm kidding for like a good two hours.
Thomas is good at holding the pranks. Like you do things. And normal people would be like, oh, I was kidding like 15 minutes later. I'm like so like three hours later I'm like, oh my god. And then it'll come up like, I'm kidding. So you took it so too far.
It is too far, but it's fun. I did one prank on my last show. I had this guy that played my boyfriend and he was just being a rat bag. Just annoying me. And so I put tiger balm on my lips. You know that tiger balm that muscle and it's spicy ass. Put it on my lips and did a kissing scene. And watched him just his eyes just start watering cuz it went straight onto his lips and his lips were just burning. And he had to do this whole scene and he was just like, oh my god. I'm like, I thought I was doing some weird like lip plumping venom thing. And he was just having to carry on in the scene.
But didn't it hurt your lips?
But it was worth it for the It was totally worth it.
The show is called Secret Circle. So I think we should all tell a secret about each other.
Mm, yes. How secret? I know. How far can we go?
No, no, just something that your fans would like to know.
I can balance a spoon on my nose. It's true. Sometimes two. So that's my secret.
I've seen her do it.
Really? It's very impressive. So immature at a restaurant.
My mom like wants to kill me every time I go out to dinner. Like I'm like, guys, I'm gonna do it again.
When I was about eight No, I would have been about 16, 17. I went through a very embarrassing phase, uh where I thought I could beatbox. Um, and I would do it with a couple friends uh musician friends who were like doing real music and I'd be like, I'm a great beatboxer. And now, like I've watched her old videos of it. Not so much.
What's your secret? Um,
Yeah, now right back at you. See, you weren't expecting that. I enjoy tattoos a little too much.
So does he.
And for me as well, actually. Yeah, they're all about gang. Yeah. So I'm like, I enjoy them a little too much. I get thoroughly excited and I'm like, no, don't stop. Don't stop. And she's like, weirdness.
You kind of meditate on it, right? You kind of like meditate on the pain even though it hurts a little. You kind of just yeah.
Well, thank you guys so much for stopping by. And I cannot wait to see it. It's always fun with you, my dear. I'm keeping my shoes for some. I don't really want to wear those. They're they're not quite as much for me as the boots for her.
