Timothy Granaderos

Hi guys. I'm Timothy Granaderos. I'm at Young Hollywood right now and I'm about to give you my own 13 Reasons Why from this crystal ball which is really heavy and I'm scared to drop it on this glass table but I'm gonna do my best. Okay, so. Reason why I caught my last flight. I had a wedding to go to actually back home in the Midwest, so. Weddings are always fun.

Young Hollywood

Okay. Reason number two. Reason why you love Young Hollywood.

Timothy Granaderos

Because I love Young Hollywood because it's such an awesome, friendly vibe. Everyone's super cool. Nicole's the best. And it's just chill. I mean like look at all these, look at all these cool people on this this pillar that have been here and I'm just wondering why I don't see my face on here.

Young Hollywood

Okay. Reason why you wore your outfit today.

Timothy Granaderos

Okay. I wore my outfit today because a, Vans are just comfortable and they're an everyday shoe. Black jeans I pretty much wear everyday. This is a nice white t-shirt that I got from a photoshoot and then this is a jacket that I borrowed from my buddy. It's a little small but Ben Kaplan, thank you for letting me borrow your jacket.

Young Hollywood

Okay. Uh reason why you were last starstruck.

Timothy Granaderos

The reason why I was last starstruck was I saw the Backstreet Boys, which was at Wango Tango like two days ago. It was amazing. I mean, you hear those songs and those guys are still killing it.

Young Hollywood

Reason why you should watch 13 Reasons Why.

Timothy Granaderos

There are a ton of good messages, a bunch of beautiful, amazing actors, the writing is brilliant, the crew behind it is awesome. Everyone involved is super cool and they're telling a real honest story that I think everyone, no matter what your age, gender, sexual orientation can relate to and take something from. Jacket's getting hot.

Young Hollywood

Reason why you took your last adventure.

Timothy Granaderos

I love camping. I love being out in nature. It's like my reset from this crazy life we live. So, I just took a little camping trip with my brother and one of my best friends. We went up to Big Bear. It was just a good release. Good to get out. No cellphones. It's very necessary for me.

Young Hollywood

Reason why you sent your last text to a castmate.

Timothy Granaderos

I think I think the last text I sent to a castmate was to Justin and Devin and it was right before Wango Tango and we were 15 minutes out and I was like, what are you guys wearing? And it was too late to do anything about it but I was already committed to the outfit and I wanted to make sure I wouldn't look ridiculous and it worked out. Uh okay.

Young Hollywood

Reason why you most recently followed a celebrity on social media.

Timothy Granaderos

I think I just followed Ariana Grande because we presented her at Wango Tango. So, I wanna see what she's all about and she's she's great, super talented. So.

Young Hollywood

Reason why you took your last risk.

Timothy Granaderos

I can't tell you what my last risk was but I'm sure the reason I did it was because you can learn a lot from taking risks because you gain new experiences, you put yourself out there and these are things that you might have learned about yourself that you didn't know before. So if you don't take any risks there are no rewards, so.

Young Hollywood

Reason why you were scared to ask someone out at one point.

Timothy Granaderos

The reason I was scared to ask someone out at one point was probably because I was scared to put myself out there. Like I've always been very comfortable with who I am but still when you make yourself vulnerable to someone that you don't know or you like or you're attracted to, it's kind of scary but I also think it's really exciting. So.

Young Hollywood

All right. Uh reason why you took your last screenshot on your phone.

Timothy Granaderos

I think my last screenshot was uh a song on Spotify and I usually do that because if I if I don't take a screenshot of it I won't remember. So, I've just kept a library of screenshots of songs and made playlists out of it, so. Yeah.

Young Hollywood

Reason why you identify with your role.

Timothy Granaderos

The reason why I identify with my role as Montgomery, who I is just kind of a bad person, is he's multi-dimensional and he has lots of layers. So, with Monty, you see the bully, the the the guy who picks on Tyler but um there's a lot more going on to him. He's a sensitive, vulnerable, uh human being and unfortunately he doesn't know how to deal with it in the correct way.

Young Hollywood

Reason why you said no to an opportunity.

Timothy Granaderos

I rarely say no to opportunities because I like to put myself out there and experience as much life as possible but if I said no, I can't I don't know what it is but it was probably because it didn't reflect positively upon who I am as my brand or image or what I wanna be as a person, so that was probably the reason I said no to an opportunity. Boom. Thank you guys so much for watching. Thank you to Young Hollywood for having me and go check out 13 Reasons Why so you can also hate me on social media. Tim is not my type.
