Hi, Young Hollywood. I'm Krista B. Allen from Revenge. And apparently, she likes British men. This could be my moment.
I'm Oliver Trevena here with the lovely Krista B. Allen. How are you?
Amazing. How are you?
I'm good. I'm good now. We we just had a moment with Georgie passing wind. And it wasn't that enjoyable. As soon as we got her up on the couch, she let it go. I think it was the excitement that Georgie had of you coming in studio. Yeah. That's what it was. Or was it actually you and you just blamed it on the dog?
Wow. It wasn't me. I will tell you. I will tell you that's a human thing that happened. I will tell you. Um I'm going to get revenge on you now.
Oh. Oh. I like that. Like what I did there. But Revenge season two. Yes. It's amazing. It's incredible. It's um people are saying it's the new Desperate Housewives. The new
It's better than that.
Oh. I've never watched that, but I watched this. Yeah. I've watched this it's better than Desperate Housewives. I have actually seen Josh Bowman. Okay, yeah. Support my fellow Brit who's not British on the show, but yeah. And Ashley, don't forget Ashley.
And Ashley. Of course, of course. We actually have another Brit coming in this season.
Oh. I'm not sure if that's oh yeah, or not. Well, tell us then we've got an exclusive. Let it slip out accidentally. So we've got another Brit joining the show.
Um, I think it might be out. I don't know.
Well, tell us the name then. Just in case it's not out.
I can't. I can't.
You can, it's fine. We'll edit it out. I promise. But I will tell you it's a boy. It's a boy. And he's actually English in the show. Look at that. Look at that. That's what can we expect from you? Charlotte, little Charlotte on the show. Poppin' pills, being a bit naughty. Going over the men.
Yeah. The end of end of last season Charlotte had a little OD. It's sort of just dealing with the repercussions begin with of addiction. Everybody's sort of just on Charlotte's back and she's sort of takes the brunt of a lot of the drama that happens in her family. But you know, she's starting to develop her own independence and strength and girl power.
Yeah. Girl power. Listening to Destiny's Child and The Spice Girls. It might like
Yeah, I'll tell you we're on set. It's all about, you know, becoming the strong woman. Oh. All that stuff. Maybe.
But yeah, we had the we had the guys on the sofa. I had them on the sofa. not obviously had them on the sofa. I interviewed them on the sofa. Um ugly bunch, aren't you? All of you. Yeah. Really unattractive. Really unattractive. Really not not nice to watch at all. Yeah. It's not distracting at all at work to have all these What was I going to say? How is that on set? Boys around. Even the girls. Right. We had a funny moment with one of the girls um the other day. She was wearing Have boobs. You can say boobs. It's a fine word. This dress was so beautiful. And every other woman in this scene is staring at this woman's chest. And she's like, is there something on me? What's going on? Oh, I read that your character is worth 100 million dollars. Net worth. I don't know if that's true. I mean, obviously, it's a TV show, it's not real, but you're worth 100 million dollars in the show.
I believe it's more than that.
All right. Show off.
No, um honestly, because there was this whole uh sort of scuffle that happened. Obviously, the children will both get an inheritance. Right. Um, Daniel and Charlotte looking at inheritance. I believe Charlotte's half was 637 million.
So, I was a little bit out then. Yeah, a little bit out. A little bit out. If you had that money in real life, I mean, you might have ABC might pay well. I don't know. But if you had that money in real life, what's the first thing you'd spend it on? Apart from me.
A cork. Um,
A cork for Georgie's bum. You'd have a lot left over.
Corks for all pups. I would buy houses in every country.
Okay. I love that. And you like to travel?
I love to travel.
You love to travel. You were just in London for Ashley's hen party. Back to
Back to rep party. Back to rep party. Yeah. For her hen night, which is a bachelorette party. Of course, every street in London is
Is brilliant.
thousands of years old. So, yeah, it has sort of that history and that richness. And great people. The people in London are amazing. But I find that um since nobody's taking their cars, nobody has a car. Everyone's taking public transportation. Everybody's always on the streets just hanging out and so friendly and
No, that's the homeless people. People do in fact own cars. That that was homeless people in London. But I'm sure they'd love a car. But they're still having a good time either way. They're having a great time. We we like to have a good time. And we're going to have a good time by talking about what we've learned about you on Twitter.
Oh, god. I'm dangerous with Tweeting. It's very dangerous, isn't it? Sudden thought and you put it out there to the world.
Yeah. Well, this isn't that dangerous. You've done a flying trapeze recently.
I did.
How was that? Amazing. I'm going to sound really stupid. Flying trapeze, what is that exactly? It's not a trampoline.
Uh, a little known fact, I actually was in the circus for a summer. I traded and there I attempted the static trapeze, which is just, you know, it's static, it's still. You hang on to it and you swing
This one. Oh, the swinging thing. Yeah. The swinging thing, right. And then the the other guy catches you and you swing back and forth and do all sorts of flips and things. You're a bit of a daredevil.
Ah, I love it. I love a good thrill.
And you're a budding seamstress. You like to fit, you know, sew buttons and you're good at that. Is that true?
I used to make clothes. I don't really have time for that anymore.
You're going to go into that, maybe your own little fashion line?
Yeah, but everyone does that.
Okay. You got to do it differently. I'm good at that. Well, at least in the meantime, if I ever pop a button, I can repair it for you.
You can repair it. She's a keeper.
What are you doing in India? You're off to India. Next summer I'd love to go to India. Yeah. Do you like Indian food?
I love Indian food.
You love Indian food. And yoga and all that.
Yoga, I'm not that good at that. I've tried yoga on this sofa once before and I wasn't. I barely touched my toes.
No inversions for you, huh?
No, no. Whatever that means, there's none of that.
Um, this is inside information. This might throw you back. We've heard that you're an expert on linens and towels. You have to get a towel that actually dries you as opposed to one of them towels that you just
Saw one of our producers stood next to you in Macy's. Oh, no way. I remember this.
Yeah. Yeah, she's back there. She's back there, but she told me that you're very picky about your towels.
I was in that Macy's for at least four hours like what I think I had a water bottle on me like dumping water on my arm.
To see if it dried. Yeah. Oh my god. Wow. Yes. So she's very picky about her towels. You have like spies around town.
We have spies everywhere. God, what do I do now? We can't go there on Young Hollywood. Um, yeah, so I was buying towels for my family for Christmas. For your mom's. I think you said your mom's. Your mom's. Never been. Yeah. There you go, world. You know something about Krista B. Allen that you didn't start this interview. That's what we like to do here.
