What's going on guys? Hanging with me right now. I have Lizzy Green. Hi! How are you?

Lizzy Greene

Great! How are you?

Young Hollywood

I'm good. You, you haven't been here yet?

Lizzy Greene

I haven't. This is my first time here.

Young Hollywood

It's a great day. It's nice and warm. Yes. And your dress. Can we talk about that for a second?

Lizzy Greene

Oh, thank you so much. Thank you so much. I saw it. I was actually in Canada when I bought it and I saw it and I was like, Oooh. And I had the last one was in my size so I was very happy about it.

Young Hollywood

Really? It looked like a fun one for sure. So actually, fun fact. So we know you from Nickelodeon's, Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn. Did I get that right?

Lizzy Greene

You did. Perfect.

Young Hollywood

I was like, Yes. I know. Thank you. We were actually on the set of your show when you were filming the episode of Wizards of Quads.

Lizzy Greene

Oh, yes.

Young Hollywood

Do you remember filming that?

Lizzy Greene

Yes! Now that I'm thinking about it. Yes! That's so cool.

Young Hollywood

I know. We were filming one of our episodes um, for our show Beyond the Athlete with Gabby Douglas. And that was when you were singing your little Dorothy dress and I loved that episode.

Lizzy Greene

The favorite episode I've ever shot hands down, yeah. It was. It was like Broadway. It was such a cool thing because it was like theater and everything was so colorful and we had the costumes and the sets and everything and it just came together so perfectly.

Young Hollywood

I love that. So you play a quadruplet on the show.

Lizzy Greene

I do. And with the only sister with three brothers.

Young Hollywood

Yes. That's crazy.

Lizzy Greene

It is.

Young Hollywood

What's like your most fun part about playing the show?

Lizzy Greene

My character is more tomboy because she does she does grow up with boys, so I get to do a lot of really cool athletic things, like they get to, the writers were amazing. They would always write in fun sporty things for me to do. So I would do a lot of stunts, which I love stunts. Every everything they, every time we would do an episode I'd be like, Give me more stunts. I want to do more. So it's awesome being the only girl on set because it's kind of like, it's, it's different. So it's cool for a change.

Young Hollywood

So would you ever want to be a quadruplet in real life?

Lizzy Greene

Hmm, yes and no. Because Okay. Uh, it depends like if it was all girls or if it was like me and three other boys or whatever like the set up would be. It'd be cool because like I'd never be lonely or anything and I'd always have somebody to talk to, but at the same time I can imagine like uh, fighting to get to the bathroom in the morning and like stealing each other's food. So it'd be bitter sweet, but I definitely, I'd want to try it, maybe. I mean I have tried it. I did.

Young Hollywood

Yeah. I was gonna say you definitely get to try it, yeah. So you also have something else coming up. A Million Little Things, is that right?

Lizzy Greene

Yes, it is.

Young Hollywood

That's a big jump from Nickelodeon.

Lizzy Greene

It is. It's definitely, um, a huge change. And when I was shooting the pilot, it was definitely like when I was looking around it was so different than being on a Nick show because it is an hour long dramady, in a sense. So it's not, it's not like the whole Nickelodeon like funny comedy. It's kind of like friends, the show Friends or The Big Chill, but a more real, like raw version of that. And it's about Okay. This group of friends and when one of them commits suicide, then like it's how it rocks all the other friends and like everybody's having affairs and it's so, it's so juicy and good. And I play um, I play the daughter of one of the, of two of the friends and I get to be super punk and goth, and I get to play guitar and I get to sing, so it's definitely different from being a quad. Yeah.

Young Hollywood

Yeah! Definitely. That sounds so exciting though.

Lizzy Greene

Thank you. I'm super excited for it. It's such a great show. I can't wait.

Young Hollywood

And you were also recently at the KCAs, Kids' Choice Awards.

Lizzy Greene

I was nominated.

Young Hollywood

And you're definitely killing it because I saw your selfie with Jaden Smith.

Lizzy Greene

Oh my gosh, I was fan girling so much. I love him so much. I listen to his album like everyday. It's what I work out to and it's just it's such a good album. I can't get over it. I have a shirt that says "Sire" on the front.

Young Hollywood

Did you just like go up to him and be like, Can we take a quick pick? Or like, how did that picture happen?

Lizzy Greene

Oh my gosh. Yeah, I was like, I was debating whether I was gonna go up or not but I did and I was like, Hey, I love your album. You're like so cool. And he complimented like my performance on the show so I was like, So you were like fan girling? I love. He was so cool. He was so sweet. So I got a picture with him and I was like, Oh, yes.

Young Hollywood

Is there anyone else that you're like dying to meet in the industry that you haven't met yet?

Lizzy Greene

Ellen Pompeo.

Young Hollywood

Ooh, that's a great one.

Lizzy Greene

I would love to meet her. She's so, she's so inspiring and she stands up for so many like great things. And plus, she's like one of the most well-known characters in television, Meredith Grey. So she'd be so cool to meet. Yeah.
