Owen Thiele

I thought E. coli you get from eating your own shit. Is that right or wrong?

Right now, a lot of auditions are on Zoom, which makes it so easy because you log off and then you can eat a bowl of cereal in the comfort of your own home and turn on the Kardashians. I flew to New York. I was in a room with people who were better versions of me and who I stalked online for years being like, fuck, they got that role. Fuck.

you know like and they're all in this room with me and i'm like have to act cool yeah and so i'm like hi i've never heard of you before i'm owen meanwhile it's like they're in my search yeah for real yeah um i've looked them up on imdb every second of every day uh and it was just hard it was like you go into a room you're like in front of these this panel it's like it's like america's next top model it's like hard um she's like i only have seven photos in my hand literally literally yeah

Anyways, he was so close to me. And eventually I was like, I looked at him and I go, I either have to leave or you have to leave. And then he goes, you? I go, yeah, me.

Uh, it was, it was scary, but it was, it was such an amazing experience. We shot adults in Toronto, which I've never been to. Have you been to Toronto?

Yeah. How was Toronto? Well, Vancouver, I heard my friends from Vancouver and she's like a surfer and she like skates and she's like hot and outdoorsy and cool. And she's like, that's what Vancouver gives. And then Toronto's like New York, like a city. Right. Yeah. That's more your vibe. Yeah. I'm not a camper, love. So I like Toronto because it was a lot of shopping. Nice. Period. And food.

Period. So I liked it. We love that. But I think a lot of people from Vancouver don't like Toronto.

Anyways, I love both their cities. Anyone listening, I like both of you guys. No beef here. Yeah, yeah, sorry.

I spoil the whole thing. I'm like, well, I... Uh, I almost went really dark and really scary about a fake spoiler that I will not say now. Um, adults, I think hopefully if we did our job right, it's just like a really fun watch. Um, and hopefully it feels like a good sitcom that you just like love to like

Yeah. I go, okay, I'll leave.

I think we grew up watching friends and not to compare this with friends at all, the 20 season genius show. But I just think it, it hopefully it gives that same vibe where it's just, you're laughing. And also you're like, you like the characters. I play a version of myself. Um, So if you don't like me, you might not like my character.

In the show, I'm a little more emotionally guarded than how I am in real life. I'm like an open book. But in the show, I'm kind of figuring that out. And that's my journey towards adulthood is actually figuring out how to be more open. That's so exciting. Which is great. And I think my favorite episode to shoot was, I don't know if I can give this away, but I'm going to do it.

And then if I cut it, we cut it. In the show, I'm friends with everyone. I'm like a people pleaser. And they call me a friend slut. And I'm like literally like, we'll say hi to everyone and go to dinner with anyone who says hi to me, which is not too far off from me. But if I don't like you, I'll leave at the dinner. That's true. That's me. This character is not that. Yeah.

Anyways, I become friends with this man who later become we find out is a subway stabber has stabbed someone on the subway. And he's like literally sitting at our table. And I'm like, Oh my god, I just saw you on the news. So that's really fun. That's I think my favorite episode.

Oh, I know.

I think we had so many of them. Yeah. And we had so many amazing movies. Like Will Ferrell was starring in so much great shit back. You know what I mean? Like elf was out. Like where's elf now? Like I want my elf. Right. Um, Yeah, I think that we're just, we're lacking in that category.

Whatever. No, no. Very exciting, though. Thank you. I was there for Overcompensating. Yes. One of the two shows I'm on.

And we have, thank God for shows like Hacks and Only Murders in the Building and the other two and all of these great shows, but they're slowly like leaving the air. You're seeing the saddest thing is watching the comedy that you love, like driving by a poster that's like the final season. I'm like, what?

Can I tell you something? I would love to be in an animated movie.

I mean, Pixar probably because of the big buck.

i'll be paid the big buck no i would i think adult animation like i love i i just i i want to be like a little gopher or something that like fucks like a big mouth or something totally i love big mouth so good in something like that um executive produced adults so oh that's cool i didn't know that he's amazing so sick wonderful and i was i tried to sidle up to him a few times on set and was like grease the wheels so

big mouth and then he eventually looked at me and said yes um you'd be great on big mouth if it wasn't ending it's ending this season i was like fuck well now you're telling me exactly shit i could have been on it for the last eight seasons like what the fuck Um, it's what I love big mouth. Oh, that's so cool. So I would do something like that.

um the two ones that are coming out that are coming out i'm a very small part in overcompensating but i'm very it's a friend of mine made it so he put me in it i did an audition who we both love i love him we love benny we love benny he's the best he's actually the most wonderful person and marybeth i love her i love her i love i love ride i love i'm just obsessed with them yeah um but he very kindly put me in his show and because he was like

I think that would be like, I think you would kill it. Something like, I also like this sounds in absolutely insane and I should be so lucky, but there's something about seeing yours. I'm doing ADR for adults right now and going in and seeing yourself on screen. And I'm like, Oh, I don't like that. I'd rather like voice a gopher. You know what I mean?

Like, cause then you're like, Oh, make the gophers cute. Oh, it's fine. If you make the gopher ugly, like you don't care. You know what I mean? It's not a reflection.

Oh, 100%. By the way, some friends' lenses. A friend just took a picture of me. He was like, Owen, I want to take some press photos of you. I was like, this is a free press photo. Great. Delete. I'm not kidding. And block. I'm not kidding. Block you as a friend. I couldn't believe the photos he took. How rude. No, seriously. They're really offensive. I don't know what he thought I was.

Are you mad at me or something? No, literally. I did something to your mother. I don't know what I did, but I'm trying to figure. It was so rude.

It's so mean. And then there's the worst, which is when a friend takes a photo of you, sends it to you, and it's already facetuned. And you're like, wait, what? You're like, you really think I need it? Can I see the original? You're like, I looked that bad. Hey, why do I look like that? Why do I? It's like a face app. I'm like Kiss 2. I'm like Hollywood 4. I'm like looking like insane.

It's that bold glamour filter. Totally, totally, totally. I'm like, I have eyelashes to the ceiling. I'm like, I don't think I have my eyelashes in today. I'm like, why did you put them on me? It's really offensive.

Right? What's your dream role?

I would hope so. Literally. Literally. No, you were so funny when you came on my show. You were, I was like, what's your dream role? And you were like, I still remember it. It makes me laugh to this day. You're like, um, you're like either Abbott elementary or, um, and then you said, I think you said, Pirates. House of the Dragon. House of the Dragon.

Either Abbott Elementary or House of the Dragon. I was like. you were like disney or pirates of the caribbean yeah literally it was like what new girl yeah yeah yeah literally the office or yeah the hulk for real oh my god i'm like uh the office or triangle of sadness yeah either of those i'd be super into it those two kind of overlap i see the venn diagram somewhere i see it

You don't really have anything on the horizon. Pop into my show. I was like, totally. Thanks. So he put me in a show and I was like, oh, my God, I'll do any press with you because I'm obsessed with you and I just want to hang with you. Yeah. So he brought me to Coachella to he did this like overcompensating house and he invited like it was a party. Yeah. Essentially a party.

carol baskin i literally was like carol baskin where is she my boyfriend was like you miss like so much of pop like hayley bieber dressed up as her for halloween eight years what if you were like you literally were like why is nobody talking about this literally literally no one's talking about this piece of literature i think it's brilliant no i'm i'm sort of like that i love that that's why we're so like

gotta watch it and i'm like 100 i do have to watch it i always lie no i always about every single tv show i i i'm blatantly blatantly lied on my podcast the other day about white lotus somebody asked me about it and i was like i love it i love walton goggins i i blatantly lied wait i was like amy lou woods a genius i think she is never seen her i i i yeah from what i've heard by the way now people are gonna know i lied in that episode

There you go. Well, movie magic. Totally movie magic. I watched it. I promise. No, I always lie.

never seen it never seen it totally huge fan though totally and i'm honestly glad i did this season this season popped off everybody was so excited and happy about it everybody loved it it's amazing if we had watched it and you know you watched it and i think you're freaking talented mike way um no he's obviously he's obviously so talented i just haven't watched it we would kill in white lotus they should cast us i i we go as friends can i be honest what is it about

That is sounds like a great show. So it's all.

I love it.

I, my publicists are going to kill me for saying this. I got too drunk at a press event. And now looking back, I'm like, that was work. I should have been a little more professional, but it was a party to me.

That's so... We have to be on that.

Oh, my God. We have to be on that next season. I love the show. This is our plea to be on this show. We love you, Mike. You're a genius.

And we just have been following you for years.

He was actually amazing. And Survivor. I actually do know his work very well. I just haven't seen the show. But I know I have to. I've seen clips of it on Evan Ross Katz's Instagram, like, posting, like...

If I met Patrick Schwarzenegger tomorrow, I could be like, you are fucking amazing. I loved that scene with your brother. It's insane. Maybe I shouldn't say that. I loved those incessant scenes.

Oh, really?

Oh my God, so did I, but I thought it was a dream.

What was he doing there? I don't know. Everyone was at DJ Mustard's set. So was I. Everyone was. Every friend I text was like, where were you at DJ Mustard's? I was like, where?

So you picked DJ.

Totally.

Totally.

It's like, it's really hard to split hairs because all your besties are there too. One, all my besties were there. Two, they gave us, I'm not kidding, a server for the cast. So the server would come up and be like, hey, Owen, do you need anything else? So obviously every time the server would come over, I would feel bad. So I would say, yeah, I'll take another tequila. Thank you so much.

i like what i hear wish i saw it in person um i would you go to stagecoach no no they don't like my kind over there trust me i'm not going i am definitely i don't think welcome i'd be public enemy number one over there probably a lot of my ops are probably going to that the men who hate me on the internet 100 oh i bet they love stagecoach everyone we hate loves stagecoach

And the thing is this, my best friend in the world who I would literally give any organ to my life to love stagecoach. And it is scary. It is the one thing I am sort of like, I don't think I know you. It scares me, but it's also like, maybe it's so fun and we just have to go.

What's the right opportunity? Like money?

I would never pay to go there.

I hear you. I would go if it was like gorgeous. Yeah. That's one of those. Cabana. They build a cabana for us. I would go. Fuck it.

Imagine that. Yeah, school production. What grade? I was young. It was like fourth grade. I was really young. But imagine the Beast and Gaston have to fight. Yeah. So you're fighting yourself. So I'm the beast. And I'm like, Gaston, you cannot. And then I'm like, excuse me. Yes, I will. The beast. It was a disaster. You paint one side of your face and the other. Literally.

And then second performance, my mom's like, could we get a stand? I don't think the beast needs to be Owen at this point.

because you're running from one side to the other also at that point like i forget who wins one performance gaston's gonna win love i'm tired it was hilarious um yeah i it was it was it's the it's the perk of being the only boy in theater is that you get the leads you got two i got two lead roles okay let's see what else we have on here these are fun these are like fun facts

Oh, of course. And I obviously cut it from the episode. Like I would like to remove that from the internet. I was a hustler.

I don't want him to walk away and not do anything. You know what I mean? I want him to have something to do. I feel bad. I feel bad. So he kept bringing me tequilas. Right. Did you want too many tequilas? Seven tequilas in. I'm like, hey, Ben, I'm probably going to go home soon. And he's like, yeah, that's probably for the best. Yeah. Disaster. But I'm sure it was fun though. It was so much fun.

I was 13 years old. I was at a party with my uncle, who was a writer. And my uncle introduced me to this woman. And And this woman worked at the Huffington Post. And my 13-year-old self, my little crazy narcissistic ass, shook her hand and said, I would like to write for your blog. I have some things I have to say. I have a lot of stuff. She goes, what do you have?

I said, there's so much drama at my school. You would love it. She was like, okay, this kid seems unhinged. So let's give him a blog. So they gave me a blog. And the first blog post that the title is, I love my friends. And it's all, it's complete shade. My mom was like, this is so sweet. It's about that one friend. I was shading my friend who didn't come to my birthday party.

I was like, I love my friends who come to my birthday parties.

Literally. Thank God for the friends who show up and bring gifts. It was insane. It was just a way for me to talk shit about people. It was crazy. You're like the town crier on Huffington Post. I want it gone from the internet. And it won't. Trust me, I've tried everything. I've hired publicists, paid an absorbent amount of money that you can't even explain to ask these publicists to delete it.

And they're like, hey, we can't. I'm like, can I have my money back? Honestly, this is crazy. But you love your friends. I love my friends who come to my birthday party. It's still true, actually. Maybe I should repose that when I hate a friend.

It's so upsetting. It's so upsetting. I can't believe I did that. But I was 13, so I give myself a little, actually, 13's too old to be doing that. Think about 13.

i love my friends you should be i love my friends four blogs later they're like hey we're done here we're killing your column yeah you're out of a job yeah i literally i thought i was fucking sex in the city i was like i'm carrie bradshaw until they cut me i'm like hey i haven't even gotten to big dear diary literally what other blog post did you make

One was about family. Probably called I hate my family. And one was about I was singing at the time. I was like wanted to be a pop star at the time. Love. So one was about like me on stage like. how I feel on stage when the lights hit my face. You know what I mean? It's like so embarrassing. And the next one was about probably getting fired from this being like, this is my last post.

Yeah, yeah. We're wrapping up. You know, to all the fans who love me, follow me on owentheal.com. You know, it was like that. It was like I had balls back then.

Where is that now?

But I think getting drunk during the day is not for me.

I'm not doing that.

Bad news bears. I am not doing that. Do you drink?

Yes.

I didn't say anything serious. There is a little tea on Capricorn. There's a little tea? Yeah. It's like a little real. Oh, so you got hit. My bad. So sorry. Sorry I clocked you. Also, look up Scorpio. My sign is the worst sign on the internet.

We get such shit.

Oh my God. I just remembered that. Yeah, that was true. Oh my God. And yes. So we, you guys, they got, this is hilarious story. They got the camp. They were so excited about the camp. Molly called me like in tears being like, we got the camp. We got the funding. It's a go. And then three days later she was like, there's E. coli in the lake.

Literally. She's like, that's why it was no money. She's like, I'm understanding. Yeah, there was E. coli in the lake. It was horrifying. By the way, there were kids running around like trying to swim. We were like, hey, you might not want to get in there. Yeah, for real. I actually didn't. I thought E. coli. I thought E. coli you get from eating your own shit. Is that right or wrong?

i honestly don't know maybe you could get it from that i don't know to this day to be totally honest with you now i sound really dumb but to this day i'm like so there's shit human shit in the i'm like what's going on what is that how do you get equal what does e coli in the water even mean i think i i know e coli is like bacteria so from shit i mean i'm assuming yes oh no so there's those kids there's poop in the lake

you guys i know what happened the kids during real summer camp were shitting in the lake yeah they gotta be they're throwing turds in there jesus probably it takes a lot of shit to make a lot of turds to poison a whole lake jesus christ yeah there was e coli in the lake and it was scary there were there were scenes where we were like near the lake and i was me being so down for anything became a diva and i was like hey i don't want to get near that lake i was like

So can we film it anywhere else?

It reeks, the lake. Yikes.

Oh, no. I just realized that my Facebook is attached to my Instagram, which means that every post I've been posting has been going to my Facebook.

oh my god that's how my grandparents are seeing this i was like i don't think they followed me on instagram this is great good to know um this picture with no context no caption okay so uh did you take this pic i did you did take proudly right so i yeah well we dated can you imagine i come up breaking news so i did hit timothy we're ex-lovers

sorry kylie he's bye um i know he and i became friends yeah first week of college love i was in college for literally three weeks i went to nyu for three weeks and then i was like hey i'm leaving this i'm going back home i'm scared um i miss my parents um but uh first week we met and we were in class together and i became he became like

I became obsessed with him he was like so nice he was in a movie with Molly Gordon I keep talking about her he was in a movie with Molly called Love the Coopers and they were just on set together and I I knew Molly really well so Molly was like meet my friend Timmy and then we became friends and then this is a true story two years later we kind of kept in touch and he was like I was in London and he was filming something in Italy and he was like pop over if you're around and I was like can't sorry I'm in London right

it was call me by your name should have went should have went to that set um he's wonderful and maybe you would have been kylie jenner at this point if you had gone well i'm the og kylie i want kylie to watch this and be threatened

100%.

watch your back he's wonderful I actually lost touch with him but then I recently saw him and he screamed my name so loud and I screamed back you remember me and it was the sweetest moment and we hugged and then he ultimately left with Kylie so that's great I really thought we had a connection but obviously not alright well you know he was mine before he was yours I'll get him next time next time I'll take that train to Italy

We were just at Coachella and he was there and I was standing with him and somebody said, how do you guys know each other? And I said, oh, we went to college together. And they looked at Timmy and they were like, oh, before he dropped out. And I was like, well, actually, I dropped out first. And they looked at both of us and they were like, and it's both done you so well.

They didn't know anything that I've been in. So they were like. This is great for both of you. I was like, okay, obviously Timothy has had a better career, obviously. Girl, whatever.

No, my future self pops up. My 50-year-old self is like, hey, Owen, you're going to resent. You're going to regret this. You're going to really look at your face in a few years and be like, why did I drink that extra shot?

Shouldn't have done that, obviously. Such bullshit.

That's what I do best. I know. You know, jerk off. Yeah, you jerk me off. What you do best, you jerk me off. Obviously. Yeah. I'm so excited to have you. I'm so honored to be here. You and I are sisters, obviously. No, no, we actually really, I really do feel connected to you. Me too.

You know, that was my in to talk to celebrities when I was young.

I remember I was at a premiere. I snuck into a premiere rush hour. Remember rush hour? Yes. So I snuck into they had their after party at Katsuya and I snuck in with a friend and I walked up to Paris Hilton. I have a picture on my Instagram. I walked up to Paris Hilton and I said.

i was i looked insane okay i was like didn't they were in suits i was in a sweatshirt like i looked like i was like why is this kid here yeah um i had dreads at the time i was just was not and i walked up to paris and i was like i know your friend i was i'm 13 okay i think i know your friend that was my in lying about that tells me and that brings me to my blog i love love my friends i'd like to read something if that's okay

Literally. I read it to her.

I don't know her at all now, but I knew her then.

Yeah, exactly. I know her really good friend. I made up a name, like Marcus. I know her friend Marcus. She was like, oh, yeah. Do you want to pick? I was like, yeah.

She's like, Marcus is not a real name. Also, you're 10.

She was also scared. She's like, Marcus? Is he also 10? Yeah.

I get so puffy and I look instantly like I've drank. You can't hide it? No, you can tell immediately. One shot in, my boyfriend's like, so you're drunk? My eyes are crossing immediately. I'm like, it's a disaster.

Yeah.

And then I'll hop in there.

Oh, you guys, that is, I have been with, I'm not naming names, but I have,

been with a friend of mine who wouldn't care if i named her but now i just gave it away because it's her okay i was with a girl who's famous and she was uh i forget where we were i think erwan and they asked for her to take a picture of them at erwan and she was like of course she was like let's get in and meanwhile they were like no no just of us Oh, I love one like that. I love that.

We were dying.

No, I'm good.

I don't want to. No, I couldn't have taken a picture. Storage on my phone.

I'm obsessed. Perfect. You go and tag me in that right now. You go, no, tag me in it right now. Look my name up.

I have seen somebody whose name actually I couldn't remember, but I would never go up to this person. But I've seen, I know this man from many movies. He's in like, he's a staple in movies, but you don't really know his name. And I literally am blanking on his name, but he was in an Erewhon and somebody asked him for a picture and they were like, wait, you were in Bride Wars? No. No. No, wait.

Wait, which movie? You were in something with Kate Hudson. What was it? And then he's like, no, I wasn't. And they were like, oh, Anne Hathaway? And he's now listing his credits. What is this? Where's Waldo? Literally. Don't make me do this. No, I felt bad for him.

I almost wanted to go up to him and take a picture and put it on Google somehow and try to get his name so I could be like, no, it's this person.

Yeah, I was like, I'm so sorry.

Totally.

My, I think my boyfriend would be most star struck by you. He's obsessed with you. I actually think so.

No, I'm an Epo friend. Yeah. I collect so that they'll put me in things.

I would say, um, This is so cheesy, but I would say don't give up.

I didn't. And finally, after 10 years, I get a role that I can actually sink my teeth into. Yeah. Finally. Absolutely. And I think the little things have all shaped me and made me a better actor. And just being on set for one day, being a day player, it's like really shaped me. Totally. So I think nothing's too small. Absolutely. And don't give up.

Totally. I also think like I forget who said this to me recently, but oh, I think it was Brittany Snow came on my podcast and we were talking about something and she was like I was she's in like 10 shows right now. So I was like listing off her shows as a joke. And she was like, I'm barely in that. I'm barely. And then she was like, no, I need to rephrase that. Cause I am in it.

It doesn't matter if you're in it for one day. She's like, I'm in. And so I think like, I, I always self deprecate and that's kind of who I am as a person, but like being in theater camp, even if I had two scenes, it was the most rewarding thing to be, to watch myself in a theater. I like, it's a pinch me moment. It doesn't matter how

how small the role is absolutely I think it's it's important to just do what you love and by the way doing what you love also means like making shit with friends like make his money tea like I made so many shorts that ultimately I did trash because they were horrible because my friends aren't talented no I'm joking it was because of me I cast myself in the leading role and I shouldn't have done that

I, it's, it, it's really important to do things with friends and just like make stuff when you have an idea, which is obvious. Look at your TikTok. Like you just have an idea and you post it. Yeah.

Thank God that like now we have the ability to like, you have a thought, you get to post a video and if it goes nowhere, that's cool. And if it gets 5 million views, that's sick too. Like, it's just great.

No, totally, exactly. Oh, now I feel a little loose.

I would, we'll say, I think the people I've become friends with, I, for, for, a few of them, I knew them as famous people and I was just a fan and then we became friends. But a lot of them actually, I didn't know would be famous. Molly Gordon, I grew up with Rachel son. And I knew since before she was, she was on a sitcom and she wasn't, you know what I'm saying?

Like, and I just loved their work and I love their artistry so much and their talent. And I believed in them so much that I was like, of course I'm fucking sticking with you. Like, and then now obviously look at them. Like it's just, it's, I think it's really about surrounding yourself with people that you trust and love and love their vision.

You guys want to meet earlier? Yeah, yeah, yeah. my friends who are my age are, are in their pregame era again, where they're like pregaming dinner. And I'm like, wait, is the, is the pregame the dinner? And they're like, no, no, we have dinner after. I'm like, I'll just come to the pregame then. I'm not going to make it to the dinner girl. I'm not. First of all, I'm going to be drunk.

It is so rare.

And I feel like, And another advice I would have for somebody is get a friend that actually you can call when a win happens. Because I feel like I've never experienced this because my friends are all very happy for me because I'm happy for them. And I only surround myself around people who are happy for each other. But I will say I've watched my people who are...

who are in the business who i'm not as close with yeah like struggle with like they don't want to tell their friends their wins you know what i mean and they they struggle with like actually like saying that that something's good in their life yeah and i feel like you have to celebrate the little things and who else should you call like you have to call your friends i call my mom every minute of the day even like i'm like hey i filled up my gas it's a win you know what i'm like

But like, I can't, you need a friend like that too.

It's real. It's so genuine. It's genuine to the point, like, auditioning for adults, there were all these other black gay guys who looked like me because that was the character. And I literally, at the end of the audition process, I was like, okay, if there's any beef between us, let's squash it. Whoever gets this, we should all be happy for. I'm like, I go, let's get drinks.

And suddenly we're all getting drinks. We're all in a group chat. It's obviously awkward now. I'm like, I can't really answer that group chat. But no, but it's like, it's wonderful. It's like, that's what we should all be. You're so sweet.

No, literally. But by the way, there's going to be a role that someone else gets. And I wish I had gotten it, but thank God they got it. They got it for a certain reason. Like, I'm not going to get every role. That other person who's my competitor isn't going to get every role. Like, there's so many, there's a place for all of us.

It's amazing. Thank you for having me. Oh my gosh. Anytime. I've screamed into this mic a lot. You might want to turn my mic down.

Blowing out those fucking speakers. Oh, I've blown out my speaker on myself. Holy. My Rode, it's called Rode, not Hailey Bieber. Also that I have in my pocket. Love her, Hailey. Love you. But my Rode caster, I think it's called, that literally takes your volume. It's like broke. I'm not kidding. One of the audio persons is like, I've never seen this before. I've never seen this.

Imagine I said OnlyFans. That would be hot. I would love it. Maybe I'll start. No, you can find me on Instagram at Owen Thiel and you can find me in my new FX show, Adults, which comes out May 28th.

And I also have a podcast. That I was on too. Yeah, it's called In Your Dreams. Drew was on it. Go listen to that episode.

You're so funny.

We had a blast. It's just like hits after hits. I'm like, okay, wait, that's genius. I'm stealing your jokes. I'm like, yeah, I'm writing that down.

sorry i i love i don't sleep famously i sleep like two hours a night i know that about you but you're a vampire i'm a vampire yeah you just you sleep standing up probably at coachella i was i will tell you this when when it's so much waiting for the artist to come out and then finally they come out and then it's a adrenaline yeah but before that time the five minutes honey that is a good time to sleep my eyes were i was open my eyes were open but i was emotionally gone

Of course.

Which is, yeah, which is, I feel like a lot of people feel connected to you, but I feel like I'm on the top of that list. For realsies.

Totally.

Right.

I totally know. I, the first time I ever went to Coachella, I went with my father who, by the way, it sounded like it was like a sexual thing for some reason.

Oh, great. My dad. Okay. I don't know why father to me sounded so weird. I always say dad, but I guess, or dad, my mom texted me the other day in a group chat with a friend and said, Daddy needs you to text him back. I was like, you can't say daddy about my dad. No. Okay. Anyways, I went with my father to Coachella first year. And I brought a friend.

And the friend got an edible from her hairdresser. And it's a long story. But anyways, she was like, okay, I'm 5'1". It was like a hubby bar. She was like, I'm 5'1". So I'm going to take one square. You're 6'4". So just eat the rest. And I was like... Okay, so ate the whole bar.

I'm not kidding. I was in this Sahara tent, and suddenly every single person around me was green. And I was like, oh, I'm in Wicked. Oh, Wicked came out early. Cynthia's here. I was freaking out. All of a sudden, on a stretcher. All of a sudden, at home. That's all I remember. Literally all I remember.

Literally. And then you're at home.

suddenly opening my eyes mcdonald's next to me i'm thrilled girl did i have fun at least yeah literally literally my dad's like you probably don't want to go back tomorrow and i looked at him and i said i'm obviously going back tomorrow obviously and now i know to just take one square so just take the rest yeah well tell me let's talk about your shows i would love to talk about the shows coming obviously we talked about overcompensating yes but i'd love to know about your other fun shows

I'm obsessed with it. Actually, I haven't seen any of it.

But I was in it filming it. It's about five best friends who all live in one house in New York. And we're kind of navigating life together, figuring out how to become an adult. It's called Adults Fun. And we're really bad at it. We're really bad at becoming an adult. which is kind of how I feel. Yeah. So I was like, Oh, I can tap into this. I was like, can I improv? I know some things.

Oh, 100%. When I'm not vibing with someone, I'm getting in my car and I'm skirting away. I'm not kidding. I am like going fast as I ever could.

Um, it was great. It was, it was four people. I had no, I didn't know them before. They're amazing actors, but they hadn't been in that much. And also I, they, one lived, they all live in New York now, but one lived in Australia. Like they're just from all over. Yeah. And, um, it was so amazing to, to become friends with them on set because we had to play best friends.

And then suddenly like, I'm like,

oh i actually know you oh actually i know you really well oh my god you're actually my best friend like it was actually a beautiful thing yeah i want i that's why i was going to ask about how your experience was filming it and like being also and being a principal cast in something how exciting it was it was amazing yeah it was cool it's my first time doing it yeah usually i'm i call myself a nepo friend because all of my friends somehow make these movies and i beg them to cast me in it

And I'm like, no, I will not audition. Oh, and it's so self-deprecating. You are very talented. No, thank you. Thank you. Which is true. But also, my friends do cast me in their stuff.

i think that's true i think you know damn well they wouldn't put you in there if you were bad i think there's i was at a movie theater camp and molly gordon was directing it and she's my best friend in the world and i'm obsessed with her and there was one part she asked me to improv this thing and i kept talking about heroin and the kids there and i kept just bringing up hair and molly from behind the camera was like hey ditch the heroin talk

I was just at Coachella and there was this man who was standing behind me. And you know when people get a little too close to you?

She was like, what's going on? And I think in that moment she was like, I can't hire my friends. She was like, I don't know what's happening. See what happens when I hire a house. Yeah, literally. She's like, fucking hell. But other than that, I think I've done okay.

Love.

yes of course especially at Coachella I get it yeah we're all kind of we're all wanting to watch Gaga I get it but also like Gaga's there you're not getting any closer there's a million people in front of you back up yeah literally it's okay she can't see you so it's fine totally love she doesn't she he's yelling Gaga for her to look in his camera I'm like my love we're 40 people back

I mean, somebody who says they can't sing so vehemently. I'm like, you can sing.

Put a little auto tune. It's SZA. I'm not kidding. I'm not kidding. I am not kidding.

It's fucking hard. I'm sorry. We have to actually like, I know DJs like embarrassed, like people were embarrassed about it first. They were like, no, that's not real music. I'm sorry, that shit's hard.

I'm sorry, Martin Garrix, you are good at your job.

My boyfriend's Spotify has like, I don't know what setting he used. I think it's literally DJ setting where it like mixes one song into the next. And every time he's in the car, people are like, shit, sick mix. Yeah.

see that's what I'm trying to be that's the type of shit I'm trying to be on by the way two songs that don't work together you're having like no scrubs and like a really sad Celine Dion song and everyone's like sick mix

Yes, absolutely. The ones that actually just tell you how it is. Thank God for them.

Well, they're also no bullshit like me. Exactly.

no no by the way that has happened to me there's there's been roles that i've like molly gordon just did another move me just begging molly gordon to cast me on anything molly gordon just did this other movie where she has it's her in a love interest yeah and i looked at her dead serious and i was like i can play straight and she looks at me and she goes no you can't

I was like, totally good friends.

What the fuck?

It's really funny.

She can't hear you. She has in-ears in.

And I didn't have any. Auditioning is horrible. And I hate to be that person that's like, We have such a hard job. I know, for real. Because we don't. But I'm sorry. Auditioning is hell. It is, really. It is horrible. And for adults, I was... I mean, I got the role, so thank God. Thankfully, yes. Thank God. But also, I was put in a room... It was like old school auditioning.
