If I can get a hold of some Nicki Minaj or like Iggy Azalea, because I would rap a lot on set.
I don't like to clump those two together because apparently they don't like each other.
That would be a mean fight.
That'd be a mean fight.
I wonder if they could only do it with their butts.
Like if they could only fight with their butts, who would win?
Well, they could probably do that and they wouldn't even have to get close.
Exactly.
Yeah, exactly.
I'm Oliver T here at the Young Hollywood Studio with the lovely Britt Robertson.
How are you?
I'm good.
How are you?
Wonderful.
You're a busy girl.
I am.
Yeah.
That you found time to sit down.
Well, anything for you, Oliver.
Let me tell you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
We have that relationship.
We just do anything for each other.
Anything.
And what also is going around is The Longest Ride.
Yes, that's that's happening.
It's happening.
I actually did ride the Sattern Ranch bull once and hit my face on the thing.
No, it is true.
I lost the front too.
This is a true story.
It's a true story.
So that's a fake you got there?
They're fakings, yeah.
Wow.
Yeah, we just pointed it out.
Good job.
Um, bull riding is a big part of the movie.
It is.
Yeah.
I mean, it, you know, it takes over a good portion of the movie when um my love interest, Scott Eastwood, decides to hurt himself and then continue bull riding, which is sort of a no-go, I think, in a relationship.
Good show up dead one day.
I'm not cool with that.
No, you don't want that.
You don't want that.
It's roller coaster.
You never know what you get in.
Sitting at the door, waiting.
I mean, is he going to come home?
Is he going to come home?
It's an unfair thing to ask of a woman.
So then, yes, it does take a big part of the film and it's like a conflict.
Will he choose me?
Will he choose bull riding?
Who knows?
It's juggling.
Let's go.
And he's got it.
He has made the eight seconds.
Yeah.
Luke Collins now moves up to the 48.
Hey.
Keep it.
It's kind of a, now that I'm thinking about it, it's sort of a rude thing to be like, "Oh, gotta love those bulls.
Sorry, babe."
I'm going to ride a bull.
Instead of being with you for the rest of my life.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jerk move.
Just to point out, yeah, it's no no longer a romance.
It's horrible.
Mhm.
Um no, it is it is lovely.
It gave me goosebumps.
Goosebumps.
I'm glad it gave you goosebumps.
It did well, Nicholas Sparks.
My favorite movie of all time, The Notebook.
Yeah, The Notebook.
My favorite movie of all time is Nick Sparks.
I don't know, all time, but definitely up there.
Okay.
I mean, yeah, I mean, The Goonies and Princess Bride.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You got to like toss those.
You need a few like good comedies.
But, um, yeah, A Walk to Remember was my favorite as a kid.
Wow.
And it's great because it's this it's like two stories.
You're getting double the money.
Yeah.
Not just Scott and I, there's like another couple.
Una Chaplin and I know, Jack Houston.
Please.
saved the guy from the car, you read him with that.
It was the class back then.
His life was just very similar to your life and His love sort of influences our love and he gives us the passion to like keep going, you know?
We can fight through this.
Right.
Just because we have to fight, doesn't mean it's got to be over.
I mean, Too many people just walk away nowadays.
Just give up, guys.
Fight for love.
Fight for love.
It's a rocky road.
But if you stick with it, you can be in love.
You strike me as a romantic that is.
That's you know.
Yeah.
I am a bit of a romantic.
Yeah.
What would be your go-to romantic date?
Like if you could if you could tell any guy out there, just give him a bit of advice, your go-to romantic date.
It's so hard because, I mean, I know.
It's hard.
But we know.
Just the guy know.
You're saying it's hard.
Think how we feel.
I mean, you must be the most insufferable.
I don't.
I don't know.
Um something really simple.
It's never fun when like guys try to do something really extravagant.
For me, that's overwhelming and I don't want to get too dressed up.
I just want it to be really low-key.
I said this the other day and people thought it was such a stupid idea.
But I like a hike, like a walk.
I don't want to say walk in the beach cuz that's a little too cliche.
But something of that nature.
Okay.
Very very cheap as well.
It's great.
Cheap date.
Let me tell you.
Cheap date.
Just that's all she wants.
And one other thing, I heard this recently that you can rap.
Is this true?
Yeah, I knew that was about to come out of your mouth.
He's trying, I was swinging on it and I'm like cuz I never know if it's true.
And sitting here, I wouldn't think that it was true.
It's so true.
Yeah.
I look ridiculous rapping, I'm sure.
It is true.
Scott tells everyone that I rap cuz I would rap a lot on set cuz you know, you have so much free time.
So rapping is the go-to.
There's nothing better that cheers me up more than just, you know, letting it loose and like really just finding words.
It's pretty.
You know.
I mean, I'm not a great freestyler, but if I can get a hold of some Nicki Minaj or like Iggy Azalea.
I don't like to clump those two together cuz apparently they don't like each other.
That would be a mean fight.
That'd be a mean fight.
I wonder if they could only do it with their butts.
Like if they could only fight with their butts, who would win?
Well, they could probably do that and they wouldn't even have to get close.
Exactly.
Yeah, exactly.
That's point.
I'm gonna be in New York, you're in LA.
Let's do it right now.
And they're touch.
Yeah.
Um and one other thing, you want to start your own housekeeping company.
I did say that once, that's really funny.
I only said that once.
Uh but it is the truth.
I'm really good at cleaning.
Like really good at cleaning.
And I really enjoy it.
The first thing I did after this press tour was come home and clean.
And I felt so good.
And I think I should start a business because I I feel good about the cleaning that I do.
I think other people would appreciate it.
And I might as well be making money for it.
She hasn't won you over with the movie and the rapping.
She's a great cleaner.
Clean.
I can clean your house.
Cleanest set ever.
Cleanest set ever.
Yeah.
They save budget on that on set.
They do.
That's right.
We should probably clean up.
Oh nice.
She's amazing.
She's amazing.
God, look at me.
