Hey guys, it's Tracy in the Young Hollywood studio and finally we have this kid on our couch. Nash Grier. I feel like I've been waiting my whole life for this moment. Thank you all for coming out on this beautiful afternoon. Please welcome your Peoria Owls. Austin York. Left fielder, Frankie Peyton. And center fielder, Jack Sanders. Firstly, not only King of Vine but now you are a movie star, just no big deal.

No big deal, right? I guess not. Not really.

Well, we were just talking before we started about the fact that when you do Vine, you know like right away what it's gonna look like and you edit it yourself. But then doing a movie it's a totally different process.

Completely different process. Very scary process too. Like a lot of trusting and like, alright, you know, I had to really relinquish all of that, you know, creative control to the directors and kind of trust them and like I said I read the script, you know, 100 times front to back, but you never understand what it's gonna, you know, look like until they string it all together in the editing room. So it was definitely an interesting experience in not being that guy that always does everything, you know, first hand, so it was awesome.

So that's the first time you actually like read through an entire script.

But it was the first script that I was like, alright, this should be my first role in a movie with. And like that's kind of like how it all came together. I think we met the director like nine months before the script even got like greenlit or put in for production. And it was like 60 pages, we read it through and we were like, wow, this could be like really cool. You should develop this more. Uh, and the guy like Michael, who was one of the directors, interviewed us and told us about his life and he just kind of mixed in like all these like real experiences and it just turned out to be like 100 some pages of like just pure beauty and I loved it. So I was like, alright, let's do it and it turned out great. I loved it. If you haven't seen it yet, it's amazing. It just came out. Um, it's about, it's not just a baseball movie. You think it's gonna be something like those classic baseball films but it's really, it's really like which are great. I love the sandlot. I love all those movies.

I was gonna say, what's your favorite?

Yeah, yeah, I think the sandlot is my favorite baseball movie. I like Angels in the Outfield too. That was great.

Did you like watch all those again?

Yeah, yeah, I mean, I played baseball for like six or seven years growing up and I wanted to make everything look like everyone was actually playing on a baseball team. So like I made sure Cam and and Joey and everyone went to the batting cages and we were working on form and throwing and doing our lines, you know, every day before rehearsals and then when rehearsals came, it just got even more serious. So it was fun, you know, just getting back to getting back on a field and getting to, you know, play around because like that's what I grew up doing, so.

This was a simple thing for you, right?

Yeah, yeah, I played baseball a bunch and then other than the baseball side it was about, alright, how do I create a backstory for this character enough to where like I can really like get into character and like immerse myself and become another person and like just, you know, live as Jack Sanders or whatever and in that way I don't have to like try so hard to act and like and be another person. I can just react as like Jack Sanders like, what would Jack Sanders do in this situation and like that's how I would think on set and it made it super easy. So.

And I mean the fact because like, you know, if you obviously everyone's seen your Vines, I mean they're completely the opposite of what this character is. So you're like super comedy like crazy on Vine and then all of a sudden your fans are gonna be, I mean there's unexpected. I was really when I saw it, I was like, whoa, like you were like getting into dramatic scenes and it's interesting. It's not like

and like when I first moved out to LA like two years ago I had like a specific acting coach that I was always with every week, like three, four times a week. And she would always tell me like, you're not, you're not gonna end up doing the comedy stuff like you're just not. And I was like, well, I mean that's what I do. Like I just make these short videos on YouTube and

Really, she actually

No, yeah, no, she was telling me and she was like, I think that like for acting wise like I I personally feel like you do better in more serious roles and like I at the time didn't know how to take that, didn't know she was trying to bag on me or anything. I was just like, oh, what is this? And then like, you know, as my acting developed and progressed over past year and a half. I feel I feel like I agree with her and like I want to continue to do more serious roles and and get into character and and, you know, really enjoy like acting instead of like just, you know, whatever it is jokes on TV or jokes in movies or something. So.

Well, let's talk about Cam because was it firstly, you've done so much. You guys are best friends, you've done all your Vines together and all of a sudden now you're working together on this like really, you know, in like really deep. Yeah, it was crazy. Concept was it? But had he ever done any like serious like as in like dramatic?

Yeah, yeah, I don't think none of us had, I mean we've done like skit stuff but that was like that was serious stuff within comedy stuff. So like it's a we never really did like serious projects. We always just went into it with the mindset like, alright, let's make the, you know, the funniest video or like let's get the best reaction out of someone or or, you know, see what we can do. And uh,

So how was that whole experience together?

Yeah, that was insane. Just being in the same place. And and you gotta understand like set was like it was such a routine. I would literally I'd be there every day at 8:00 a. m. I'd be in my trailer. I'd do three hours of school work for every like five hours that I shot because of like my age and stuff and how I was still in high school. And like it just ended up like working out in a way where like every day was so routine that like Cam and I would would go on set, we'd shoot our scenes, we we'd do our stuff and like because there was two directors we would, we know, talk a lot back and forth after a shot and and get feedback from two people and then take it all in and then go and shoot the scene again and like it was it was a lot of work and like even if I had like 10 10 or 15 minutes of free time, they'd be like, alright, let's get him in school so he can, you know, get his time done so that we can keep shooting today and like it was just such a rush of it was just hectic. But it was fun. It was awesome.

And then also the last time we talked, you had said that you really loved doing like all the behind the scenes stuff. Did you get to do, did you sort of experience any of that?

Um, so we had a behind the scenes person the whole set and then we had like some behind the scenes photographers. Um, and then there was I think we shot with like three or four cameras, uh, a couple days and then there was days where there was just two cameras. Um, but they were like big cameras. So they were like this one, but I would play to them before and after the scenes for like bloopers and stuff, which I'm still trying to get because I want everyone to see the bloopers.

Yeah, those bloopers. The bloopers have to make a big they have to be like a whole compilation of bloopers.

They're gonna be like 30 minutes long, I swear because like I there was just so much fun stuff that happened on camera and like I would just mess with everyone the director like it didn't matter how serious the scene was like I would just do some funny stuff on camera. So I want to find those but Yeah.

I was gonna say, there had to have been some crazy prank.

There was there was some funny stuff and like Joey Bragg was definitely the funniest person on set. He's hilarious. Yeah, he would tell me some of the funniest stuff. Oh my gosh. I just remember like in between shots being so focused and sudden character and then like somehow we'll be on like a field shooting and he'll just like slide behind you and whisper something in your ear and it would just make you like die laughing and you just forget everything that was on your mind. But he did that to me like

What are like some things he would say?

They're not camera appropriate but he is the funniest kid ever. He's a he's a great guy. And then my toilet got backed up in my trailer. That sucked.

But your toilet got backed up?

Yeah, someone backed up my toilet and like the whole

So that was a prank.

I don't know if it was a prank or someone was just like, alright, I'm just gonna use Nash's bathroom while he's shooting the scenes.

But like my trailer smelled like poop for like two months and like it it sucked just because that was like the only room where I had to go to like focus and like chill in the mornings and and smelled awful.

You never did you find out who did it?

Nah, I think it was Cam, though, but it's all good, you know. Just the smell. But it was bad.

So you're gonna have to get him back, right?

Maybe. Yeah.

What have you got? Have you guys done any like crazy pranks for some general to each other lately?

Um, not lately. Uh, just normal stuff, you know. He he like he lives his life.

What is what is a normal life though?

I don't know, it's it's nothing normal, you know. There's nothing normal about it. Not at all. Uh, the most pranks probably happened when we lived together, which was at the apartment. Um, we ended up getting like kicked out of that apartment because of how much like crazy stuff we were doing there.

Are you serious?

But it wasn't like crazy, crazy. It was just like there was always fans downstairs. We would always make a mess, we were always loud. Um and we're like the youngest ones there. So it was just like a bunch of older people complaining about like how much fun we were having and stuff like I think so. I don't know. But uh that's where all the prank

I can't even imagine what it would be like living in in the same building as Cameron and Nash. That would be some entertaining situation.

There was so many funny things that happened. That was great.

There has to have been like a million crazy fan experiences that you've had but has there been like a few or anything that's stood out as like, whoa.

The craziest one was when I was in New York and I get a FaceTime call from one of my best friends who's like watching all my animals and stuff. And there was like four cops in my living room and like three girls sitting on the couch. So we got to do a quick little quick little game of Pictionary. Let's do it. So, famous song titles. Uh, potato? Oh wait. Catching. Scream. Um, pain.
