Malibu, your hometown. I'm looking to move back, so.
Are you really?
Yeah, and I know it's a long commute, but I feel like it's so worth it. And when you're driving, you're literally looking at, like, dolphins and [noise].
I know. Yeah. I'm hitting the dolphins. I'd drive off the road.
Hey, guys. Audrey here with Veronica Dun. Hello.
Hey, what's up?
What's up? Welcome.
I know, this is really cool.
This is pretty amazing.
We know. We know, we try. I could entertain myself for hours in here. It's very cool. Oh my gosh. That's me.
You and I kind of go way back because I used to see you at a dance class. Right. Yeah. And are you still dancing? You said we were we were chatting before and you said you're obsessed with with cycling now.
Uh yeah. I mean, um, I loved that we we took this, you know, dance workout class, but, um, and I loved that, uh, but I can't drive out there anymore. So, now I just dance on my bike.
You dance on your bike? What does that look like, exactly?
You don't want to know.
That seems very difficult.
Yeah, yeah. I'm glad it's dark in there. No one no one can see what I look like dancing on my bike. But, yeah, no. It's like
like what kind of coordination goes in? I'm just trying to think. If if ever I take a soul cycle class or a bike.
Well, you don't have to dance on your bike. I just choose to dance on my bike.
I see. Okay. Most personal choice.
Yeah. So, like if someone's doing like push-ups, I'm like, yeah. Like making it into a dance move.
You're very very stylish.
Oh, thanks.
I love all the pictures that you post up on Instagram and just seeing what you wear. Who's inspiring you right now as far as fashion goes?
I feel like it changes every day. Um, I feel like I'm always inspired by like, you know, of course, like, Kate Hudson and Jennifer Lawrence and all of the, you know, beautiful red carpet um, women, but, um, I'm really inspired by like vintage photography. Like I'm I have a Tumblr and I'm always inspired just by scrolling through kind of my feed, seeing, you know, what, um, people are wearing. And also my mom, she saved all of her clothes and she was like at Woodstock. She was like a real hippie. So if I ever I'm not going to Coachella this year, but last year, that's where I went. That's where I went. Yeah.
You're also really big into social media. You mentioned having the Tumblr and you just made your Snapchat public.
I did. It's stressful, man. I honestly like people have been telling, "Oh, you have to make it public. You have to make it public." And I never wanted to do it because I just felt like it would I would always want to Snapchat what I'm doing and I felt like that would take I don't know, not take away from my life, but it would consume my life. But I did and it's been fun. Yeah. Yeah.
Are you just Snapchatting everything?
You know, I'm a bit selective, but you know what I like about it? It's I like it because it's not about like, "Oh, this is how many likes I get and like look how beautiful I look." I think it's more about like I I get to show a side of me that's like goofy and just like eating donuts and just being weird and like those those faces that you can make now. I'm really obsessed with those. The face swapping. Oh, whoa. Those are that's too that's so fun. I'm so fun. Sorry. I'm like literally playing with this. But
So fun. Right. Please. That's what it says. I call it the therapy pillow.
Oh, yeah. It's very relaxing. Very relaxing. I think it's like $25 or something. Oh, perfect. I can take it? Sure. Thank you for having me.
I think yeah. And you're also uh, you know, you're dating another actor. Yeah. Max. Is it tough to date another actor?
It's kind of easier at times because they get it. Like if he planned this whole date night and I was working super late, like he wouldn't be mad at me because he knows you can't really change that. Um, so in a way it's a lot easier because they understand what you're going through if you're stressed about something or you're bummed you didn't get something, you know. That's really great. But, um, of course, it's hard because I feel like actors are kind of a specific breed, um, in and outside of work, you know, at least with me. Like I know I'm a very sensitive person and as an actor, I think you kind of have to be because you have to be able to open yourself up and let things affect you and respond to what other people are doing. So he's the same way where he's super sensitive.
But you guys are both are really open with your relationship in terms of, you know, showing love on social media. And I read something about like a trip coming up to Hawaii.
I'm so excited.
How excited? Why Hawaii? I mean, why not Hawaii? Of course.
Yeah. Well, um, you know, why not Hawaii? It's gorgeous. And I've I've been there a bunch. He's only been there once. Oh. Okay. So he and the one time he went there, he freaked out. He loved it so much. We're going to Maui. That's so exciting. I'm really excited.
Sounds like a dream vacation.
Yeah. I can't wait.
Do you have any other dream destination?
Yes, Bora Bora. My parents are there right now. I'm so jealous. I'm so jealous. Are they in like one of those little huts on the water? What? I mean, I just I just assume that they are. They've been like they're I'm getting emails, you know, like, "Oh, we're at this beautiful place." And how's the dog? And I'm like, uh, yeah. Can we switch places now? Yeah, please. I want to go there so bad. I just want to like those huts are so cool.
I know. They are so cool. Ah, it's it's um, let's let's make this happen. Let's put it on our vision board.
Oh, yeah. Let's like manifest it into into reality. I think it can happen.
So I wanted to play a game called freestyle hashtag. So it's a little bit like word association. Okay. Um, but I'm just going to throw out a couple names and just I want you to hashtag the heck out of it. Whatever comes to mind. Okay? Are you ready for this?
I'm so ready.
Marissa.
Hashtag boy crazy. I don't know. Hashtag fun. Hashtag fun. Hashtag bubbly. Hashtag bubbly. She's super super fun. Hashtag outgoing. Here you go. Thank you.
Malibu, your hometown.
Hashtag gorgeous, hashtag beautiful, hashtag I want to be there right now. Oh. I love it there. It's only like 45 minutes away, like that.
I know. The longest 45 minutes of my life though. But it's prettiest. Yeah. Actually, I'm looking to move back. So.
Are you really?
Yeah. And I know it's a long commute, but I feel like it's so worth it on the weeks I have off just to be at the beach. So. And when you're driving, you're literally looking at, like, dolphins and [noise].
I know. Yeah. I'm hitting the dolphins. I'd drive off the road.
Beyonce. I know you're a fan. I know you're a fan.
Hashtag Queen. Have you Yants? I I learned this from What's that? It's just
Oh, I thought you meant like yawn. No, Yants.
Oh, I thought it was like you yawn and then you turn it into something sassy. Oh, well, that could be a thing. We could start that as well. I don't know. Yeah. So you just like Yants.
Yes. I I need to work on mine. Mine me too. I didn't that was like a I committed like 10%. Maybe in my car I'll commit 100 and I'll Snapchat you.
There you go. Please, please.
Well, do it safely. I don't want you running off the road.
No, I'll be in the past in the passenger seat.
Oh, okay. Yes. Be safe when you do this.
Of course.
