What's up, guys? This is Young Hollywood. I'm Molly Argu and look who I'm joined by. The beautiful Talitha Bateman. And you know a thing or two about scary stuff.
Just a couple things. Just a few things.
Hoping the girls could be her penance. This is our new orphanage. Oh, this is as big as a castle. We ended up giving it just what it wanted. You need help? I can manage it. So, we're gonna play a game called fact or fiction. Alright. Okay. Are you ready?
Yes.
Okay, don't worry. We're gonna We're not gonna go too hard on you. Alright. So, each question or statement, I should say, you'll have to guess whether it's fact or fiction. Okay. And then you'll get to try three on me. Okay. That part will be fun.
Yay.
Okay, so here's your first one. Ready? Okay. Annabelle is based off a real doll that is said to be possessed, and a priest had to come bless the Annabelle doll on set.
Fact and partly fiction.
Oh.
Because the priest actually blessed the whole set, not just the Annabelle doll.
Wow. Okay, so how did that How did that happen? How did that come to be?
I was actually filming that day but I was in hair and makeup at the time, so I didn't get to meet the priest, but they recorded it and I watched the playback later. That was pretty interesting.
Okay. God, did someone request that this was done or was it?
Stephanie did because she didn't want to touch the doll unless the set was blessed. She was actually scared.
Okay, next question. On the set of The Exorcist, the director went crazy and started firing shotguns to keep everybody on the edge and in a suspenseful mood.
Hopefully, fiction.
Hmm. I think it's a fact.
That's horrible. That would be so scary. Can you imagine if they did that while you were filming? I'm so happy they didn't.
What would you have done?
I would have probably fired myself. I would have quit. I would not want to film on that set. I'm out. You guys are nuts. Bye. Oh my gosh. That's so funny.
That's crazy, huh?
Yeah, that's insane. I don't know if that creates a suspenseful mood or like pure terror.
Pure terror. Yeah. Wow, you were spot on. Good job.
Thank you. Okay, and I think you have three for me. Let me I have to think about this for a second. Okay, I'm not very good at lying or detecting a lie. Okay. So, Lulu and I on staff, we didn't really get along. We had to work at our friendship a little bit. But we Towards the end we actually became like best friends. Mm.
I'm going to go with that is fiction.
You're right. Yay. We clicked immediately. Like at the table read. It was pretty fast. We started laughing at each other out of nowhere. We just looked at each other and we just started laughing. And it was really funny.
Well, and you're so sweet. I I feel like you could get along with anybody. So I feel like that yeah.
Oh, thanks. Okay, yeah. Got it. Okay, all right. Um. I used to be horrified of bunnies. I actually had nightmares and night terrors growing up.
That's totally a lie. That's fiction.
No. No, they're the cutest bunnies. I was so scared. That's why my mom got me this one. No. I used to be so scared of bunnies. I had like nightmares about them because I watched Donnie Darko. And I was so scared of that bunny. But now I love bunnies. They're so adorable. Okay. Okay, last one. I'm actually a dancer. I was a dancer before an actress.
I think that's fact.
No. I'm so bad at dancing. Really? You do not want to see me dance. But Lulu and I were both horrible dancers. Okay. So at the afterparty actually, we were just We looked ridiculous on the dance floor.
That's so fun though. If you can just like let loose.
I know. Exactly. Because I didn't even care.
Well, then we won't put you on the spot. We won't ask you to bust any moves.
Please don't.
All right, guys. Well, that's it. See you next time. Bye.
