What's happening, Young Hollywood? I am with the Marvels Runaways cast today. Look at all these people. You're so good looking all together. You're all such a beautiful group.
Oh, thank you. I will take it. Thank you.
We don't we don't really look like this every day. Greg does though.
Greg. Yes, yes. Speak for yourself. No.
Yeah, Greg's like, "I woke up like this."
Thank you very much. Yeah, with frosted tips, so artsy. Thank you very much. It was an artistic decision. Nick Carter was not just my inspiration.
So, tell me about how you guys originally met.
We're saying that uh the screen test, I think right afterwards, we all went out to a dinner. We knew that we needed to make it happen, this chemistry between the cast. So, uh we we we revealed some secrets right afterwards.
Did you do like a 21 questions game?
Yeah, we actually might well have. We did. We might have well have been. We might have done like a two truths and a lie situation. So we played like a little game to get to know each other.
Oh yeah. Well, you guys, tell us something that you learned about someone on this side of the couch from the 21. You can choose anyone.
This one's your friend. We even talk about that. It got deep. We yeah, we touched on the superficial things, but then we really understood that by the end of the dinner that we have issues.
So you're going to give us something juicy about someone over here.
Oh yeah. Uh Renzy. Uh no, I actually don't have anything about to say about Renzy apart from uh he's like my brother in some ways and annoying like a brother. Yeah. So yeah, so that's that's Renzy.
I have a good one about someone on that side.
Okay, what?
Lyrica was on the national uh gymnastics team for rhythmic gymnastics.
We need to see it. It's so good. She's hella flexible.
I was. You can tell by the bun. I I used to do this a lot.
So, on your new project for Marvels, of course, you have something to do with superheroes, right? If you could each choose one superpower to have in real life, what would it be?
I've recently embraced the power of shapeshifting. I think it's very convenient, especially as an actor. They'll call you the ultimate transformative actor. You don't even have to be method.
You took mine. I love shapeshifting. If I didn't have to do shapeshifting, I would do flying. Definitely.
For me, I uh have lived on my own now since I was 17 and and a few years later, I still hate laundry. So I would love to be able to like click my fingers and then make the laundry. The annoying thing is like the individual socks. I hate pairing individual socks. So if I could just go like, "Boom, boom, boom," and all my socks could just join.
You feel like Cinderella.
Oh, that would yeah, the male version.
I'm a huge dog lover, so I think like how Gert can communicate with her dinosaur, I wish I could like understand. I feel like I can understand what my dog is feeling at almost all times, but I wish I really had that like strong psychic connection to my dog, Levi.
Ginny's dog, Levi, is like our Runaways mascot.
Oh Yeah, he is. He is.
I would love to know what the dog is. What kind of dog is he?
He's like a Cocker Spaniel, Pekingese, Toy Poodle mix, but his like defining characteristic is his underbite. You've got this big underbite.
Oh, he's a precious angel. He's the best.
I've uh I've thought about mine a lot. The the I would control time. If I could control time, look, there's so many things. We're not going to get super into it, but it's there. That's if you think about it, you use a lot with that. You'd never be at the wrong place at the wrong time. Never.
I think I'd want a power that could allow me to just instantly make food any time. Really good food.
Yeah, all the time on demand.
All the time. Yeah.
Love it. All right, so I would assume that playing a superhero wouldn't be that easy. Maybe I'm wrong. But how do you prepare for this role?
One thing I personally learned was uh after using my fist to guns, uh at the end of the season, our producer, our lovely producer, Emma, comes over. She goes, "Greg, you do realize you're not meant to make the sound effects."
Wait, all you were telling me this that Greg does this?
Oh so it's been a running joke. I knew it.
Oh, it's been a running joke. I'm the only one who's witnessed it.
You're good. You're the one who outed yourself.
What does it sound like?
He goes, he goes,
It's so good.
Is that true?
It's more of like No. Now the hardest thing about uh me was the hair. Growing this out for a long period of time for like a good two-month period, just look like I was a kid out of the '70s. Just like no, it's just like a weird mini Afro stage. I like it now, but for a while there, it wasn't it wasn't iconic.
Seriously. Iconic is perfect.
Yeah, it is iconic.
All right, guys. Well, to toss out the interview, can we do our best superhero faces? Okay. All right. But on three, right? Okay, ready? Is everyone ready?
Yeah.
Can I one second please?
Sure.
Doing everything.
Are we really taking this seriously?
I have no idea what's going on.
We're not taking this seriously.
Are you ready? Okay, ready? One, two, three.
