Yeah, you are. I'm quite impressed actually.

Young Hollywood

Thank you so much. Right. I don't know what accent just came out of my mouth but it's okay.

Angourie Rice

You're mimicking me.

Young Hollywood

I was trying to, but I don't know how successful I was at doing so. Well you look really good. You're killing it.

Angourie Rice

That's so cute.

Young Hollywood

The ruffles. It's a good time.

Angourie Rice

Thanks.

Young Hollywood

It looks like you're fashion like inspo. Emma Watson.

Angourie Rice

Emma Watson. She's pretty cool.

Young Hollywood

She's such a class act.

Angourie Rice

Yeah, yeah.

Young Hollywood

I kind of hate her because she's just so put together. She's, yeah, she's just so classy all of the time and very sophisticated.

Angourie Rice

Absolutely.

Young Hollywood

Yeah, I love it. So how's life? What's going on?

Angourie Rice

Life's good. I mean, I'm here in L. A. It's fun, it's exciting. I'm missing school. Um.

Young Hollywood

That's dope.

Angourie Rice

Yeah, yeah.

Young Hollywood

Yeah, yeah. So wait, you actually attend a school? Like a real school?

Angourie Rice

I do.

Young Hollywood

Shut up. How was that?

Angourie Rice

Um it's great, it's lots of fun, yeah.

Young Hollywood

How are the kids? Are they treating you, like, differently?

Angourie Rice

No.

Young Hollywood

Really?

Angourie Rice

No, yeah, my friends are all, like, really normal and they think it's, I mean, everyone thinks it's weird that I'm here and that I.

Young Hollywood

They think it's weird? They don't think it's cool, they think it's weird?

Angourie Rice

I mean, they think it's cool but it's like cool and weird at the same time.

Young Hollywood

Please tell me about this new movie that you're in.

Angourie Rice

Yes.

Young Hollywood

Every day, correct?

Angourie Rice

Yeah, yeah. So I'm in a film called Every Day. And it's about a, um, a soul called A who falls in love with a girl called Rhiannon, which is my character. And the soul wakes up in a different body every day. So it's about sort of their love story and how they overcome these obstacles.

Young Hollywood

That is the craziest thing. Like, the moment I found out that I was going to be talking with you, I looked up online and so many people like, oh my god, I'm so in love with it because it's, you know, it the overall theme is that it's not about the physical aspect of a person, it's about who they are as a whole. How has that affected you in your everyday life? Like, you know, I was 17 once. I crushed here and there.

Angourie Rice

Yeah, I mean it's, you know, I've learned a lot from, from this, from making this film. I think one of the main messages for me was just to, like, live in the present because, you know, the character, um, Rhiannon and A, all they have is like this very second. They don't have, you know, they don't know what's going to happen tomorrow. So I think, yeah, that, that message is so beautiful. Just like be in the present, live in the moment and, yeah, I really learned from that.

Young Hollywood

I love it. So I have to know, are you like crushing on anybody right now? Who's, like, Instagram feed are you, like, stalking? Don't lie to me.

Angourie Rice

Does my dog count?

Young Hollywood

Oh, good bye. Just your dog?

Angourie Rice

Yeah.

Young Hollywood

That's cute.

Angourie Rice

I, well, I have, I've created an Instagram account for my dog.

Young Hollywood

Wait, what kind of dog do you have?

Angourie Rice

So she's a kelpie whippet. So she.

Young Hollywood

What is that?

Angourie Rice

So a whippet is like a, um, a smaller version of a, of a greyhound. Okay. And a kelpie is an Australian, uh, farm dog. So she's a mixture of the two. So she's very athletic and strong and she runs fast and.

Young Hollywood

That's dope. So you made an Instagram for your dog?

Angourie Rice

I did. For my dog. So I've been stalking that.

Young Hollywood

What's her name?

Angourie Rice

Her? Lola.

Young Hollywood

Lola. Lola the kelpie whippet on Instagram. Oh, that's so cute. That is adorable. Do you plan on getting any more dogs?

Angourie Rice

Yeah. Ah, I don't know, because I travel a lot. My sister really wants another one, so do I, but, um, I don't know, we'll have to see.

Young Hollywood

So for everyone who have not seen Every Day, um, what is one word to describe the film? One word. Yeah.

Angourie Rice

Uh, Magical.

Young Hollywood

Magical. Yeah. Ooh. Yeah. Anything like magical happen on set?

Angourie Rice

Uh, yes, I guess so. I mean.

Young Hollywood

How so? I want specifics. You can't just like tiptoe around. I want to know.

Angourie Rice

There's a scene in the film where it's, it's all about dancing. So my character goes to, goes to a party, she does dancing with this character. So she doesn't know that it's A, but it is A who she dances with. And that whole scene, you know, the, the song was maybe an '80s song and it was really fun to just like, you know, have a little boogie on the dance floor and.

Young Hollywood

I would say that's magical. That's so cute. I love that. You're the cutest thing ever. Congratulations on everything and thank you so much.

Angourie Rice

Thank you so much.
