Hi, Nick Torrelli here at Young Hollywood and we are about to play the game of firsts. So first up, my first kiss story. This is actually really good. Okay, so I was on it was like maybe first grade. I was on the playground and I was chasing this girl, Tara. Ugh, I was in love with her. Chasing her. Like like like, you know how little kids flirt with each other and they're just like, I'm going to hit you and then you're going to hit me back. I do not condone violence. But, so I recess is over. The the whistle blows. I go I had like a brown leather jacket at the time. It was in a corner. I went to go pick it up and she comes running towards me. And I thought she was going to hit me.

Again, do not condone violence. But she kissed me. I love you, girl. I was just talking to her a couple days ago. Okay, next, first tattoo story. I was 15 years old. It is Chinese kanji on my back Um that is getting covered up next week. Okay, cool. My mom took me. First celebrity crush. Uh. Lindsay Lohan, for real. Hey, girl. First person you were starstruck over. Oh. You know, it takes a lot for me to be like starstruck over anyone. All of it is you. All of it is you. Um but drag queens get me. Drag queens get me and I think like the first time I met RuPaul. I was like, whoa. Whoa. First time you openly embraced loving someone regardless of their sex or gender identity.

The first time I openly embraced loving someone regardless of their sex or gender identity. I mean, if we're being technical here, the first time was like my brother, right? Like I love him. I would say when I got sober, Um and I like started loving myself regardless of who I was and and how I was treating myself Um and then I was like able really to love other people accordingly. First impression of YH. Love the the sweet set up here. Um everyone seems very nice. I question the pillows. I'm not going to lie. It seems like a couple of these pillows have been here too long. We're at the Four Seasons, y'all. We can get new pillows. First time you were recognized in public?

Oh yeah, it was definitely in in Hollywood. Like right after The Beautiful Life And I was dating a co-star at the time and we like left a bar and there was like 25 paparazzi outside and I was like, oh, this is what we're signing up for. Okay. And I've never looked back. So um this has been great. Thank you.
