Once again, the British start something, you take it, and I think you made it better.

Lucky Ricky Gervais isn't here to hear you say.

Look, I love Ricky Gervais. I think he's fabulous.

He's backtracking.

I never said he wasn't.

I'm Oliver Triven here at the Young Hollywood Studio with this gorgeous young lady. Diva. She's not really. I'm just kidding. Bridget Menler, how are you?

I'm good. Thank you.

Lovely. Thanks for stopping in.

Oh, yeah. No, this place is, is super cool. Super posh. Just just put it all like this.

Yeah, I made it. I do design as well. Well done. I like the, I like the color scheme.

Thank you. Thank you.

You've got, uh, your lemonade mouth. Well, we just heard you sing. Oh, yeah, that was a real like. I got on stage, I can't do that. Sure you can. The last time I performed on stage was my first grade recital and five minutes into "Ba Ba Black Sheep," I threw up on Mickey Nichols' back.

It's based off of, um, this scene in the movie where a bully, uh, starts to mess with our band and one of the kids in our band spits lemonade in his face. And so he calls lemonade mouth. And it's, it's kind of the moment where, we're like, we're not fitting in with the cool kids but we're kind of owning it.

And you mentioned it is a band, you're in a band.

Yeah.

You guys meet in detention, right?

Yes. Yeah.

Handy, isn't it? I know. I should've tried that. Maybe I would've started some bands at school. Well, so you were in detention then?

I wasn't. I wasn't in detention and, you know, I, maybe I missed out.

I thought you meant that you were in detention, but you didn't make the most of it.

No, I should've gone to detention so I could make the most of it.

Do they, because it's Disney as well, obviously, and we know you from Good Luck Charlie. Did they know that you could sing? Now, and I am together, we can make it better.

Yeah, I've been, uh, I've been singing with Disney since the first episode of a Disney show that I did, which was So that's handy. Jonas. Yeah. Um, and then I

Yeah, you played the love interest, right?

Yeah. Yeah, that was my, my first ever thing.

Jonas Brothers fan. Really? He's in the back of the brain. Remembering that first episode way back when. And now you're signed with Hollywood Records.

Yes. Yes. It's a, it's a new singing. What's it called?

Yeah, you know, it's been, it's been kind of a long time coming, this whole music thing that I've been working on.

That could be a good album name. A long time coming, or music thing. A long time coming. Okay. Do you not like that?

Um, yeah, no, that's, that's, that's nice. I mean, yeah.

I don't think you do, 'cause you sort of just brushed it off.

No, no, no, no, it was good. It was good.

Powered by Smartwater. Um, I, I, I, uh

She's a tough cookie, this one.

Tough cookie, I'm telling you.

I've been, I've been writing songs for a while and so I, you know, this album has been a long time coming.

And going back to Good Luck Charlie. Yeah. Um, do you, do you hang out with all your 'cause we had the couple of the cast in last year, do you hang out with them off-set?

Oh, yeah. No, we hang out all the time. We just finished filming the Good Luck Charlie movie. We went paintballing. Um, we

I can imagine you being quite aggressive at paintballing.

You know, the first time I went, I was so good. I, I didn't get hit until like the very last round. And we did like five rounds. And then the second time I went, I, it was, it was miserable. It was so bad.

I'll bet you turned up, everyone thought they were going for a fun game of paintball, and I'll bet you turned up with face paints and.

You know, uh, Jason, the guy who plays my older brother on the show, he's, uh, he's pretty competitive and he's really good at paintball and so everyone was like, "Oh, Jason, you gotta watch out for him." And, uh, I, I shot him a couple times. I was so proud.

I'm, what shows would you like to be on that you haven't been on?

Oh, that's easy. The Office.

The Office. Wow. I'd love everybody on that show. The British one is great too. Ricky Gervais. British one is probably better. Was the original. They're very different vibes.

You know, I have a, I have a British friend who's partial to the, the British Office too.

Once again, the British start something, you take it, and I think you made it better. Just saying. God, we've opened up a whole new box now, haven't we? Oh, that's a, that's a can of worms, uh, I don't know what

Lucky Ricky Gervais isn't here to hear you say. Look, I love Ricky Gervais. I think he's fabulous.

He's backtracking.

I never said he wasn't.

Never said he wasn't. Digging. Um, Ricky, for that reason alone, going to wrap this up. Ricky, my man, never meant any harm. You did.
