So first of all, it's somebody's birthday today. Ah, yay. Yeah. A piñata. Oh, of a two can. One of you gets the candy and one of you gets the Here you go, Nick. Which color, I guess you get to pick first. Aloha everyone. Nikki Novak here in the Young Hollywood studio with the descendants. Amara Miller, Shaylene Woodley, and Nick Krauser. Hi.

Nick Krauser

Krauser. Sorry. I just had to jump in there. I thought and I heard you pronounce it and I thought I got it right.

Shaylene Woodley

Oh, dude, it's a Rorschach test. You can say it however you want.

Young Hollywood

First of all, I love that you just said dude because you play the best stoner. Close your Close your ears. This is a Sid. Oh, Sid. What's up, bro? Don't ever do that to me again. So first of all, it's somebody's birthday today.

Shaylene Woodley

Yeah. Happy Birthday.

Young Hollywood

Oh my God, how sweet. It hasn't come out. Make a wish.

Shaylene Woodley

I'm okay. I'm going to make a good wish.

Young Hollywood

Not that your dreams haven't already come true during this movie. Shooting with George in Hawaii. Thank you very much. Ah, yay! And we have to have a toast. All right. We thought we would get sort of Hawaiian looking cocktails for you guys. Everybody grab one. They are non-alcoholic just so you know. Cheers.

Shaylene Woodley

Oh, I'm the birthday girl. Thank you guys. Thank you.

Young Hollywood

So, okay, first of all, I heard a crazy story about shooting with George in Hawaii that you were telling me before we started rolling.

Nick Krauser

One of the problems we had on the set was paparazzi guys coming around. And one of these guys was especially bad. He decided to paint himself green and put a potted plant on top of his head and hide in bushes with like a long distance camera. And so he got caught by some of the guys on set and so they took pictures of him and hung up like pictures of him around where guys would sneak into set as warning signs, like beware of Doug except it was a picture of a dude like a potted plant.

Young Hollywood

And you, miss, you got to flip off George.

Shaylene Woodley

Yeah.

Young Hollywood

How was that? We won't actually ask you to reenact it. We'll get in trouble. George. I mean, did you know when we were filming when like what that was the very first time you had to do it?

Shaylene Woodley

Yeah, I knew what it was but I like was weird about doing it and then I just did it and then it was fun. You know, to my underwear, you freak! Okay. No, no, no, no. Back inside, put on a swimsuit. Why? Now!

Young Hollywood

George is actually, he's a pretty big practical joker on set. Something involving an app with farts?

Shaylene Woodley

Yes. Yeah. Oh, man, the fart button app all the time. He would sneak into small groups of people on set and just, you know, pull out his phone and start hitting that fart button.

Young Hollywood

I love that George Clooney finds farting funny. Because just when you thought he was perfect.

Shaylene Woodley

I think his favorite jokes are fart and poop jokes.

Nick Krauser

Yeah. I mean, let's just be real. I find farting and pooping hilarious, right? I mean, everyone does it.

Shaylene Woodley

Yeah, I mean seriously, who doesn't appreciate a good fart joke? It's hilarious. We all love it. We all love it. It's hilarious.

Young Hollywood

And you, you had a really tough job in the movie. You had a lot of emotional scenes. You did an amazing job.

Shaylene Woodley

I went back to school thinking that that was it that I was just done with her. I was gonna call it, tell her everything. And then the accident happened and I was waiting until she woke up, I guess.

Young Hollywood

Well, we have a little game for you guys and there's a major prize involved. All right. So,

Shaylene Woodley

Wait, I have one question.

Young Hollywood

Sure.

Shaylene Woodley

Does it involve math or science?

Young Hollywood

Heck no.

Shaylene Woodley

Okay. Okay, this is supposed to be my vacation from school right now.

Young Hollywood

It is your vacation. All right. This is your vacation. Oh, oh yes. And the winner gets LA. So whoever gets the most LA at the end wins. We don't actually get LA. We just get LA. Again. Thank you. First question, which actress does George Clooney kiss in the movie?

Shaylene Woodley

Judy Greer.

Young Hollywood

I think you all kind of got it but you technically answered first. So you get LA.

Nick Krauser

Yeah. I could do this job, man.

Young Hollywood

Next question, which one of you ate most at craft services?

Nick Krauser

Amara Miller.

Shaylene Woodley

Amara Miller.

Amara Miller

What are you talking about?

Young Hollywood

You get it first. You get it first. She was ten in the movie. Who crapped out most during takes?

Shaylene Woodley

Me.

Nick Krauser

Yeah, probably Amara.

Amara Miller

Me.

Young Hollywood

Which island do you all fly to together?

Shaylene Woodley

Kauai.

Young Hollywood

Thank you. And last but not least, what flavor of ice cream does George eat at the end of the movie?

Shaylene Woodley

Milk and strawberry.

Young Hollywood

You both, you both kind of win. Maybe we'll have to share this. We have a piñata. Oh, of a two can. Yes. And we couldn't exactly figure out how to get the candy in there. So maybe one of you gets the candy and one of you gets the Here you go, Nick. And that's not all. There is more. You wait, come to our room tonight and we'll string this up, okay? Which color, I guess you get to pick first. Because you're the youngest, you get

Amara Miller

I'd like the red one. Thank you.

Young Hollywood

If you say dude one more time.

Shaylene Woodley

Dude.

Young Hollywood

Yes. And because it's your birthday.

Shaylene Woodley

Thank you. Happy Birthday.

Young Hollywood

Before we started rolling, you were doing a very cool dance. It would be a great way to go out. You and I can just join in. All right. Good. You ready? All right, ready? Set, go.
