Hey, I'm Katie Cassidy from CW's Arrow.
And she's gonna show us her bow and arrow skills live on Young Hollywood.
Or lack of. Go on, go. Oh my God. Oh my God. This is not gonna be graceful. Mom, if I don't make this, I love you.
Two of my favorite ladies. Hi. Georgie and Katie Cassidy. Yes. Yes, hi. This is a wonderful day for me.
Oh good.
Both of you here together. Yes, we sit down. I never thought this day would come. Arrow. Looks amazing, doesn't it?
Thank you. Yeah.
It's like a a lot of buzz about it. Everyone's talking about it.
Yeah, it's been really fun. It's I am shocked every time I'm on set and I get to watch all these like action scenes and my jaw just dropped because I can't believe I'm a part of something so cool.
It is pretty cool. And that really ugly man in it, Stephen. Oof. Don't like him. He's difficult. Very difficult to work with. Very difficult to look at. I'm sorry. I saw the trailer. I immediately hit the. Yeah. I'm like, wow. I've got issues.
Yeah.
Well, I think you and probably every other um male.
That makes me feel bad. As long as everyone else is suffering.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Every other guy feels the same way. And it's from a comic book. As well. Ah, yes. Comic. The it's based off the Green Arrow. Were you familiar with the Green Arrow?
I had heard about it, but I I didn't necessarily know much detail. Right. It sort of happened organically and I had a very good take on on Laurel is the character that I play and she's a lawyer and um I went back to do a little bit of research, but I didn't necessarily take it in as far as letting it affect my idea of who she was. I I tried not to let it affect that. Right.
And um you're in love with Stephen, who plays Oliver. So you're actually in love with Oliver on the show.
Yes. Laurel is in love with Oliver. Funny that. I know. Just saying.
So interesting. Shocking. Things can point you in the right way. Your choice to be let it happen. I mean, he's a superhero.
Well, yeah. And I've been called Who's not in love with a superhero?
Oh, okay. You're in love with a superhero too.
Yes, I am. Yeah.
So you have a crush on Stephen as well. All this. I Oliver loves Oliver. Oliver loves Oliver. People have said that before. Yeah, yeah, there you go. We're gonna play a little game. So so clever. Arrow. Shoot an arrow. You guys do know that I have never shot an arrow before. Yes. So this is No, but I. Okay, good. And you're gonna shoot it into there. That target. Are we standing up and doing it?
You can stand, you can sit. I don't even know if I know how to throw. You really haven't shot an arrow before. I wasn't kidding when I told you I'd never shot an arrow. No, I didn't realize there was that much in it. All right. You can hold it that way, you can hold it that way. All right. So I should have been Stephen's role. Why didn't they cast me? This is not gonna be graceful. Mom, if I don't make this, I love you. Hold on. Hold on. Oh my God. That was pathetic. Yeah. That was so pathetic. I don't know how I do it. Yeah. You guys better not. I mean, how this far too near to me. The target. He got me. If I got ink all over me now. See, I mean, I hope he did. That'll be kind of amazing. That is definitely a Hollywood lawsuit. That was deliberate, Katie. I'm sorry. I guess I need, you know, archery lessons. Um, move on to this now. Just angry Twitter questions. Yes. At The Prom Queen, why are you such a terrible shot? How does she know that? No, it's not the prom. What was the hardest scene to play on Arrow?
Well, there's actually a a fight sequence that I have and they ended up um sort of basically giving me the choreography that day. But it turned out it turned out to be pretty pretty cool and pretty bad ass.
Are you quite a good fighter now? So the with the trade. Better fighter than Arrow. Better than shooting arrows. Yeah. Yes. Okay. At Nod Nar, Yelgab. Are you single? Is 6'5 too tall for you? Is that seriously a question? That is serious, seriously a question. Answer the reason first, but I didn't. Wow. Nod So if you fancy dating Nod Nar Yelgab. He's 6'5. He likes you.
Well, Nod Nar, Yelgab. Are you single? Oh. He's switched it back around. Six five, you know. I'm 6'2 in heels. Sort of.
Nod Nar, Yelgab. You're in with a chance. Gab, Yel, Gab. If only I had that name. That's where I've gone wrong. Oliver, Nod Nar, Yelgab. You know. Um, okay. And at The Prom Queen, who is your funniest co-star that you've ever worked with?
Funniest co-star I've ever worked with? Well, I worked with Adam Sandler. Funny man. I mean, he's amazing. Right. Hilarious. Uh, so I would probably say him.
And the funniest person you've ever even could be even sat with. Doesn't have to be a co-star. Interviewed by.
Interviewed by. Like the funniest person. The funniest person I've ever been interviewed by. Hmm, that's a tough one.
Good luck, you. You, of course.
Thank you. Yes. Yes.
I knew it. And I didn't even have to push you at all. Um, but tell us about Foot Locker. You're like the brand ambassador for Lady Foot Locker.
Yes, we um I decided to partner with them. They are very supportive of women and you know, making sure that they feel good and and look good and right now between now and December, you can go to ladyfootlocker. com/myVIP and sign up with Lady Foot Locker.
