00:00 Listen, congratulations! So much going on. How did it feel to be stepping into Aaron Samuel's shoes?
00:06 Did you have people that were asking about October 3rd yet?
00:09 Not yet, except my friends. Yeah, it was terrifying in a lot of ways because it's incredibly iconic, this movie, this role.
00:20 And you can never recreate what has been made, you know, but we can hope to honor it and do our best, and so it was fun.
00:28 I heard that you don't get to sing in this. Were you a little bit bummed about that?
00:32 F*ck no. Dude, like, no one's bummed about that. We're all happy. It's a victory for America.
00:39 I think we would have loved to see, maybe just a little bit.
00:41 I'll lip-sync. I'll do like the Zac Efron thing where he didn't sing and...
00:45 We're waiting for it. I also, did you get to talk to Jonathan Bennett at all throughout filming?
00:51 Never got to talk to him. I hope I got his blessing, like I didn't ask, you know, but you know, you can't recreate what he did.
01:00 He made that character so iconic and one of a kind, and so I just tried to do my own thing.
01:06 Well, the film is also super iconic, the original movie. Did you have a favorite Burn Book burn?
01:11 Oh, jeez, man. I don't even remember him like that. I gotta re-watch it. What's one?
01:17 Maybe one from this film.
01:19 I don't remember any of them.
01:20 Maybe Get In Loser?
01:21 Yeah, Get In Loser.
01:23 Those all... Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:27 You could pick any of them.
01:28 Yeah, Get In Loser is definitely the one.
01:30 Finally, I had to ask about Summer I Turned Pretty season three. Do we have an update? Have you seen scripts?
01:35 We have no clue. I haven't heard anything. They don't tell me anything.
01:39 Keeping it under wraps?
01:40 I would love to be the one to like leak it. I don't know.
01:43 Right here, THR exclusive.
01:45 If I knew, I would tell you.
