Transcript

00:00Have you accidentally spoiled the Stranger Things plot line?

00:03No, and I don't plan on doing that.

00:05Hey, I'm Joe Keery and today I'm letting Elle ask me anything.

00:11All right, let's get into it.

00:13What's the one thing you wish people knew about you?

00:15Nothing.

00:17I don't think there's...

00:18People know plenty.

00:20Is there anything people always get wrong about you?

00:22There's one thing.

00:23When I first was on Stranger Things,

00:25it said on my Wikipedia that I was from Costa Rica.

00:28So that's not right.

00:31The other thing is my birthday is wrong,

00:33but I actually really like that.

00:35So I'm like, this is good.

00:37This is good.

00:38Maybe someone can't steal my identity or my passwords

00:40because all my passwords are just my birthday, by the way.

00:43We're so far down the rabbit hole now

00:45that even people close to me are like,

00:47hey, bud, happy birthday.

00:49I'm like, you don't know me, motherfucker.

00:52But you are a Taurus.

00:55Yeah.

00:56Yeah, I am a Taurus.

00:59I shouldn't have told you that.

01:03What's the most Taurus thing about you?

01:05I'm a creature of habit.

01:07I really like having a little space for myself

01:11and like having all my stuff set up.

01:13Do you believe in sociological compatibility

01:16when it comes to relationships?

01:18I think it's like, you know, it's fun to talk about.

01:21But do I believe in it?

01:23I don't know.

01:24I'll tell you when I meet my wife.

01:26What is the worst pronunciation of Joe you've ever heard?

01:30D-J-O.

01:32No, I don't know.

01:33Probably D-J-O maybe.

01:35I mean, it's confusing.

01:37Don't you know Novak Djokovic?

01:39That makes it a little easier.

01:41What's something you stole from the Stranger Things set?

01:44Finn Wolfhard.

01:45I stole him.

01:46And he's just in my house.

01:48I put him in this really cool area.

01:50He's great.

01:51He's so cool.

01:52I took him.

01:53Give him a little food.

01:54He's fine.

01:55No, I'm just kidding.

01:56I'm just kidding.

01:57That's horrible.

01:58Drop your haircare routine.

02:00Every time I do that, people are like,

02:02this bro doesn't shower.

02:03So I'm not going to do that.

02:05Do people comment on your hair a lot?

02:07Yeah.

02:08All the time.

02:09Yeah.

02:10Do you get sick of it?

02:12So sick of it.

02:14Absolutely so sick of it.

02:16So there's no secret?

02:18No.

02:19You should see my parents.

02:20I'm like a product of my parents.

02:22Yeah.

02:23And my grandmother too.

02:24Actually.

02:25My grandmother's like,

02:26we have actually the same hair.

02:28You got it from me.

02:30We kind of do it the same haircut.

02:32Just like thick, you know.

02:34Fuck me.

02:35What's one item that's always on your tour rider?

02:39Berries.

02:40It's a luxury item.

02:41I put some of them on my yogurt,

02:43but I don't want to use them all.

02:44And I'm like,

02:45sometimes they go bad because I'm like,

02:47I can't eat all these.

02:48If you're only in town for one day,

02:50these berries have to be eaten.

02:52Have you accidentally spoiled

02:54the Stranger Things plot line?

02:56No.

02:57And I don't plan on doing that.

02:58I feel like if anybody is an actual fan of the show,

03:00they just want to like wait for it to come out.

03:02But I've like,

03:03I've talked to some people about certain things.

03:05Yeah.

03:06Like my dad will read a lot of the scripts.

03:10I'll be like,

03:11Hey dad.

03:12Because he just is interested in that.

03:14Him on the other hand,

03:16he might spoil it.

03:18Name one artist your fans would be surprised to know

03:23you listen to.

03:25Rafi.

03:26Maybe Rafi.

03:27You guys know Rafi?

03:30Nobody knows Rafi?

03:31It's like children's music.

03:33I got some cute nieces.

03:36So I'll listen to some Rafis from time to time.

03:38What's currently on your TikTok FYP?

03:41Don't have a TikTok, motherfucker.

03:45Sorry.

03:46What's the name of the cast group chat?

03:49It's like so basic.

03:50It's like ST chat.

03:52It's not exciting.

03:53Everybody's always like,

03:54What's up with the chat?

03:55What's up with the group chat?

03:57It's like,

03:58Hey, anyone in New York?

03:59Hey, happy birthday, Gaten.

04:01Who's the most active in the group chat?

04:03Finn?

04:04Probably.

04:05Finn's a good communicator.

04:06He's really good at like keeping in touch.

04:09He's really,

04:10he's,

04:11he's good like that.

04:12What was your reaction to end of beginning

04:14going viral on TikTok?

04:17Good.

04:18Was working on this post animal record.

04:20Made another record with my friends.

04:22And we were doing it in Bloomington, Indiana,

04:25kind of in like the middle of nowhere

04:26at a friend's house.

04:27Every couple of days I would talk to Adam

04:29and Adam would say like,

04:30Hey, you're doing pretty good.

04:31Something's going on.

04:32And we're like,

04:33Oh, cool. Great. Awesome.

04:34And then the next day you'd be like,

04:35It's really doing well.

04:37It's really getting out there.

04:39And they're like,

04:40Oh wow. I wonder what happened.

04:41It's great.

04:42When did you realize it was like viral?

04:44I guess when I got back from the trip,

04:46I was like, Oh wow.

04:47What the fuck?

04:49What's your guilty pleasure watch?

04:51Easy.

04:52Survivor.

04:53But that's not even really guilty.

04:55What about your comfort show?

04:56My comfort show is quite an uncomfortable show

04:59right now.

05:00It's Nathan Frito.

05:01It's a great fucking show.

05:02He's a genius.

05:03That show is so good.

05:06What celebrity were you the most starstruck to meet?

05:10I was at San Diego Comic Con with Finn.

05:13This is great.

05:1426, maybe seven years old.

05:17And we were waiting for the elevator

05:19and the doors open.

05:21And it's just Harrison Ford.

05:23And I love Harrison Ford.

05:25I think he's fantastic.

05:26Grew up watching all his movies and just,

05:28he's like a classic movie star.

05:30He had no fucking clue who I was.

05:32Absolutely not.

05:33But I, I know I shook his hand.

05:35I don't know how it ended up happening.

05:37Then we went into the elevator and we were like,

05:40Wow.

05:41What the fuck?

05:42And then Finn was like,

05:44And he was with Ryan Gosling too.

05:46I was like, I didn't even see Ryan Gosling

05:48because I was like zoned in on Harrison Ford.

05:51Sorry Ryan.

05:52Big fan of Fierce too.

05:54What song off the crux is the most underrated?

05:58I don't know about that,

05:59but a song that didn't almost make it was Egg.

06:02I'm really glad it did make it on.

06:04You can kind of like get in your head.

06:05You kind of want to put something together

06:06that people are going to like,

06:07but you also want to.

06:08And so now that I'm out of it,

06:10I'm like, thank God.

06:11I just was like, this has to be on this thing.

06:14It was very last minute.

06:15Have you ever caught anyone listening to your music on set?

06:18Well, when I was like putting the album together,

06:20I had like a link and I showed it to Charlie.

06:23He was honestly extremely helpful.

06:25He would listen and be like, oh, that's cool.

06:27These songs might be better if you switch the order.

06:29Or like he would be like, oh, interesting.

06:31Yeah, he might be right there.

06:32And so people found out that he had a link.

06:35And then, you know, it was like, oh, can I have a link?

06:38And so I slowly kind of like gave the link to everybody.

06:40Yeah, it was really nice.

06:42Describe the Stranger Things rap party.

06:44Sad, really fun.

06:46Actually, I had a fantastic time at the rap party.

06:49It was at this like massive warehouse sort of spot,

06:52which was kind of like, it's going to be a little weird.

06:54But I was just yakking it up with everybody.

06:56And everybody brings, you know,

06:58you work closely with everybody, cast and crew,

07:00and you get to meet people's partners.

07:02And, you know, I was just like, da, da, da, blah, blah, blah, blah,

07:05talking to everybody, having so much fun.

07:08Got a little drunk and like, just like, oh, I'm going to miss you.

07:12You know, like so good.

07:14What have you missed the most since filming Rap?

07:16Just like the people, spending time with everybody.

07:18That's the best part.

07:20What do I not miss though?

07:22I felt like I was always shirtless when it was freezing

07:25and then in a flak jacket when it was like 100 degrees.

07:28So I feel like that I don't miss.

07:30It's nice to wear shoes all the time.

07:33I feel like I was shoeless for a little while.

07:35I'll definitely miss Steve Harrington.

07:37But he lives in, lives in here.

07:41Thanks so much for watching.

07:42Check out my L-Man feature.

07:44I'm in it.
