00:00What's the most predictable press question you get?
00:03If we're like Lucy and Steven in real life.
00:07Yeah, and then we always answer the same.
00:09We say...
00:10No.
00:11Hi, I'm Grace Van Patten.
00:13I'm Jackson White.
00:14And this is Cosmo Goes Deep.
00:17We're warmed up.
00:18We're, yeah, we're ready for it.
00:20We're ready.
00:21Jackson, what was the first moment
00:23you think our onscreen chemistry clicked?
00:27Chemistry reader.
00:27The chemistry reader, I have a picture of it.
00:30It was like our second and third chemistry read.
00:32I know, that was so cute.
00:34I was like, it's gonna be okay.
00:35It was so funny, it was such a sweet scene.
00:38In the read, and then in the show, it's like awful.
00:43People don't always think I'm nice.
00:46Yeah, sometimes people are crazy.
00:49Yeah, Steven was really sweet in that scene.
00:51Yeah, it was really sweet.
00:52Yeah.
00:53Is it me?
00:53I think so.
00:54Who's the most famous person in your context?
00:57Adam Sandler.
00:58He played my dad in a movie, and I still call him dad.
01:04He sent me a picture of like an SAT book or some sort of study textbook.
01:09And he said, you look like this girl.
01:11And it was just a girl on a textbook.
01:13Like one on the ERB prep book?
01:15It was like a girl study.
01:16He was like, is this you, kid?
01:17And I was like, no.
01:19No.
01:19I don't know.
01:19Okay, Jackson, who was your first celeb crush?
01:22I love this answer.
01:23It's Zoe Saldana.
01:26But.
01:28But Blue.
01:29Blue.
01:30Because she was an avatar.
01:32I fully get it.
01:34Besides me, who would you cast to play your on-screen love engine?
01:40Brutal.
01:42If I could go back in time, John Travolta.
01:45Oh, yeah.
01:46You'd love Jay, Jay, Jay Travolta.
01:48Yeah.
01:49That would be a dream.
01:50Love him.
01:51That's cool.
01:52Okay.
01:53Which scene from the book were you most excited to bring to life?
01:56Did you read the book?
01:58I did.
01:59I read it on plane.
02:00Okay.
02:00Well, there's two scenes that I love that didn't make it in the show.
02:03In the book, they go on a ski trip, and they go on a boat, or maybe it's not ski,
02:07they're
02:08definitely on a boat.
02:09They're on a boat.
02:10And I thought it'd be fun to do like a boat episode.
02:12We did the lake house.
02:13We were on kayaks, but I thought it'd be funny if we were all on like a pontoon.
02:16Yeah.
02:17Doing pontoon stuff.
02:20When did you first get recognized?
02:22I would get recognized in high school, but as Shayling Woodley.
02:27Oh, yeah, yeah.
02:28So it wasn't for myself.
02:29I remember getting stopped in the airport, and it was a bunch of young girls who loved Divergent.
02:33And I sadly had to disappoint them and say, but they didn't believe me.
02:39It was really funny.
02:40I experienced getting recognized before I started acting, but not as myself.
02:46Jackson, what is the last movie you watched?
02:50What is the last movie I watched?
02:53Did you watch anything on the plane coming to New York?
02:56No.
02:58You raw-dogged the plane?
03:02Before that-
03:03What's the last movie we watched?
03:05Maybe that's easier.
03:06I remember.
03:07What is it?
03:08Regretting You.
03:09Oh, Regretting You.
03:10Yeah, we watched Regretting You.
03:12It was really cute.
03:13Wait, it's your turn.
03:14Which character's relationship advice are you least likely to follow?
03:18Literally every single one.
03:20They're all so bad.
03:22I would not take relationship advice for one single person on that show.
03:25Naughty little bunch.
03:26I know.
03:28What is the most aggressively New York thing about me?
03:32Your walking speed.
03:33Yeah.
03:34It's annoying.
03:35Well, you're slow.
03:37What's the most aggressively LA thing about Jackson?
03:42You wait for the walk sign to cross the street.
03:46Oh, that's normal.
03:48No, it's not.
03:49That's only you guys.
03:51Jackson, what tattoo do you wish people would ask about more?
03:55Ask about-
03:57I have a tattoo for Oblivion, for Elder Scrolls IV, Oblivion.
04:02Silence.
04:03You ever play that game?
04:04Ask me about it.
04:05No.
04:05It's the best.
04:06So I got a tattoo for it.
04:08Oh yeah, Grace gave me one.
04:09I've given him, I think, four tattoos.
04:11Yeah.
04:12They asked me about that on Drew Barrymore.
04:15They were like-
04:16They do?
04:16They were like, what did you do to impress Grace?
04:19Oh.
04:19In the early stages.
04:20And I was like, I let her tattoo my whole body.
04:24That was impressive.
04:25I was like, okay.
04:26Trust me.
04:27Yeah.
04:28A lot.
04:28I was like, give me a bat.
04:30Give me these like stencils.
04:31I was like, tattoo a bat.
04:33And then she was like, attempting a bat.
04:35And she was like, um, this-
04:39I don't know if I can do this.
04:40Yeah.
04:40So then we just made it like a line.
04:41We made it stitches.
04:43Stitches.
04:43Yeah.
04:44Um, oh, you.
04:45What scene were you most nervous to film with me?
04:48Well, just a scene in general I was nervous about was the tape that just the long-
04:56Just like the pure amount of pages and the intensity of it and like how many things we
05:03had to get through.
05:04It was just really, really loaded and intense.
05:07And I think I was just nervous about that scene in general for the season.
05:10Um, who was the last celebrity you DMed and what did you say?
05:16I don't think I DM celebrities.
05:18Oh, you do have a good one when you were, um, engaging with Chipotle.
05:23They sent me Chipotle for a year.
05:25Like unlimited Chipotle for a year.
05:28It was like an Amex for Chipotle.
05:30And a Halloween costume of a burrito.
05:33Oh, sorry.
05:34Like a morph suit.
05:35It was a burrito costume with the wrapping and the thing, which is crazy.
05:40They're like, here's free burritos for a year.
05:42Put this on.
05:44Okay.
05:44Do you think your astrology sign is accurate?
05:47Yes.
05:48I think so too.
05:50I'm a Pisces.
05:51I'm like Leo and Gemini in Pisces.
05:54Like in the, in the trifecta of like-
05:56Like you're rising.
05:58Yeah.
05:58Like I appear as a Leo, but I'm actually like a-
06:03Oh no, no.
06:03I appear as a Gemini.
06:04Oh, I didn't know that.
06:06I appear two faced, but inside I'm just like a little guppy.
06:10That's true.
06:11What is your most stereotypical eldest daughter trait?
06:14Ooh.
06:15I mean, I can be stubborn.
06:18I can, I'm really protective over my sisters and people that I care about.
06:25I think.
06:26I've seen you demonstrate both of those behaviors.
06:29Okay.
06:30Okay.
06:31What's the most oddly specific compliment.
06:34You'll never forget.
06:35Good boxer.
06:36Weird body.
06:36I was, you know, and she's like, good, good.
06:40You're good.
06:41Yeah.
06:41Good boxer, weird body, but good boxer.
06:46And I was like, and ever since then I think about that.
06:50Yeah.
06:50It's such a backhanded.
06:52It's so-
06:53I mean, I get it.
06:54I got a long neck.
06:55But you don't.
06:56Long reach.
06:56You don't at all.
06:57I do.
06:58No, you don't.
06:59No, I do.
07:00I kind of puff up in interviews, but I'm actually, I got like a weird, I got like long.
07:03Maybe you box.
07:04My arm, my hands go down past my knees.
07:07You do have.
07:08Yeah.
07:08A lot, a long wingspan.
07:10Yeah.
07:11Like a bird.
07:12But you're tall.
07:13Okay.
07:14Last question.
07:14What's the most predictable press question you get?
07:19If we're like Lucy and Steven in real life.
07:22Yeah.
07:23And then we always answer the same.
07:24You say.
07:26No.
07:26Yeah.

07:40You've already done that many times.

07:51You.

08:00Sure.
08:01Who would be more or less without a red carpet stylist?
08:03You.

08:07You.
08:08No.
08:09Just kidding.
08:09No, no, no.
08:10Neither of us.
08:12We answered all of them.
08:13And you wanted a minute.
08:14Wait.
