Transcript
00:00Playing Max on Stranger Things, I mean it's meant everything to me. It's been
00:04such a huge part of my life. It's gonna be like difficult to say goodbye to her
00:10whenever that day comes. It's been like the thrill of a lifetime, really, and it's
00:15taught me so much about myself and myself as an actress. So yeah, to answer
00:21your question, it's meant a lot.
00:31For my 20th birthday, I had COVID, so I didn't do anything. I don't know if I
00:37would have done anything if I, you know, didn't even have COVID, because I'm not a
00:41big birthday person. I don't do like big parties or celebrations. But yeah, 20 is a
00:46big year. It definitely feels a little bit more adult, I guess. You're out of your
00:51teens, you're into your 20s. Max and I are similar in the sense that we both have a
00:57hard time trusting people, maybe. I think we both kind of have walls up, but our
01:02walls look very different, if that makes any sense at all. But yeah, it takes a lot
01:07to earn our trust, but then once you have it, you have it. I think Max is
01:11definitely more assertive than I am, and playing her has kind of like helped me
01:16to become a little bit more assertive when needed in my own life. But yeah, Max
01:21has always kind of been very, you know, headstrong and sure of herself.
01:25My favorite memory from Stranger Things... I mean, there's a lot of great
01:30memories, and I think my most favorite and most special memories are more so
01:35for me than for everyone else. You have to keep some little details like private
01:40because they're so precious. Everyone's so supportive, and like waking up
01:44every day and going to set and being genuinely so happy to be there, and having
01:48a cast that's just really uplifting. That's kind of like where most of my best
01:53memories lie. I think what I'll miss most about working on this show is the
01:58certainty that we're all going to see each other again and work with each
02:02other again. When we're in between seasons, there's really not a lot of... like
02:06you don't feel this pressure to like hang out with one another because you
02:08know like you'll see each other every single day for a year or however long
02:13it's gonna take. But once we don't have that anymore, I don't know what we're
02:17gonna do. So the All Too Well video, her team reached out to my team first and
02:23just said that she wanted to pitch something to me, and then we exchanged
02:28numbers. And I didn't know what she wanted me to do, but I would have said
02:32yes probably no matter what it was. And then she texted me and she pitched me
02:36the idea, and it just so happened to be like the short film for my personal
02:41favorite and one of her most iconic songs. So it was a no-brainer for me, and
02:45I've always looked up to her and loved her music. So working with her was
02:50something I never thought would happen, but I'm so glad that it did.
02:54What do the next five years look like for me? I'd say I think something I
03:00really want to do is get back into theater maybe. That's kind of where
03:05like my love and passion for acting was born in a way, so I'd like to kind of
03:10revisit that now that I'm older. So I don't know. That's on my wish list for the next
03:16five years, and we'll see whatever else comes my way I guess.
