- Hi, I'm Hilary Duff,
and I'm at BuzzFeed, here to do an interview.
(Gasps) No, no, no, four puppies?
Why do I get to do this?
- [Woman In background] Surprise.
- You smell so delicious.
Oh my goodness, hi.
Guys, I'm gonna cry.
You can't answer questions when there's puppies.
Do you plan on writing any more books in the future
and what are you reading nowadays?
I don't have any plans to write any books.
It was one of the hardest things I've ever done.
And right now I just finished a book called Pachinko,
which I loved.
It was very ambitious for me, it was like 500 pages.
And now I'm reading a book called I See You.
Look at this little floppy body.
What's one childhood teenage experience
you feel you missed out on?
I never got to have braces and I never got to have a locker.
It was two things I really was desperate for.
Would you ever do a Lizzy McGuire reboot?
Honestly, the idea sounded terrible
like two years ago when reboots
(laughs)
when reboots were happening, but you never know.
I don't know, I loved, I loved Lizzy McGuire.
And it might be really fun to see where she is now.
Hey, get outta my fishbowl.
Do you still know the monologue
from the locker room scene in A Cinderella Story?
Is it like something about waiting for you
was like waiting for the rain in a drought?
- [Woman In Background] Oh, no.
I've seen little like memes, that's why I know.
If you could have one normal day to yourself
without any paparazzi or fans, what would you do?
I'd probably go to the beach.
And I would just be with my kid.
We're so used to it now, but it is not the fans
but the paparazzi, it kind of is a bum out.
So that would be nice to just have a day
where he's not aware, and I'm not aware
and we would probably just go about and do normal stuff.
Oh god.
Are you Team Josh or Team Charles and why?
I'm team Josh.
Always team Josh.
Once Charles and Liza finally bone and get it over with
like what are they just still gonna talk
about books all day?
I wish that you guys could watch this
and like get the smells as like additional sensations.
It's so cute.
Did you or anyone else ever get hit with the giant red balls
in the Lizzie McGuire opening credit scene?
Yes, all day long, giant red balls, just flying at you.
At what moment did you realize you were actually famous?
Oh, I know the exact moment.
Lizzie McGuire aired and that weekend I went
to go meet my friends at the mall
and I literally had to hide in a janitor's closet.
It was like the craziest thing.
I had to call my mom from the closet.
Like someone who worked at the mall was like
getting me in a closet and my mom had to come
and pick me up, it was really crazy.
It was actually a little scary.
You, this tiny little nugget is so feisty.
You and your little heart is just pounding.
You're so cute.
If you had to give your Younger cast members
yearbook super- what is super-latives?
- [Woman In Background] Superlatives, like in the yearbook-
- Guys, didn't
- [Woman In Background] like class clowns
- Didn't go to high school, I'm like What's that?
(laughing in background)
Nico would be the biggest flirt for sure.
Miriam would be the class clown.
I think probably Kelsey would be like prom queen.
Did I do good enough?
Okay.
Which one of your songs could you listen to
on repeat and which one would you
want to erase from your memory?
My boyfriend brought it up the other day.
He was like "You know what was the best song?
Wake Up, Wake Up was the best song."
It was so cute.
I was like You know that one?
From the newer album
I love Spark, the single, it was really fun.
There's a lot on Metamorphosis that I wish I could forget.
But then so many people come up to me
and they're like That album was everything to me.
And they always call out the most embarrassing songs.
Like there's this song called The Math
and I don't get it at all.
That's like one of my most embarrassing moments in life.
So, probably a lot from that record.
Hard to choose really.
What is your favorite Lizzy McGuire episode
and which episode haunts you to this day?
My favorite episode is I Want a Bra,
a Bra, a Bra, a Bra, a Bra.
First of all, I think filming it was absolutely mortifying
for me 'cause I probably had just
gotten a bra in real life anyway.
But when I watch it back, I like that it's so funny.
What if this went to shit
and I started getting beat up on by the puppies?
(laughing)
This is like the best thing ever.
I think everybody should get to play with puppies
no matter what their job.
This is so happy; this is so funny.
Honestly, this was the best treat ever.
Guys, all of these puppies are for adoption
through the North Shore Animal League America.
Who doesn't wanna play with this all day?
Get your puppies.
Oh my god, this is the best.
