- Sometimes we'd scroll through Raya.
- Why would you post your sandwich?
- Last time I talked to you guys I got to play with puppies,
- That's a talent.
(speaking in gibberish)
You jerk.
- Hi, I'm Hilary Duff
and I play Sophie on How I Met Your Father.
- Hi, I'm Francia Raisa
and I play Valentina on How I Met Your Father.
- Today, we are here with BuzzFeed
to take the Co-Star Test.
Franc, we got this.
- Okay.
Oh yeah, she calls me Franc.
I haven't heard that in so long.
(smooth music)
- Okay, the first question is
if I know Francia's birthday
and I do because I Googled it,
I'm just gonna confess right now that
I didn't know her birthday, but that's a tough question.
Who knows birthdays, it's July 26th.
And I was very upset
because I forgot that you're a year younger than me.
(beep)
1988. - Yup.
(laughing)
- She's not 34 yet.
(laughing)
It's coming pretty soon.
- So I also Googled and I didn't know we had this,
but Hilary gave it away and it is September 28th, 1987,
'cause she's a year older than me.
- One extra wrinkle.
The next question is the first time we met.
And I remember the first time we met,
I was heavily pregnant with my son, Luca
and it was in my mom's kitchen.
Francia asked me if I had lost my mucus plug yet.
(laughing)
- Yeah, yeah, that happened.
The first time we met,
I was hanging out with Haylie, her sister
and you know, grew up watching her,
I was nervous and I was trying to play cool
and I had just learned what a mucus plug was
'cause my friend was pregnant and I was like,
I'm gonna share that I'm smart,
have you lost your mucus plug?
Not realizing how personal that is,
but you were amazing about it
because you laughed at me and you were like, t
hanks for asking, no.
- No one wants to talk about a mucus plug,
but when it's happening to you, you're like,
I'm dying to lose it, but it hasn't happened yet.
- Yeah, what were you like 24?
I was 23.
Yeah, I made a good first impression guys, but memorable.
- Favorite snack at crafty.
This is really tough.
I'm not gonna say that I know her favorite snack at crafty,
but I do know that the girl can take down a bag
like this big of
chili pistachios.
- You're absolutely right. - I'd say that's
the top snack in your life.
- That was the top snack in my life when I discovered them,
but on set, I always had rurkey sandwiches and chips.
- Yeah, by the way,
I think you've got on that Turkey sandwich train
because I told you that they'll make them for you.
And you were like,
- Yeah. - where'd you get that
one day. - Yeah, that was all you.
She showed me the ropes.
I don't know if you have a go to.
Would you get smoothies?
- Yeah, I'd get like a shake or.
- Yeah, yeah, you'd get like a shake or smoothie.
- Yeah, but also she loves a sneaky bag of chips.
- Oh yes because every time I had my chips,
you'd be like give me some, - Yeah.
give me some and I'd go get it.
- We like the same flavors,
except for sometimes I have a sweet tooth and she doesn't,
but like, it would be like 10:30
and she'd be like getting down on a bag of jalapeno chips
and I'm like, girl, you're taking me down with you.
- Oh, your favorite snack on set is my salsa!
That's what it is.
- That's true, but you didn't hook that up
until like the last two weeks.
- Well, I didn't know.
I didn't know it would be such a hit.
Your dressing room must have.
Well, you had your little like sash.
Your birthday. - Oh yeah, my birthday sash.
- There was a lot of candles in there.
Smelly, good smelly stuff.
Yeah. - I'm gonna say
you can't mark that right
because my dressing room must have is yarn.
- Damn it, I knew that.
(laughing)
- I'm gonna say that your dressing room must have is music.
- Dang, you got that right.
- Go to activity between filming scenes.
- FaceTiming with her kids or watching videos of her kids.
- Oh, that's so embarrassing, but probably true.
Sometimes we'd scroll through Raya.
(laughing)
- Scroll Raya while we were filming.
It was a five minute moment.
- A five minute moment, that's it?
- I mean, I deleted it before we wrapped.
- That's true.
- On this set, yeah,
I was on Raya a lot between takes, you're right.
- I remember being excited about that 'cause I don't get to,
I'm not, obviously not on a dating app,
I don't get too.
No, I don't, I'm glad I'm not,
but like it was very fun learning Raya.
- She's like no,
no,
not good enough.
I'd be like what about him?
No!
Give me that.
- Or I'd be like, ew I know him!
- My favorite was, I don't like the sandwich he's eating.
No.
Why would you post your sandwich?
- Their giveaway that they're about to break character.
Franc breaks character more than me, I think.
- Yeah, you're pretty good about it.
- Sometimes things are so funny that you would laugh,
but I think more than that, it would be like an inside joke
and then we would like break a little bit,
right? - Yeah, yeah.
I think-- - Like if we looked
at each other too long or something like that,
like I feel like we'd kind of get the giggles.
- Yeah, I look down a lot,
but you just keep staring at me and you start,
yep, that's what you do.
(laughing)
- I think it took us all a second to get to know
what each other meant without,
you know how you get to know people without
them having to say anything.
But half the time, this much of our face
was covered up with like a mask.
So everyone would be like,
like I remember Tom had told me this, I'm scared of Hilary.
Like, I don't know what she's thinking.
She always looks like she's smiling,
but like that's not normal.
- They were afraid of you the whole
like first half of the season,
they're like, I don't know if she likes me.
- That's so insane.
- 'Cause of that one party. - I'm the least
scary person ever, I don't understand.
- When they say something that like
you just don't understand,
you'll look at them and be like, I don't get it.
And they're like,
okay, I'm gonna go over here now.
- Their favorite scene that you shot on set.
Okay, I think that your favorite scene
is the one where we're sitting on the cur outside the club,
outside of FOMO.
- Oh, that was a good one, I do love that scene.
I do love that one, I was thinking of
our ex of Jane Fonda bit.
- Is that your favorite?
- That was funny to me.
The bat mitzvah.
- Hell no.
- I don't know.
- The very last scene.
- Oh, damn it, the very last scene.
Okay,
I didn't get that right. - Yeah.
- Oh that was a good one.
- I don't know this your favorite character
they've ever portrayed in a different project.
- Oh God, let me think,
Lizzie McGuire.
Come on, hands down.
I mean, listen, I'm very quick to tell her.
I even asked for a palette.
I've asked for many things.
- Oh my God the Lizzie palette
that never was for you. - Yeah.
- I have no idea this for you.
- You jerk.
- I know.
- Grown-ish?
- I honestly, I have to say this one, how I met.
- It says in a different project.
- Oh wow, okay.
I would say then probably,
probably Life-Size 2, working with Tyra.
- 'Cause Tyra Banks is cool.
Their hometown.
You're a Cali girl.
- Yeah and you're a Texas girl.
- That's right.
Okay, middle name.
Oh my God, wait.
Francia is your middle name, isn't it?
No, no, no, no, no, no.
It's long, I don't remember.
- It's on my box right now.
- Oh my God, that's right, damn it!
Her last name is her middle name,
God I'm never gonna forget it.
(laughing)
- Raisa's my middle name.
I have no idea what yours is
and apparently you're about to reveal it to the world,
let's go.
- I know, oh my God, it's Erhard.
- Who?
- I know, there you go.
It's E R H A R D
and it's like a family passed on name from Texas.
It's fine now that I'm older,
like I'm proud to have the name,
but when I was younger, my dad said he found
like I would like practice my autograph
when I was like really little
and I would make my middle name Emily
'cause it started with an E.
He found like sheets of paper in my desk drawer from Texas.
that was like Hilary Emily Duff, Hilary Elizabeth Duff
anything, but what my middle name was.
- I'm calling you Erhard from now on.
- Great, can't wait.
- They're go to order at a bar.
- Yours is-- - Mine's a margarita.
- Well, tequila, soda water, lime.
- There you go.
There you go. - Yeah,
she basically makes her own version of a skinny margarita
with all these ingredients and yeah, lime juice.
- You'll first order a whiskey drink of some sort
and then decide that you don't like it
and then order a some sort of red wine.
- Bingo!
(laughing)
- And their secret talent.
I don't think it's a secret,
but you're like a badass dancer.
- Thank you.
- And salsa maker.
- Yeah, well the salsa you made that known,
you made that known.
- Yeah.
- You crochet.
That was a new hidden talent I learned about.
She made a lot of cute little hats for some of our crew.
- And I can speak Jibberish.
- Yes, she showed off that talent
and I already have a hard time speaking English
so it doesn't help that she does this.
(laughing)
- Two different kinds, one's called Ob
and that's like what my husband speaks
so I've learned that, but it's really much more challenging,
but like growing up with my sister I'd speak Jibberish
and I'd be like
(speaking in Jibberish)
and I just said I have not had my coffee today.
- I just thought of a secret talent.
So in episode two we talk about the thing that
Charlie does with the tongue, I can do it.
- Lucky charming
Oh.
- He does this thing with his tongue
where he folds it, yeah. - Oh.
You can, I can't do that.
- I learned it in middle school,
so I was laughing hard when that came about.
That's a talent.
- I only got 60%.
- It says I got 10 out of 14 right.
- You know absolutely everything there is to know
about your co-star.
You got to know each other extremely well
while you were filming together and it shows.
This better not be the last time
we see you together in front of the screen.
How I Met Your Father premieres on January 18th on Hulu.
And here it goes in Jibberish.
(speaking in Jibberish)
Ta da!
- Let's hang out,
let's be friends. - Okay.
(gentle music)
