- What's going on, everybody? This is Tyler Posey.
Today I'm here with BuzzFeed,
and I'm gonna be talking about my first times. (chortles)
(upbeat music)
First celebrity crush, Salma Hayek,
in the movie, "The Desperado," starring Antonio Banderas.
I was five years old when I watched it, and it blew my mind.
In the movie, he walks around
with a guitar case filled with guns,
and my older brother played guitar,
and he had an acoustic guitar case,
and I would fill it with water guns,
and put 'em in my diaper.
Is that old to wear a diaper?
They were Pull-Ups.
And I would walk around my house,
shooting my family with water. (chuckles)
First time I realized I was famous, I was at a Chipotle.
I don't remember with who. Could've been Dylan O'Brien.
Could've been. Probably not, though.
And the girl behind the counter recognized me,
and then came out of the counter, and gave me a hug,
or I took a picture with her or something like that.
But there was also another moment when I was 10 years old,
after I filmed the movie, "Maid in Manhattan,"
and I went to Six Flags Magic Mountain with my friends,
and we were on a log ride, and there were five of us,
but only four could fit in a log ride.
So I was like, "You guys go. I'll hang out, I'll hang back."
And so I got a log ride by myself,
which I thought was really cool in the moment.
And then we were, finished the ride,
and we were pulling up to the dock, I was by myself,
and there was some dude, older guy.
I was 10, so everyone was older.
He was like, "Hey, you're that kid
from "Maid in Manhattan," right?
Pretty sure I was like, "No," and I shrank,
and got really uncomfortable and nervous.
And that was the day my anxieties began. (chuckles)
The first person who believed in me,
definitely my parents, yeah, people.
They were my biggest supporters my entire life growing up.
I was a weird kid.
I was very creative, and artistic,
and I was an actor and a musician, or wannabe musician,
and I would always sing my songs
to my parents I would write.
Yeah, definitely my parents.
I don't know if that's a cliche thing,
but they were my biggest supporters.
I've heard a lot of people in my position
who wanted to be actors or musicians when they were kids,
and their parents were like,
"You gotta be a doctor," or something else.
So, I didn't go through that, thankfully.
They rocked, and still do.
Okay, the first song that I ever wrote,
I think I was about 10 or 12 years old,
and it's a weird song, it goes,
♪ Today I woke up a different person ♪
♪ It seems like I have no reason to live ♪
♪ (beep) up with 100 excuses ♪
♪ And I'm so goddamn useless ♪
♪ Once cool with a total mojo, no more ♪
♪ One, two, three, go ♪
(chuckles)
I was a punk fan as a kid, and still am,
and so I think there was some punk influence behind that.
Pretty cool, my parents allowed me to cuss when I was a kid,
so I started early.
My first music inspiration is a tough one.
There's a lot of 'em.
My dad took me to a Peter, Paul and Mary concert
when I was a kid.
♪ Puff the magic dragon ♪
And then my dad introduced me to "Layla"
by Derek and the Dominos, or Eric Clapton,
and I fell in love with that song.
But definitely Blink-182 is the band that changed my life.
I was seven years old when I discovered them
at my friend's birthday party,
and I was bouncing on a trampoline.
And I fell in love with that band,
I think partly because I was a kid,
and I was working out of the country in Canada,
and I was by myself, basically,
and I just got all Blink CDs, DVDs, documentaries, posters,
and I just, they became my best friends.
(chuckles) Is that sad?
And yeah, Blink-182 totally changed my life, yeah.
I have Travis Barker played
on one of my songs just recently.
I did a movie with Tom DeLonge.
He directed me in a short film,
and I still keep in touch with him, much to his disapproval.
Text him all the time. 'Sup dude?
The first day on the set of "Teen Wolf."
I remember it being freezing.
So we filmed in Atlanta, Georgia.
So our first lacrosse day, we were with Orny Adams.
Me and Dylan O'Brien were with Orny Adams,
who plays our coach.
And yeah, it was freezing.
And it was so cold that our lips weren't,
you know when you're freezing, and you try to speak,
and your lips don't move?
But we were having the greatest time.
We were 18 years old, freshly turned 18 years old.
And Orny's this comedian,
and saying all these really weird, creepy jokes,
and we loved it.
And craft service was there.
Craft service was great. Eating all the food.
Jeff Davis, the creator of the show,
since he hired me a trainer,
because werewolves are supposed to be buff,
he would follow me to the craft service table,
and be like, "You can't eat that,
(laughing) you can't eat that, you can't eat that."
First impressions of my "Teen Wolf" co-stars.
So, I met most of them at the audition process
when we were all still auditioning for our roles.
I was auditioning,
and there was another kid auditioning for Scott.
Dylan was auditioning for Stiles.
There was another kid auditioning for Stiles.
Tyler Hoechlin was auditioning for Derek.
There was another person reading for Derek.
But Crystal Reed was the only person
that was reading for Allison.
The second I walked into the room,
I was wearing a Hurley sweater,
which is a skate-surf company,
and then Dylan was wearing a DVS shirt,
which is a skateboard company.
It was the first pair of skateboard shoes I ever bought
when I was a kid.
And he had a buzzed head,
and I was like, "This kid looks cool." (chuckles)
I immediately was like, "All right, what's this kid's deal?"
'Cause as an actor, I grew up in a small town,
but skateboarding was the biggest thing in that town.
And I loved to skateboard, I loved punk rock,
and I didn't really fit in with other actors.
And so this was the first time I saw another actor
who was, seemed like a normal kid, like me.
And then I found out that he was.
He grew up in a surf town, and skated with his friends,
and played in a band, and we fell in love that day.
We started fantasizing about like,
"Dude, if you get this role, and I get this role,
we're gonna move to Atlanta, and I'm gonna bring a drum set,
and I'm gonna bring my guitar,
and we're gonna start skating, and whatever."
So we really hit it off, in a lot of ways.
And we got each other's numbers that day.
We still weren't sure if we had booked the show yet.
And then later that day we found out.
But yeah, Tyler Hoechlin, I met previously also
on another show that we did, called, "Lincoln Heights."
I was like, "Hey dude, what's going on?"
And he was like, he just seemed like this dad to me.
He was like our dad.
He was already 20 years older than us,
even though he was 22 at the time, or something like that.
Yeah, Crystal was just, obviously, a very pretty person,
a great actress.
It was fun to act with her. I loved them.
There was no bad one in the bunch, except for me.
What's up, dude?
Okay, yeah, so the first friend I made
on set of "Teen Wolf," I really fell in love with the crew.
We had stand-ins that we became really friendly with.
There was this one dude named Josh in Atlanta.
He became one of our best friends,
and he would always fly out to my birthdays.
We started this tradition
where he would come to my birthday,
at my 21st birthday in Vegas,
and then we just kept, he just kept coming out,
and he became one of my best friends.
And I have no idea what the hell he did. (chuckles)
I still have no idea.
It was set decorator, or something like that.
The first role that I really wanted and auditioned for,
but I didn't get, the original "Spy Kids."
I remember auditioning for "Spy Kids,"
and I didn't get that role,
and I'm still pissed off about it.
Gonna call my therapist.
(laughing) I didn't get very far in the audition process.
I remember I taped it in my,
it was the first tape I had ever done.
I was in my garage.
I was like, I don't know, I was really young.
I was eight years old, or something.
And I was in my garage,
and I remember my mom was filming me.
That was it.
We sent it in,
(chuckling) and we never heard back from them.
Then I saw the movie, and I was like, "Wait a second.
I said that line in an audition."
And then that was the beginning
of the worst days of my life. (laughs)
First famous friend I made in Hollywood.
It was Miley Cyrus, but I was filming in Canada.
So I was filming a TV show in Canada,
where I fell in love with Blink-182,
and her dad was the star of my TV show, which was "Doc,"
and he, Billy Ray Cyrus.
And we were kids. I was nine, she was eight.
I befriended Miley. She was the only person my age.
And so we would go to museums,
we would hang out all the time, write music,
do stupid stuff with each other that little kids do.
Yeah, she kissed me. (chuckles)
I remember there was one time we were in her house.
She was like, "Do this." I was like, "Okay."
(chuckles) She's like, "No, no, not that. Like this."
And I was like, "What?" (chuckles)
And then I, eventually I realized
that she was trying to make me do a kissy face.
And then she kissed me.
She planted a big one right on my mouth. (chuckles)
And I loved it. (laughs)
We were dating also. She was my first girlfriend.
So, yeah, my first kiss, I guess, technically, was Miley.
It was very awkward, and very young, and juvenile,
and cute, and sweet, and wholesome.
So, aside from that, there, as a kid in junior high,
everyone was talking about making out.
"You made out yet?" You go to the movies and you make out.
There was a girl in my friend group
who hadn't kissed anybody yet, or something like that.
And I was bragging.
I was like, (scoffs) "Yeah, I've kissed a bunch of times."
And I actually, at that point,
had never made out with anybody.
This is the first time I'm saying this.
My whole reputation is about to be ruined right now.
And I'd never made out with anybody,
but I was like, "Yeah, yeah, I make out all the time, dude.
Yeah, I made out with her, made out with her."
I remember, she was like, "Okay, well then let's do it."
I can't remember how it started, but we were gonna make out.
And we did it. I went in, and we started kissing.
I think I got flushed and nervous, and so I pulled away,
but I think I blamed her for biting my lip,
which she didn't.
I was like, "Ow! Oh God, she bit my lip, oh"
So that's it. So yeah, I'm a fraud.
There you go, BuzzFeed. It sucks.
First time I was starstruck I think was probably,
was either Mark Hoppus, backstage at a concert.
And I was drunk, and I walked up to him, and I was like,
tapped him on the shoulder.
I was like, "Hey, I just wanted to say,
I'm a huge, huge, huge fan."
And he's like, "Awesome, dude. One second."
And he turned around and walked away. (laughing)
I was like, (beep) I was probably really drunk and stupid.
And no, I wouldn't wanna talk to me either.
Also, I love you, Mark Hoppus, so much.
But I think also, there was a time
I was doing the Scream Awards for FX, Fox.
I can't remember 'cause I was presenting an award,
and I was backstage, and Quentin Tarantino and Nicolas Cage
were having a conversation with each other.
And I just wanted to be a fly on the wall so bad
for that conversation,
because it would've been the craziest conversation ever.
But I was like, I'm a huge fan of Quentin Tarantino,
and I was like, "Hey man, I just wanna say, big fan of you."
And he's like, "Oh, thanks. Thanks man.
Yeah, Tyler, okay, awesome. Very nice to meet you."
He was really sweet. It was awesome.
First on-set memory for working with J.Lo, Jennifer Lopez,
in "Maid in Manhattan."
We were in the Bronx, I think, filming,
and I was in my trailer.
And her trailer was kind of across the street from mine,
the big extravagant, luxurious trailer,
and I was in this little tin can, but I loved that tin can.
There was a group of people surrounding her trailer,
and also a fire truck.
The firemen were on their PA system,
saying, "J.Lo, J.Lo," enticing her to come outside.
And then I told her, I remember I told her, I was on set,
and I was like, "Did you hear the firefighters
screaming your name to come outside?"
She's like, "No, I didn't hear that."
But yeah, that was a weird one.
Then there was also another time
where we got into a van with her.
We were filming, and then we got into a van,
and then people started rocking the van.
We had all these fans come up to her.
It was cray, it was scary. I was frightened.
This poor little 10-year-old boy is pooping his pants.
And that was the beginning of the worst day of my life.
And I'm still pooping my pants.
Thank you, BuzzFeed.
Those were my firsts,
and hopefully some fresh answers in there.
I had a lot of fun. Thank you for joining.
Make sure you check out my EP, "Drugs,"
and also, come hang out with us on tour.
I'm on the Internet Killed the Rockstar tour
with MOD SUN and girlfriends.
We're all under the Big Noise label.

Please wear your underwear, and I'll see ya there.
