- This scene, this movie.
Hey guys, I'm Joey king.
I will be watching some clips
from my past jobs and giving you the inside scoop
of what really happened on set that day.
- [Boy] Hi Emily.
(laughter)
- Teddy?
- [Boy] Come quietly, or the bear gets a mustache.
- No!
- Gotcha.
- I hate you
- Get in line.
- Oh my God.
I remember every detail
of filming The Suite Life of Zach and Cody.
It was my dream job at that age.
I was so desperately in love with Dylan and Cole Sprouse.
So in love with them.
And so when I booked that role, I was just like,
my mom used to describe it when she was on set with me,
she was like, "I could basically see
little heart bubbles popping out of the top of your head
whenever you got to be with one of them."
But man, what a fun experience.
It was my absolute goal to be on that show.
And I got to play this little daycare brat.
I still can't believe I got to do that.
I'm I just, I loved that show so much.
I still have the Teddy bear.
That's right.
Oh my God. I was still naturally blonde,
which is mind blowing. I don't know when that stopped.
- In my world everyone's a pony
and they all eat rainbows poop butterflies.
- Oh my God. So I would say honestly, without a doubt
this is my most iconic character that I've ever played.
Katie from Horton Hears a Who.
My favorite part about playing her
is that sometimes that movie come up
in conversation with, like, people in my life
and no one actually knows that I was in it.
And then I'll just drop this bombshell information on them.
That I was the little yellow puffball.
This role has also my most memorable line,
which you just played. I'll never forget that.
I'll be, I could be on my deathbed
and I'll remember that line.
Just like a few months ago,
Britney Spears posted that quote on her Instagram.
And I was like, "oh my God, it's me".
The first time I went into the, the first audition,
I had a great time in there, but I was told I was too young.
I wasn't quite nine yet.
Hi. My name is Joey King.
I'm 4'2", and I'm nine years old.
Oh my God. That is really, really special to watch.
Wow. What a, like, a little, what a little social gal I was.
It was not much has changed.
I, I'm just like kind of blown away
at this like footage, honestly.
I, I remember that day so vividly.
Like it was yesterday.
I remember how nervous I was, and how excited I was,
and how they made me wear that little round haired wig
cause I was, like, blonde, like I said.
I feel like I haven't changed.
Like I feel like I'm the same exact person
as I was when I was nine.
Just like a little tiny bit taller, not much.
I, I remember not, not long after that day
they called me telling me I,
I was going to be Ramona
and my whole world changed.
My life changed after that.
What an amazing experience
and what an amazing day to have footage from.
I mean like, dang
- Who are you?
- Talia. My mother named me Talia before she was killed.
The way I would've been killed
if not from my protector, Bane.
- Goodbye.
I climbed out of the pit,
I found my father,
and brought him back to exact terrible vengeance.
- Ooh I just got goosebumps.
I love that movie.
This was an exceptionally cool
moment for me, as a Batman fan.
And honestly this role, this wordless, like,
role changed my life a lot too.
I mean, I still get people coming up to me,
like, men who probably hadn't seen any
of my other work being like, "Wait a minute
are you Talia from The Dark Knight Rises?"
And I'm like, "I am, like, my God, I'm a lot older.
And my, my hair is back, but wow, they could
they could notice this."
We shot the interior of the prison in London.
And we shot the stuff where I climbed
out of the pit in India.
So I got to go to some pretty special places to film that
like all these amazing clips you're showing me.
I'll never forget them.
These were such pivotal moments in my life.
And gosh, I mean, I can't say how proud I am to be in
in part of the Batman franchise.
It's so special.
Oh God this scene gives me so much anxiety.
(door creaking)
Nancy.
- What are you doing?
- My God.
Do you see it?
My palms are sweating.
There's something behind-
This scene. This movie.
It scares the living (beep) out of me.
And I like, I can't, I can't watch this movie anymore.
I, I love it.
I think it's such a great, scary movie,
but I am like, I'm still like really anxious about
the, I can't even say her name out loud
like the witch in the movie.
There was some weird stuff that happened
on set while filming.
And also like after filming the movie
I don't know if you remember, but the time
in the movie that the mom would always wake up on was 3:07.
For like a month straight after filming,
maybe twice a week,
I would wake up in the middle of the night
and it would be 3:07.
And I just like couldn't handle that.
Like it just, that movie is so scary.
I basically like out of nowhere developed a severe,
like a very serious, blood condition when I was on set
that was like connecting to like the condition
that the mother started having in the movie.
And I had to be like monitored in the hospital
every day while filming.
And then I got home and I've never had a problem
since with that specific condition.
So this movie freaks me out.
- Look, Brianna, I know you're better than this.
Can we talk about you for a few minutes?
- Can we talk about you instead?
- I'm an open book.
Ask me anything.
- How come you don't have a boyfriend?
And why did Mr. Genzlinger dump you?
And is it true that your boyfriend before that
cheated on you?
Are you bearing Miss Day?
And why is your voice so deep like a man's?
- It's not, it's not.
- Your happiness seems like a mask.
Well, I better go.
Whoo. What a bitch, am I right?
First of all, so fun to do.
That was a wig by the way, a little fun fact.
I filmed that after I filmed,
I think it was Dark Knight Rises, I think.
Yeah. So I was still kind of bald.
I had so much fun doing that.
I loved playing that character cause obviously like,
I mean I hope it's obvious,
I'm not like that character in real life.
A lot of my like internet hate that I receive these days,
a lot of like ammo that people use is my performance
in this episode of New Girl.
They're like, "See, look how awful she is."
It just cracked me up.
Good. It bothered you.
It was supposed to bother you.
I'm going to paint the letters
and then you are going to paint everything else, okay?
We're only two days away from the carnival.
So we need to move chop, chop.
- Have I ever told you that you're bossy?
- Yes. But then I told you not to tell me that anymore.
- You're funny.
- I prefer the term "witty".
- I'm more of a slapstick guy myself.
- Really? Oh
- I'm sorry. Is that the wrong color?
- Joel.
Oh you're gonna-
Gosh, look at us.
It's so funny.
I feel like that was like literally yesterday.
And that was like almost,
I think six years ago almost, its crazy.
That was the paint fight scene
in the very first Kissing Booth movie.
Gosh, that movie was so fun to make.
This scene particularly was just.
Any scene with Joel was like being like on a playground,
but also getting paid to do it.
We got told to be as messy as possible,
throw as much paint at each other as we could.
And we did exactly that.
We had so much fun.
I love scenes like this.
It's like being a kid and you just get to play around.
But you're being told to
so you can't get in trouble and that's the best.
- I should tell the priest the real priest,
what is happening.
- What?
What, mom stop.
Mom no, you're gonna ruin his life.
What are you doing?
- Jamie, he needs to know what happened.
You think you're the only one this is happening to?
- Mom, you're gonna ruin his life.
- What's going on?
(indistinct shouting)
Can someone tell me what's going on please?
- No seriously, why are you doing this?
Paul Scheer, "Can someone tell me what's going on?"
Why?
Stop,
stop please.
Oh boy, the story behind this scene,
not beating around the bush here.
So to speak.
I give a priest in training, a blow job in this movie
and then my mom finds out and she gets very mad.
I mean, that's kind of what that scene's about.
The scene is so teenagery, like
"Stop. What are you gonna ruin in life?"
It's so dramatic, but I love it.
It's really cool to look back on that movie
cause I loved the tone of it.
It was this like blend of like absolute, hilarious comedy
mixed with a lot of dark undertones.
I feel like it challenged me in a new way as an actor
at that age, especially, you know, I, I got to
lead this movie and, and take on this complex role
and complex subject matter and I'm so proud of it.
It's like it's, it's a crazy movie.
- I like you special.
- I know.
- Okay. Put a smile on that clean face.
Oh, oh that's my baby.
- Ooh. Boy. Oh boy.
What a chilling pair those two are.
Filming the show with Patricia was so, I mean
I'm so happy that we had each other.
We became so close and we had to go
through some weird stuff together,
some weird emotions and we had to summon that,
as people who live the lives,
like live our lives the way that we do,
we would never feel these emotions
and we had to make ourselves feel them.
This scene in particular also was really special
and weird to film because you know,
it's just an example of how Dee Dee
put Gypsy in just this view of like in infantilization,
like she was just making her feel so small,
so much like a child.
When in reality, Gypsy was an adult at this point.
I'm shocked that I was able to have such a good time
while filming such serious and heavy, heavy subject matter.
It really challenged me as an actor.
And I think I became a better actor from making that show
and a better person.
I feel like I learned more about myself as a human being
on that show than I ever had before.
It was transformative for me.
- Why did you invite me to this party?
Just to torture me?
- Okay. Full disclosure.
I invited you
because those other girls are always so mean to me.
Next time you bring a "Lisa",
someone from band camp or science club or whatever.
And then we'll all turn on her
and you'll be part of the squad.
It's so funny. I love,
I love that I played like an eight year old horse girl.
Like it's just so funny to me.
Oh my God. I remember where I was.
I was in a friend's living room on the floor
when I got the email to be on an episode of The Simpsons.
And I was like, I literally just went out loud.
I was like, "Guys, guys, I don't know
if I'm supposed to be telling you this,
but just guess what email I got."
Who doesn't wanna be in The Simpsons?
I have like photos from that day.
I was just like,
I'd taken tons of photos on the like, near the donut.
And I was like a fan, just like freaking out
when I got to the studio.
Voice acting versus, like, live action is so different.
But I really love voice work because it really allows you
to become a truly different person.
You have to convey and everything through your voice.
You can't do micro expressions with your eyebrows
or your smile or anything.
You have to give like every emotion
and every detail through your voice.
And that is so cool.
(dance music playing)
- Come on, baby.
Ooh, that might do it.
- New top score.
- We still got it.
- I love smell of victory.
This scene was so funny.
We rehearsed for such a long time for these dance scenes.
We had so many DDR dance routines to learn
and different variations of each routine to learn.
This one was particularly exhausting
because when we first learned it, it was so fast.
It was so daunting and scary at first.
And then we became addicted to it.
And literally like, we'd go to dinner
and we'd be at restaurants, like practicing in our heads.
We'd be like, "okay, wait, stand up.
No. Okay. Your foot goes there
and mine goes over here, and then you spin me here."
It was just like, it became kind of our lives
but it was so fun. I'm pretty good.
I have a decent memory when it comes to that stuff
I feel like I've got good short term memory.
Like I've been learning lines like my whole life basically.
And so I'm good at attaining information quickly
and then throwing it away forever.
So my long term memory's not so good.
I have problems remembering things
actually a lot of the time.
But short term, if you teach me something,
I'll probably, I can know it very quickly.
(ominous music playing)
I don't understand. What is happening
- When the separation is dramatic.
There's unfinished business.
He's in the, in between.
- Ooh. I wonder what this movie is.
Well, everyone, what we're here for today
now that I have your attention,
this is from, this is from the trailer for The In Between.
It is my new romantic tragedy with Kyle Allen,
who's the best.
It is so heartbreaking and it is so beautiful.
And I just can't wait for people to see it.
We had an enormously great time making it.
And so many emotions went into it.
There was a lot of tears
from happiness and sadness while filming this movie.
And I just can't wait for everyone to see it.
