-I am so excited you are here.
Thank you for making time.
Seriously. I am so, so excited.
I was talking to someone backstage.
I think this is quite possibly
one of the first tapings where I'm a little bit starstruck.
Just a little bit. I'm a little nervous right now.
Don't look at me. -That's the trouble.
-I'm so sorry we're going to ruin all of this for you.
-No, not at all. It's going to be amazing.
Let's just dive right in.
Because you've both been acting since you were so young.
You've been child actors. What were you like as child actors?
-Uh. Incredible. Is the only word I would use.
-This is what I have to deal with all time.
-Yeah. I am pretty incredible, huh?
-Yeah. -No, I -- I -- I don't know.
I think I was a pretty weird kid.
I was kind of obsessed
with, like, movies and that kind of stuff.
I used to walk down to Blockbuster by myself.
-Blockbuster. RIP. RIP.
-Yeah, rest in peace. -RIP.
-Starting to show my age.
You know, I would walk there when I was like 12 years old,
and I used to, like, rent movies.
And they were always very, like, violent.
I was kind of obsessed with that.
I think I was, like, a little bit obsessed
with death and mortality and that kind of stuff.
-Cute, cute. -Yeah, you know.
-Cute. -Yeah.
So a very charming young kid.
-Super fun. Super fun.
-I feel like another thing that child actors are kind of
known for is their -- their variations in hairstyles.
I feel like they go through a lot of phases.
I want to talk about your phases for a second.
Because -- We're going to start strong here, Cameron.
Let's show you in your prime. I mean --
-Ugh! -What's going on?
Talk us through. What's going on here?
-Uh, yeah, there was a lot of work put into that, you know.
That's -- That's kind of what I just naturally looked like.
Just like a little, um, goblin.
-[ Laughs ] But then you progressed to this.
-Oh, yeah.
-Okay, now, talk to me, because, did you straighten you hair?
What happened?
-Looks like I took some hay and dyed it.
Looks fantastic. That's a great look.
-That's a lot of hair, man. -I had a lot of hair.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
-All right. Let's look at one more.
-Okay. Oh, yeah. -So --
Do you -- Do you get confused with KJ from "Riverdale" a lot?
-Oh, oh. Oh, that is KJ Apa. -Oh, did you think it was --
Oh, I get it. I get it. -No, I do, actually.
I was in this new "Star Wars" game called
"Jedi Fallen Order." -Uh-huh.
-And there's been, like, posters and advertisements and stuff.
And people were, like, sending it to me on Twitter saying,
"I can't believe that KJ Apa is in this game."
And -- And that's not him.
And he's in fact a lot younger than me.
So, if anything, he looks like me.
-Oh! Correct.
-So I'm taking the opportunity here to start a feud.
-Yes. Start a feud right here!
-I will fight you. -All right. Here we go.
Here you go. Fight you right there.
-I will fight you to the death. -That's right.
And because you're a real redhead, are you not?
-I am, indeed. -That's right!
And you're not! -He's a faux redhead!
-That's right! -Go back to New Zealand, you...
-That's right! Starting the feud right here!
-Got him. -Got him. Roasted him so hard.
-Yeah. -So hard.
-He's going to be hurt. -That's right. Oh, my God.
don't think you're safe,
because I have some pictures of you, too.
-Oh, no.
-Um, and, y'all, brace yourself for this one.
It's a goodie. Let's take a look of Noel real quick.
I mean...
Draco Malfoy cosplay days. Talk me through this.
-That's my -- That's my leatherbound choir-boy look.
You know? I don't know. It's kind of --
-Was this your first show? -Yes, that's the one.
-Oh, okay. -That's --
-This is your first? -No --
-No, this is -- it's -- -It's a good look, man.
It's a good look.
-I feel like I've never seen you frazzled than this moment.
Like, truly. -I mean, you know.
What do you -- I don't know what to even say.
It's -- It's -- It's very blond.
My skin and my hair are the same color.
[ Laughter ] I don't know what to say.
-It's a look. It's a vibe. We love it. We love it.
[ Cheers and applause ] So, spoiler alert.
It shouldn't be a spoiler alert
if you have your priorities in check, but you are back
for the tenth season of "Shameless."
Congratulations.
Now, were you surprised by the fan reaction
of being in the tenth season?
Because there were some surprises that went down.
-Yeah, I mean, it's -- -Yeah.
-It's been really positive.
And that's, you know, not necessarily a surprise.
But that's amazing.
I feel like there's been, like, an overwhelmingly good response.
-Yeah, people are excited.
It's something that's been pretty fascinating about this --
this whole journey, is the reactions
that fans have had and how deeply a lot of people
seem to have been touched by the story.
And it's really cool to get to partake more in that, you know?
-For sure, and I feel like your on-screen chemistry --
and even off-screen, you guys are just great together.
You have great energy and chemistry.
-We hate each other a lot. -Yeah, we despise each other.
-Okay. Good, good. Good.
Let's take a look at a promo. And I love it. It's my favorite.
-What's happening on season ten of "Shameless"?
-He gets put in the cell, and then he sees Mickey.
And it's, like, this really amazing, sweet moment.
Get out of my shot, Noel!
And it's really amazing. -I'm sorry, sir.
-'Cause there's so much love between these characters.

-You just yelled at me, man.
-I love it. You're so much fun.
