-Thank you so much for being here.
And great job in the movie, pal. -Thank you so much.
Are you -- Are you enjoying New York while you're here?
'Cause you're an L.A. kid, right?
-Yeah, yes. I mean, I've been here four times this month.
-Really? -It's crazy.
-Are you thinking about moving here?
-Maybe? Maybe? We'll see what happens.
-Yeah, are you having fun? What did you do on Halloween?
Anything big?
-I went to the Time Square.
It was cool. -Oh, yeah?
-Yeah. -That was pretty fun.
-I think this is definitely cooler, though.
-Ah, that's what I'm talking about.
Yes! Thank you.
I saw you and Jonah were at a Knick game.
That was pretty fun. You sat courtside.
Was that amazing for you?
-It was my second time at a basketball game,
and it was the first time I paid attention
and knew what I was seeing.
But one of like --
An '80s rapper, I mean,
he dropped a margarita or something?
-Wait. Say it again. I'm sorry.
-Margarita. An '80s rapper, yeah.
-An '80s rapper? A rapper from the '80s?
-Okay, I'm sorry if I don't know his name.
I'm sorry if you're watching this.
But he dropped a --
-An '80s rapper. Okay, yeah.
What year were you born? -2005.
-Oh, my gosh. Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.
Okay, yeah. So, an '80s rapper. I mean, really old.
Yeah. He spilled a margarita on the court?
-Yeah, and I was sitting next to him.
And, I mean, the first thing that everyone looked at,
they were like, "Oh, it must be a little kid doing it."
And just another thing --
Putting this out there that, that was not me.
It was not me. Yes. -That was not you at all.
-It was not -- It was not me. -No, of course.
No. Yes. Invite him back to the Garden.
-Yeah, yeah, exactly. 100%. -To see another Knick game.
He doesn't drink margaritas.
-Yeah. He's too young. No, no. He doesn't do that stuff.
Congrats on the movie. How was Jonah as a director?
Was he fun? The best. -Jonah's the best.
-He is the best. -Jonah's the best.
-He said the same thing about you.
-He just got to visit me before I went on.
And I -- I love Jonah. He's the best.
-Now, how did he find you, though?
Did he just go to a skate park or...?
-Yeah, he went -- No, yeah. He did.
He did go to a skate park with Lucas, too.
And, I mean, that's where it all happened.
-'Cause it's a beautiful movie.
Basically about coming of age and finding your new family,
your new friends at a certain time.
You're like, "I'm going to start hanging out with my friends."
You get your clique. You get your buddies.
And yours was skaters.
And so he hired mostly all professional --
Well, I guess not professional skaters, right?
You're not professional, are you?
-Not yet. Not yet. But --
-You're just good. -Yeah, yeah. I'm not too bad.
I'm not too bad at skating.
-I mean, do you skate every day? -Yeah.
Every single day that I'm not either doing auditions
or playing "Fortnite," I'm skating.
Actually, no, no. That's combined.
It's skating, and then I play "Fortnite" later at night.
-You play "Fortnite" later. -Yeah.
Jonah said that it's harder -- He cast you guys
because he said it's harder
to be a good skater than a good actor.
He's like, "You can hire good actors,
but then they have to learn how to skate."
-Yeah, you have to be skating for so long to understand,
like, what skating is actually about.
I mean -- Yeah.
-'Cause -- Well, you can't just, like, learn how to do a trick.
I mean, then, you have that down,
but what goes into skating?
I mean, you see everything. You meet a lot of people.
And then you almost -- Sometimes when I'm in a nicer area,
I'm like -- I can adjust, like, my personality.
And then when I'm in, like, a bad area,
I already know what to expect.
I'm pretty open to the real world right now.
[ Laughter ]

-Wow. Who is this kid? Who are you?!
