- I'm a glass case of emotion, okay.
Hi guys, I'm Lucy Hale here at Buzzfeed,
and I'm here to talk about my first times.
(up-tempo bass guitar music)
First person you thought might have been A on PLL.
Honestly, I thought it was Aria.
I thought for the whole eight seasons
that they were eventually gonna make Aria A.
There were so many things that led up to it.
She was always missing in action, and I was wrong.
I wanted Aria to be A.
I think we all wanted to be the bad guy.
First time you were turned down
for a role you really wanted.
Where do I begin?
I auditioned for High School Musical
for Vanessa Hudgens' part.
Hannah Montana, years before Miley got cast.
It was when I was still living in Tennessee.
I auditioned for it.
I was like
15?
Hairspray, Twilight; I auditioned for Ashley Greene's part.
The list goes on and on.
Me and Ashley Benson used to audition against each other
before Pretty Little Liars all the time.
First kiss; I knew this one was coming.
My first kiss was with a guy named David Mitchell.
He lived down the street from me,
I had a crush on him forever, and we made out at church.
No lie. (kissing noise)
What's up, David?
Okay.
First onscreen kiss was Leighton Meester
in a pilot that never got picked up.
I was 15, got to kiss Leighton.
She's pretty cool.
First show you ever binged.
I think it was Friends.
I want to say I watched Friends from top
to bottom a couple of times now.
First show you'd rewatch yourself in
if you had to right now out of How I Met Your Mother,
American Juniors, or Privileged.
Well, How I Met Your Mother was only two episodes,
so that would be a boring binge.
American Juniors would be hysterical.
I think Privileged.
It was a short-lived show on the CW
about two spoiled twins and their nanny.
But I'm still really close with them,
and it was a really good show.
I think it was just a little before its time.
It didn't really catch on.
Okay, first red carpet experience.
It was for the Bee Movie, if you remember the Bee Movie.
I felt so cool that I got invited.
I'd done nothing at the time, but I got invited
to the Bee Movie premiere.
I wanna say I was probably 16.
I did my own hair and makeup.
Remember when we used to wear tunics over jeans?
Well, at least I did.
It was a black tunic over some wide-legged jeans.
Very chic; it was all about the fashion back then.
No, it was really bad, really bad.
But fun experience.
First celebrity crush.
I have a few.
There was Jonathan Taylor Thomas,
Zac Hanson, and Devon Sawa.
Those were the J-14, Tiger Beat days.
First time you ever had coffee.
I wanna say it was at my grandmother's.
She was the one in the family who let me
and my sister get away with everything,
let us wear makeup first, let us watch R-rated movies first.
Oh, she let me and my sister watch the original Exorcist
at a abnormally young age.
We were like seven years old,
and no kids should be watching that.
But I did.
But I think that's what sparked my love of horror films
'cause she let me what all of them really young.
First big purchase as a celebrity.
I wanna say it was my first car.
I got a Prius, a Toyota Prius.
I loved that car.
First makeup/fashion moment you really regretted.
The pencil-thin surprised eyebrow look.
(shocked gasp)
And luckily, they've grown in.
I was like, Mom, why'd you let me do that?
(crew member chuckles) Yikes.
First time you saw yourself in a mag, magazine.
I wanna say maybe it was one of those Us Weekly,
the stars, they're just like us.
Just ridiculous 'cause yeah, we are.
It was in one of the gossipy magazines,
and I was like, I've made it.
Now I try to avoid being in those. (laughs)
First apartment.
It was apartment across from The Grove in LA,
and I lived with Ashley Newbrough
who played my sister on Privileged.
I had just bought my Prius, so a lot
of my firsts happen around that time.
Lots of bad decisions made in that apartment,
but it was good, good times.
Like healthy bad decisions, not like anything weird.
First time you sang in public.
Eight years old, I sang Tomorrow from Annie.
I was mortified, I was so nervous.
It was like a little singing competition in Tennessee.
I won, sold the trophy somewhere.
First memory you have from working on PLL.
We were shooting the pilot, it was in Vancouver,
and it was the dead of winter,
and we had very minimal clothing on.
Our mouths were numb, and we were just trying
to heat up our mouths so we could actually say the words.
I think it was the scene where the body's being pulled out
at the end, like the very last scene of the pilot.
For some reason, that is my only memory of back then.
First PLL costar you'd call to hang with right now.
Aww, probably Janel; I love Janel Parrish.
But I love 'em all, they're all good peeps.
First cellular phone.
The Nokia, the one where you could play Snake,
and you could change out the face plates.
It was a hand me down from my sister.
It didn't even work, and I just carried around
'cause I thought it was super cool.
First time someone came up to you
in public and did the PLL whisper.
I'll just tell the story about how that came about,
and it was the first time anyone did it to me.
We were at a photo shoot, 12-hour day, we were exhausted.
And the photographer was like, Lucy, shoosh the camera.
And it was the last frame.
It was literally the last photo.
So I guess that counts as an answer to the question,
and they ended up using it for the poster,
which is what everyone knows.
First time you knew you were famous.
It was when I was living across from The Grove.
So I would walk across, see,
I'm incorporating all the firsts into this.
So I would walk across to The Grove,
and there were posters everywhere,
and that was a really surreal, uncomfortable moment.
But pretty cool.
Okay, last one.
(laughs) First AIM or AOL screen name.
I wanna say it was kickit, kickinit with a K,
K-I-C-K-I-N it with Luc, L-U-C,
and then I think it was my birthday.
Kickinitwithluc1989; I still have it.
Okay, survived talking about my first times with Buzzfeed.
Another first for me is that I have partnered up
with Honey Nut Cheerios for the Good Rewards Program,
and I'm trying to win $100,000 for the ASPCA.
What you can do is you can buy a box
of Honey Nut Cheerios, and you go to beegoodrewards.com,
scan your buzz coin, choose a team,
preferably mine, and help me win money
for the sweet, little animals.
(bright, poppy music)
