- Hey guys I'm Katie Stevens.
- I'm Aisha Dee.
- And I'm Meghann Fahy.
- And we are from
- [All] The Bold Type.
- And we are gonna be answering our firsts.
- Yeah.
- I'm very scared.
(upbeat music)
- First celebrity crush.
(whistling sound)
- Lance Bass.
You know?
- But I get it.
- Is it a problem that I don't know who Lance Bass is?
- Yes. - Yes, we can't use this.
That's so offensive.
- Who's Lance Bass?
- NSYNC. - NYSNC's best member.
- She is not in sync.
- Sorry Lance.
Okay, what's yours?
- Mine is Leonardo DiCaprio.
I had a real awakening watching the Romeo and Juliet with
him and Claire Danes, that scene in the pool.
- Such a good movie. - So good.
- Who was your first celebrity crush?
- I don't know, maybe it was a cartoon.
- Weird, but go with it.
- I feel like it was John Snow.
- Oh, well then.
- Pocahontas.
- No that's not -
- I was like, Jon Snow?
- Isn't it?
- John Smith!
First pice of advice you'd give someone whose trying to
become an actor?
And if there's one thing I've learned its that
you never know what's gonna lead you to what.
So try everything.
Within reason, not compromising your morals.
- Yeah. - You know?
- I would say, when you feel like giving up don't, because
that's normally when somethings gonna happen for you,
is when you feel like you need to quit.
- If there's anything else in the world that you
also feel passionate about, make sure
you're doing that as well.
- As well, yes, in addition to.
- 'cause you don't know, just go wind is blowing you,
because you never know what passion its gonna lead you into.
- You can't out all your eggs in one basket.
The first role you auditioned for they you really wanted but
you didn't get?
- Mine was like some random indie film that I never saw.
- That ended up being Twilight.
- Oh I know what mine was.
I auditioned for a role on Nashville and
I got really far on it, like down to me and
the other person, and the other person got it.
And I was devastated and I remember it was the first time in
a really long time that I cried,
like when you're a kid and you can't catch your breath.
- Aww.
- That's so sad.
- 'Cause it was like, right at my fingertips and it was
the first thing in three years going right.
And then it didn't.
- It just feels so personal you know?
- But then, two weeks later I booked Faking It,
which was why I didn't get that.
- Booked it.
(crash)
- Oh!
- I don't know if I've ever told you guys this, but
my first ever job, The Saddle Club, I got it and
then two weeks before filming they told me I didn't have it.
- What?
- Yeah.
- Like they fired you and then they rehired you?
- Yeah they like called, being like we have to hire
a Canadian, like so sorry and I was.
- In Australia, isn't that expensive?
- To like a six year old?
- Obviously it worked out, but they ended up
writing a character for me.
- First friend made in the industry?
Mine would technically be
the people that I did American Idol with.
- The girl who I understudied in the Broadway show that
I started out, that was my first job.
Jen Damiano's her name.
- I lived in a house with two of the girls from
The Saddle Club.
And we would all sleep in the same bed most nights.
And our chaperon would come in and she'd be like,
you guys can't sleep in the same bed, you
have to be up at six AM, and we'd be like.
- That's sweet.
- That's what being twelve is.
- Yeah, we're still super tight.
Ari and Mani.
- First piece of advice you remember getting from
a women's magazine?
- There was something called Dolly Mag in Australia, and
there was like Dolly Doctor.
And people would write in to Dolly Doctor and it was
like a sealed section and it was like, people would
ask about sex and stuff.
But I don't remember any specific advice from there,
I guess I wasn't really paying much attention.
- I remember getting advice to not sleep in a bra.
- To spray perfume on your wrists before you go to sleep,
because it just like makes you feel sexy, you know?
- I've never done that.
- Like a cute little self-care thing.
- Cute.
- Yeah, try it.
- First thing you do when you have time off.
Sleep.
- Sleep and lay on the couch with my dog, and
watch everything on Netflix.
- And travel.
- Ooh, first impressions of each other?
- My first impression of Katie was that she was
very put together in a way that was impressive to me.
You know, she had like cute clothes and like,
her make up was really cute.
And that's still true about her too.
She's always like looking great.
- If you're like, does anyone have a Q-tip, she's like, yes.
- I'm like Mary Poppins.
She was just talking about how she's hungry and I was like,
I have a Lara Bar and nuts and water.
Yeah, I think I was intimidated because you were both
really beautiful and I was also intimidated because they had
met each other before I got to meet them.
And I was like, oh my God, what if they're best friends?
Will they like me?
- First job.
Well, I baby sat a lot in high school and then
I worked for my dad's company in like the stock room.
Sort of, assembling things and sautering wire.
It was very cool.
- On my sixteenth birthday my parents took me to dinner at
this restaurant and at the end of dinner with the cheque,
they made the manager bring over a application for a job.
So I applied for the job on Wednesday, which was my birthday
and had my first day of work as a Bus girl at
a restaurant on Friday.
- That's amazing.
- They were like happy sixteenth birthday, here
you're getting a job.
- I mean, The Saddle Club was my first job, but
I was very young.
But before that I guess I had worked in my
Grandpa's fish and chip shop.
- That's so cute.
- That's so cute, I want fish and chips.
- I was just thinking that.
- We would hide in the freezer.
Me and my uncles and aunties, we would hide in the freezer.
- Sounds like a horror movie!
- And wait for someone to open the door to get like an
orange juice or whatever and be like Roar!
- First memory from filming The Bold Type pilot?
I know my first full day, I just had all day with Nicole.
But I don't remember what we had the next day.
- I mean I think one of the nights that sticks out most
to me from filming the pilot is the night that we shot in
the subway in our fancy dresses.
- Oh yeah.
- Until the wee hours of the morning.
- It was like five AM.
- In really, really high heels hat we could not take off.
My shoes were actually made of chains.
- I thought your feet were gonna fall off.
- Yeah.
- I vividly remember the scene where you're like,
going into the subway.
- And its not really a subway.
- And it wasn't really a subway, so she had to like
fake that she was like walking down the stairs.
- But like really angry, like.
- Yeah, like storm off and it was hard because we were
all supposed to be like no, come back!
And she just like, it was just too funny.
- It was great.
- First celebrity you ever met.
Technically when I was three years old I met Bob Hope but
I don't remember it.
There's a photo of it.
Which is amazing.
When I was on American Idol we were shooting at CVS and
I had to go in earlier than everybody else because I was
under age and I still had to go to school.
And my teacher goes, guys, Matthew Mcconaughey just
walked into that bathroom.
And I literally went.
- Followed him in?
- No, I booked it down the hallway and jokingly was like,
hey everybody act natural, and I put my arm up against the
wall like this and he walked out in that exact moment and
I was like, hi!
But he was so beautiful.
- I bet.
- I usually run away when I see them.
- Its like very rare that Aisha will be like,
I'm a big fan.
- No I don't do it.
I did actually a few weeks ago, Jay-Z walked past me and
I saw his hair and I was like, oh you're doing great.
Because you know, for a while I wasn't sure about the hair,
I was like what are you doing with your hair?
And now I think its great, he's thriving, I was
so proud of him, I didn't say hi but I did like,
admire his hair from a few feet away.
- I don't remember the very first celebrity that I met but
I do remember meeting Taylor Swift before she was an icon.
I mean this was truly the beginning of her career.
And she was like, I'm gonna be signing autographs and
meeting people out front, come say hi.
No one was even waiting in line to meet her.
I like walked up with my mom and she was there with her mom.
She had some award though, at that point.
Because her mom like handed it to me, like
do you wanna hold it?
And I was like, okay!
She was so lovely, she hugged me and she was like,
oh my god you're so beautiful and I was like.
First embarrassing moment on set?
- I know yours.
- You know mine?
- I also know yours.
- You do?
- In the middle of a scene. - It was the day I cried.
- No, you can't tell that story!
And anyway, that's not the first embarrassing one.
I peed my pants on stage once, that was really embarrassing.
- We were doing a scene where we all have to
bump into each other and juice goes everywhere and
we did it like ten times and I remember right before we
did the last time, I was like, I'm gonna get hurt.
Like we're in heels, running and
like the floor was wet and stuff and sure enough,
I slipped and fell and tried to laugh it off but then
started crying because I was so embarrassed.
And also I was in pain 'cause it hurt.
- You really did go down hard.
- And then they used that footage.
- They didn't use footage of you on the floor.
- Well they didn't use footage of me on the floor but
you see me going down, yeah.
- I don't think I've ever done anything embarrassing,
I think I'm perfect all the time.
No, honestly I leave set most days and feel like
a shade of embarrassment.
- Let me give you a gift, really quick.
- Go ahead.
- Go YouTube Aisha Dee, The Saddle Club.
- Please do that.
- That's my gift.
