  • You're so used to walking out and greeting everyone.

  • There was no one over there and yet you

  • waved to people over there.

  • I wave everywhere.

  • You just walked out waving in different directions

  • because you're a big star now, you're famous.

  • What do the people at school think?

  • I mean, after I got back from school, my friends

  • and the local TV reporters were like, "Did she

  • give you a million dollars?"

  • I was like, "No, I didn't get a million dollars.

  • But I got something better, I got the chance to meet you."

  • Am I expected to give people a million dollars?

  • Why is--

  • I don't know, I don't know where they got that from either.

  • I don't either.

  • I don't know why I'm supposed to give everybody

  • a million dollars.

  • All right, so there was a big star here when you were here,

  • and then he requested to be interviewed by you.

  • And were you surprised?

  • I was very surprised.

  • I was star struck.

  • After the interview, that actor, which

  • I'm not going to reveal yet, he was just so casual

  • about being him.

  • And I was just like, "Why is he so casual about it?"

  • So it was very exciting.

  • Yeah, he's casual about being him.

  • He's used to being him.

  • He's him every day.

  • So let's take a look at him.

  • Wow, two cameras.

  • Have you ever done an interview with two cameras?

  • Not two camera interview just yet, so this is my first.

  • and she brings such great energy to the show.

  • It's really fun and easy.

  • So what does-- your new movie is called Ad Astra.

  • What does that mean?

  • Ad Astra is the motto for NASA.

  • Ad astra means, to the stars.

  • So the full motto is, through hardship, to the stars.

  • The movie is about space.

  • Have you had the chance to travel to the moon,

  • would you do it?

  • I think I would.

  • What about you?

  • I don't know.

  • I don't know.

  • I'm going to have to be in talks with NASA about that.

  • I wouldn't do it.

  • I mean, I want to see what the viewers think.

  • Ah, I see.

  • So if they want me to go to space, I'll go to space.

  • I want to know, I want to know what my odds are,

  • I want to know safety issues, I want to know comfort,

  • discomfort because I imagine the first few flights are not

  • going to be too luxurious.

  • Exactly.

  • You have to develop that stuff over time.

  • Right, right.

  • What was it like wearing that spacesuit in the movie?

  • How'd you feel about that?

  • Have you ever put on a snowmobile suit

  • or like snowboarding suit?

  • Well, I live in Ohio so trust me, my Ohioans,

  • fellow Ohioans can attest to this,

  • I will be wearing snow pants, snow boots, the thickest jacket

  • you'll ever see in your life, and that's pretty much it

  • for me.

  • OK.

  • It's like that, only put a Glad garbage bag on your body

  • first before you get in the suit,

  • and then go into the sweltering heat of today.

  • Oh wow.

  • I'm 11.

  • When you were my age, what did you

  • want to be when you grew up?

  • What you wanted to be when you grew up?

  • That's a really good question.

  • You know, I wanted to build homes.

  • So I was thinking about building.

  • And what kind of made you like building?

  • What were some of the things about that that you liked?

  • You know, I don't know.

  • It was one of those natural things I just--

  • I liked how I was really affected

  • by a room and a building, and how

  • it could affect your feelings, and the way different people

  • lived, and just the idea of construction.

  • It was all fascinating to me.

  • So I'm from Toledo, Ohio, proud Toledoian.

  • Have you ever been there?

  • I have never been to Toledo, Ohio.

  • I am from Springfield, Missouri by way of Shawnee, Oklahoma.

  • And I am also proud of both.

  • So I'm just going to do a quick recommendation

  • if you do ever visit Toledo.

  • OK, where do I go?

  • So you need to go to a Walleye game, go fish.

  • You need to go to a Mud Hens baseball game.

  • Let me tell you, we love our Hens, our hometown Hens.

  • And you got to visit Promenade Park, great place by the way.

  • What's going on in Promenade park?

  • Oh, yeah.

  • We have summer concert series and I'm going to plug that.

  • The summer concert series, we've had people like Diana Ross,

  • famous country singers, you're going to love it there.

  • That sounds amazing.

  • Oh, yeah.

  • There's variety.

  • And number two, Toledo is very diverse,

  • you're going to love it there.

  • There's a diverse group of people,

  • and all the people there are just great people

  • and really, they're just all awesome people.

  • I'm going to start with you, and one question.

  • Serious question.

  • You ready?

  • How you feeling about the Browns this year?

  • Honestly, I don't know anything about sports.

  • Like my brother always tries to tell me about sports,

  • this is where that knowledge would actually be--

  • But you just told me the Mud Hens.

  • Well honestly, I don't really know how

  • they've been doing this season.

  • I know they've been doing, you know, they're doing great.

  • So you know, I was gonna say they're doing pretty good.

  • to be a formidable team this year with Baker Mayfield.
