Street sits down for a round table interview with She's The Man stars Amanda Bynes, Robert Hoffman, Laura Ramsey and Channing Tatum.
Any hookups on the set? Intercast?
Robert Hoffman: No.
Laura Ramsey: I have a boyfriend, but I don't know anyone else who did. [She points at Rob, to indicate he had an on-set relationship]
RH: That's a line you just don't cross. It's just a rule of thumb that you just don't break. It can happen sometimes, but for a lot of us this was our first major project. Not that there wasn't feelings and flirtations and that type of stuff, but everyone knew to be cautious because it could go sour.
What inspired you to get involved with acting?
Amanda Bynes: I grew up watching my bro and sis in plays. Like on car trips I'd do their lines. I would just sit there and watch rehearsals and everything. I just channeled it into acting.
Channing Tatum: Goonies. I just thought, this is cool and I took it to heart. I've always loved Paul Newman, Jackie Gleason, and Brando, but this was later on when I realized what acting was.
What movies do you like?
AB: Father of the Bride, Princess Bride ... [laughs] they all have similar titles. I love Jim Carey. I've always been a big fan, like Ace Ventura, it was the funniest thing I'd ever seen, at the time.
What was the most interesting thing that happened on set?
CT: Our director would run around the set with a helmet for no reason at all. He would just act crazy and get us crazy and that's how fun things would happen.
AB: He doesn't take himself seriously. Who would run around wearing a helmet?
CT: It got us to be silly and goofy, and we forgot about being cool and precise, and that's how good stuff came out.
[To Amanda Bynes] Since All That and The Amanda Show were filmed during your childhood do you feel like you missed out on any childhood stuff?
AB: They always ask me that. I feel like I had a great childhood because I could still be in school and I met so many people I would have otherwise never met. I was the happiest kid ever, happier than I am now, because now I have normal problems and have to deal with stuff.
A lot of girls have eating disorders, and since this is a high school movie, do you have any advice for people on how to deal with eating disorders?
AB: I can't speak for it because I don't have one, and I can't speak for girls who do. But I think that its important to be happy with yourself ... you know, I mean it's so hard to say that to someone ... who am I to give advice to anyone about that?
CT: I'm not attracted to like tall skinny models. The only reason we have skinny models is so the clothes look better on them. That's why.
AB: I personally don't find it attractive.
Are you guys working on any upcoming projects?
RH: Wild 'N Out season 2, hopefully we'll have another season.
LR: I have a movie coming out in September called the The Covenant. It's really cool, a thriller, a crazy movie about guys with special powers. Like a fantasy with really hot young guys in it.
