Lily james

“Wow Lily and here I thought we were friends.” Zac teased. “I’m kidding, you can share all the photos you want from set.” He shrugged. “Thank you, it feels really good and I hope I can continue to do that show for as long as possible.”

“We are only friends on Wednesdays,” Lily jokes with a chuckle. “I honestly didn’t take many pictures. But I did get a nice pic of you for social media. My agent keeps telling me to take photos for when I can use during promotion time,” Lily says shaking her head. “I won’t be posting it, don’t worry,” She smiles with a chuckle. “That’s so good to hear. Season two is focused on Australia right?”

“The cheesy romantic ones where everything is good at the end, but I also love the drama filled shows too.”

“Speaking of cheesy romantic! I actually just watched that Christmas movie with Lindsay Lohan. It just launched on Netflix. It was actually pretty cute. I know it’s not Christmas yet, but I mean it’s cute, romantic and just the right kind of cheesy if you're in the mood.” Lily says with a smile. “Drama is great too. Honestly, I pretty much will watch anything if it sounds decent enough.” She chuckles. “What’s River’s favorite thing to watch that drives you crazy?” Lil asked as she started placing the cookie dough on the cookie sheets.

Chrissy smiled as she heard her. “I do too. I really can’t wait to see it. I hope I’m back here by Christmas. We finish tour December nineteenth.” She explained. “I don’t know. It will be cool though.” Chrissy replied, laughing softly. “We’re almost done putting up the EP together, just finishing up bits and pieces.”

“I loved you in Mama Mia! You did amazing!” Sarah said with a smile. “I think you have a really great voice. Thank you so much Lily. That means a lot.” Shaking her head, she looked at her friend. “I haven’t seen it yet. If you want, we can watch it together. I can use a watching buddy.”

“We actually just got a title!  It’s called ‘Good Side of a Bad Man’.  It follows the story of Charles “Pretty Boy” Floyd, who grew up as a poor farmer to become one of the most notorious criminals of the Depression era.  I play Ruby, Charles’s wife.” Ashley beamed.  She was really excited about the new project.  “I’m excited for people to experience it.  I had so much fun creating it.  Went through many different mixtures before I found the perfect one.  I have a sample of it in my room if you want a sneak peak.”

“Now, that’s an interesting movie title,” Lily says, curious about the movie. Hearing Ashley describe it, she was intrigued,” Wow, that actually sounds interesting. I can’t wait to see it when it’s released. Did you already filming or are you going to be filming it soon? I have to say, I think all your movie roles after Pretty Little Liars have been interesting. I love how you’ve tested waters. Private Property by the way was quite the movie. Not what I was expecting, either.” Listening intently, Lily smiles at Ashley, “I’d love to try a sample if it’s ok. Honestly, it sounds like a lot of fun to make a perfume. Do you think this is something you will continue to do down the line, or will you like venture into clothes or something else?” 

“The second season of Down to Earth is on Netflix now.” Zac announced to his house mates with a smile. “And please, ignore my current hair style, it’s for a movie called Iron Claw.” ​

“So...does that mean I can’t share the photo from set today? I mean, your hair was just all over the place.” She jokes with a chuckle. “Congrats on season 2 Zac. How does it feel?”

“Thank you so much Lily. Would you ever make a documentary?” Selena asked. “Oh I guess things with Matt and I are good. We did have a talk. I am very excited for Thanksgiving. My mom and grandparents asked if I was gonna cook for everyone and I laughed. Not to be rude but because I am not that skilled in the kitchen.” She shrugged. “How about you? How are things with Sebastian? Got any wedding details you wanna share?”

Lily smiles at her friend and thanks her, “I honestly love to make a documentary, but it wouldn’t be about my life because it’s kind of boring,” She laughs with a laugh. “I’d love to make something with a deep meaning like what you did. I’d like to make something for people to feel and understand something that’s important to me. What you did with your documentary, was just so empowering. Like I had no idea all you went through, and it was just...I was blown away." She admits. Lily chuckles at the cooking comment."Oh come on Sel. We all know you are an alright cook." Lil teased with a smile. "I'm excited for Friendsgiving. Though, I'm not sure Seb and I will be here because his mom mentioned having us over, but we will see." Lily tucks a strand of hair behind her ears. "We actually just started planning. I've been busy filming "Iron Claw" so, we really haven't had the chance to talk about it yet. We are considering dates and where though now. I kind of would love to do a destination wedding, but I’m not sure because I also would like to do what Seb would like to do.”

“We’re opening for Pierce The Veil.” Chrissy said. “I’m excited to see how the mansion is going to be decorated.” She listened to her friend, before her cheeks began turning red. “No. He won’t be featuring.” She replied with a small laugh. “That sounds amazing. I’ve been to London during the holiday season and it’s beautifully decorated. Which reminds me, I have to start my holiday shopping.”

“I love Pierce the veil!” Lily exclaims with a smile. “This house decorated during December is absolutely magical. I can’t wait for you to see it. It’s really fun to decorate the house. Yes, London at Christmas is just spectacular.” Lily reminisces with a smile. “I can’t wait to share that with Seb if we decide to go. Sooo...why won’t he be featuring?” she asked teasingly.

“Yeah and it was a ridiculously hard thing to do, actually talking to the dick was a lot harder, but I was trying not to laugh doing that.” Seb admitted with a chuckle and looked at her. “Oh did she? God that’s…you know, that doesn’t surprise me at all. My mom probably has a mini baby photo album in her purse and goes around showing people.” He shook his head. “Our moms are gonna be great friends.” He promised her and nodded. “Well first we need to set a wedding date and pick a venue, right?”

“You looked like you were having a lot of fun with that scene, though," She teased her fiancé with a smile. Lily couldn't help but chuckle and shake her head at Sebastian,"It's a mother thing. Trust me. I'm glad I hid all the family albums the first time you met my mom." She smirks playfully at him. "But in her defense, you were honestly the cutest baby ever. I just wanted to pinch those cute cheeks." She teased, caressing his cheek. "I know, they will," She smiles back at him. Thinking about their wedding, Lily couldn't help but feel the butterflies still fluttering. "We do, yes." Lily begins to think. "Hmm..ok, let's start with a date. We need to make sure, we are both not filming during that month we chose. I'm thinking maybe a spring or winter date? What do you think?"

“It was a great experience to work with him. What you see with him in interviews is the exact same way he portrays himself in real life. Thank you so much, Lily. I did at one point, but I think I’m better sticking to acting. I like having the best of both worlds.”

Lily smiles, listening to her friend. “That makes sense. I feel the same way. I honestly feel like I’m better at acting than singing. Like I loved doing it for Mamma Mia, but like I don’t know. I prefer not to sing because I feel like, my voice isn’t always the best.” She admits with a chuckle. “I can’t wait to see you in the Pitch Perfect Series. It’s going to be amazing, I know it. Has you seen it yet ?”

“Thanks for coming out to lunch with me. I have been dying to try this place.” ​

Lily smiles at her friend, “Of course, I wanted to try this place too. Plus, I haven’t seen you in a while. How have you been, Hol?”

“Oh you should release new music! I’m sure your fans would love it if you did.” Kat said with a smile. “Drinks and food sounds perfect. Do we want to go out or stay here?”

“I’m not a singer,” Lily responds with a laugh. “You should though. Like I remember that one song you did, “Put your graffiti on me” was very catchy.” She admits with a smile. “How about we go out? We need to celebrate you on being the mask singer. We can go to Splashes or Penguin Cafe, Nick’s or The Deck?”

“Thank you, Lily. I love being here.” She said with a smile. “I agree, it is very nice.” At the mention of her husband, her smile got wider. “Wells and I are doing great, thank you. I’m getting ready to promote my new show Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin. It starts streaming on Peacock on November 23rd. I’m very excited for everyone to see it.” 

“That’s wonderful to hear,” Lily smiles. “I can’t wait to watch that! Adam Devine is hilarious. I also love the Pitch Perfect series. It’s amazing you are in it. I love your voice. That song you did with Boyce Avenue awhile ago. Did you ever consider a career in singing?”

“Well that’s what I wanted. I wanted people to know my story and everything I’ve been through and not just the show I put on for fans.” Selena said. “Oh I heard about that and saw some pictures. I’m glad Zac is still a sweetheart. He’s been through a lot too, but like that’s just how it works for Disney stars.” She shrugged. “Oh I couldn’t be one either, that’s way too much.”

“You’ve told it well. I couldn’t believe you’ve gone through all that. I mean, it was just mind-blowing, and honestly I’m so proud of how strong you’ve become through all that.” Lily softly smiles. "Yeah, I hate working out so much, so like obviously that's off the table," she chuckles. "So, how are you and Matt doing? You excited for Thanksgiving?"

“Yeah, it was fun surprising her.  I’m lucky that I get to see my parents all the time since they live in town.  My sister and her husband live in Utah though so the family has been gravitating there for holidays the last few years.”  Ashley’s spirits picked up when asked about her movie.  “It doesn’t have a title yet, but they are calling it the ‘Pretty Boy Biopic’ right now.  I’m so excited for it.  Oh my gosh, you did?  That’s so sweet of you!”

"That's an interesting working title. What's it about? Are you allowed to say?" Lily asked curiously. "I did! I always loved your style, and I'm curious to smell your fragrance. I love supporting my housemates. Everyone is so talented and just deserves the support. How was it, making your first perfume? Was the process fun?"

Chrissy frowned. “I’m going to miss you too. Thankfully, it’s only for a few weeks, so I’ll be back in time for Christmas.” She smiled at her, nodding happily. “That would be great, thanks.” Listening to her friend, she nodded, reaching up to get some outfits planned. She placed the outfits on her bed, looking at the camera again. “I’m really excited for Friendsgiving. There’s opinions! Besides touring? I think getting our new EP ready to be released next year. Other than that, I think my plans for Christmas is going back home to New Jersey and come back around New Years.”

“Who are you touring with? I’m glad you will be here for Christmas. It’s a magical experience. Wait till you see, how the mansion is decorated, it’s really beautiful." Lily smiles listening to her friend, "A new EP?! That's amazing. I feel like all your fans have been eagerly waiting for that. Would this EP also happen to feature a boy you might be crushing on?" She teased her friend. "That sounds amazing! I'm thinking of going back to London for the Holidays but I also obviously want to spend it with Seb's mom too because we talked about it for a bit but I'm still unsure. I need to talk to Seb about it and I guess plan it that way."

“Oh I am always down for a competition, Miss James, but don’t think I’ll go easy on you just because you’re a woman.” Chase joked. “Oh that sounds like you got a lot going on. That’s really awesome. What’s the current project you’re working on, or one project you’re really excited for?”

“If you did, Stokes, I’d be disappointed in you,” Lily jokes with a chuckle. “I really do, and it’s exciting. I’m currently filming a movie called “The Iron Claw” with Zac. It’s a biopic about a wrestler. I’m actually excited for all my projects coming out in the next year and a half. I got “What’s love got to do with it” with Emma Thompson coming to UK cinemas in February. Then I have “The Paris Job” and “ Finalmente l'alba” which don’t have release dates yet. You still got Uglies coming out right?”
