As previously mentioned, Alexander Ludwig and AnnaSophia Robb were on "The Bonnie Hunt Show." Below is a transcript of the interview:
Bonnie: Welcome to the show! AnnaSophia: Thank you. Bonnie: You know, we had Garry Marshall here a couple of days ago. AnnaSophia: I know, he was on set, and he was so great. Alexander: Oh, he's fantastic, isn't he? Bonnie: Was he so great to work with you guys? Alexander: Ah, amazing. AnnaSophia: Oh my gosh, yes. He was- every time he walked on set he just brought such life, and he was so funny in the scenes. Bonnie: Yeah, he- he's a legend! You know, I grew up with watching everything he created: you know, different TV shows and movies and- AnnaSophia: Yeah. Bonnie: So that's your- [you're] lucky to have the opportunity to work with him. AnnaSophia: I know; we're so honoured. Bonnie: And he spoke very highly of both of you and how talented you are. Alexander: Thank you. AnnaSophia: Aww... (thanks.) Bonnie: So are you having fun? AnnaSophia: Yes! We are having so much fun! It's- it's so exciting to see our- like our billboards on Santa Monica and all over the city it's just- it's unbelievable! Bonnie: It- that must be something, because those- I've seen the billboards; they're huge! And you guys are up there with The Rock? AnnaSophia: I know, it- it's so cool, and we did- just like- I can't believe this is real! We see them and then Dwayne's face and it's- we just- it's a kill! Alexander: A huge adrenaline rush when you have a friend call you and say, "Alexander! Your face is three stories high! Oh my god!" and I'm like, "Holy [censored]! This is amazing!" Oh! I don't know if I can say that... Bonnie: You can- you can say that. Alexander: Okay. Bonnie: That was okay. AnnaSophia: [Laughs] (You can't.) Bonnie: I mean, you're excited. And you filmed in Las Vegas, right? AnnaSophia: Yes. Alexander: Yeah. Bonnie: So were your folks there and everything? AnnaSophia: No, we were all by ourselves. Yes. Alexander: Yep. College fund? Gone; I am so sorry Dad. Bonnie: You gambled away the college fund? Alexander: Yeah. AnnaSophia: Not- Bonnie: So you're fifteen and sixteen years old, right? Correct? Alexander: Yeah. Bonnie: Do either of you have your driver- You don't have your driver's license yet- Alexander: I do. Bonnie: You- you got it that fast? Alexander: Yes, actually I- I got my license six months before all my friends in Vancouver, because in L.A. you can get your license, uh, before everyone else in Vancouver, so I was the- I was the man! I was the man for six months! Yeah, it was pretty cool. Bonnie: I bet! You got to take advantage of those motives. Alexander: Yeah, absolutely. Bonnie: Did you- are you taking the driver's exam? Are you anxious to do that? AnnaSophia: I- I want to do it, and I've been so busy with school and the press I haven't had time, but I just, I can't wait to get my license. I'm so excited, and I'm just- Bonnie: So busy with school and the press. AnnaSophia: I know... Bonnie: Well, what did you guys do in Vegas when you're fifteen and sixteen? You can't really- well, you don't really want to do all that stuff anyway... AnnaSophia: No. Alexander: No. Bonnie: No. AnnaSophia: We didn't want to, and uh, we had a good time, but um, we- we pulled a couple [of] pranks while we were out there. We uh- Alexander's cousin was in town. Alexander: Yes. AnnaSophia: And so we pulled out the video camera and got a hold of some, uh, fake money, and we- Alexander: Motion picture money. Yes. AnnaSophia: Yeah, and- Bonnie: Oh! The play-money! The prop! AnnaSophia: The play-money, exactly. And uh, and we'd throw it out on the street, and film it, and so like Alexander, he ran by one time with wads full of cash, and like bumped into somebody and dropped some and kept running, like we had --you know-- robbed a bank or something, and he- and he just- and people were going crazy, and- Alexander: They would go nuts. Bonnie: I'm sure, because the prop money looks so authentic AnnaSophia: Oh yeah. Bonnie: You guys, could ha- AnnaSophia: No, I know! Alexander: I think people went to jail for that! Uh-oh! AnnaSophia: No, it was- we were- we had fun though. Alexander: Oh [censored! Bonnie: Do you drink coffee? Alexander: No! [Laughs and short pause] Alexander: Uh, yeah. AnnaSophia: But it- And was so surprising to see some of these people when they were like --you know-- they sometimes --and we tried all sorts different things-- and some of them would see us walk off, and they wouldn't even like run after us! Bonnie: Say, "Hey, wait a minute, you dropped some money." AnnaSophia: No... Bonnie: Oh that's too bad. AnnaSophia: I couldn't believe it! Alexander: We got it on tape, so it was great. AnnaSophia: Yeah, well. [Gives thumbs up] Alexander: But no, you couldn't believe it. Bonnie: Well, you know, it's tough economic times. Well, you know what I mean, people are- AnnaSophia: Yeah. Bonnie (cont'd): some people are a little desperate right now. I mean, you guys are making a big living; not a lot of people are. Did you start acting- at a really young age, right? You were- AnnaSophia: Yeah! Bonnie (cont'd): eight or nine years old. AnnaSohpia: Well, we were both actually nine year old, um, when I started, I uh, was in Denver, and my mom- um, I was begging for her to find me an agent, and then- Bonnie: Wait a minute! How does that happen though. I wonder how that happens. Like, how does a little kid say, "Mom, I want an agent." Like, how did you know about it? AnnaSophia: I asked her one day, I said, "How do you-" "How do you-" "How do people get into movies? How do they go on TV?" She was like, "Well, I think they get agents or something." And uh, and so she found me one, and uh, I started taking the acting class, and then, there was a showcase in L.A.; agents [and] managers came out, and then I went out to L.A., and started auditioning. Bonnie: Wow! So did your whole family come out? AnnaSohpia: No, it was just my mom at first, and then um, I'm- I'm an only child, so my dad would come out periodically, and my dog too. Bonnie: Well, of course, you got to include the dog too. I heard you were holding the little puppies back there. [Note: Puppies for adoption was also a feature of "The Bonnie Hunt Show" on this day.] AnnaSophia: Yes! Alexander: Aww man, they were so cute. AnnaSohpia: They were so cute! You're so lucky. We were just petting them and holding them! I love dogs. Bonnie: Maybe you can ask Mom if you can have another dog. AnnaSophia: Yeah... Bonnie: If you have the time. Alexander: [To AnnaSophia.] I bet you your dog would rip it to shreds. You're dog's psychotic! Oh my god! Bonnie: Oh really? AnnaSophia: Dog crazy. Bonnie: Dog's in therapy? AnnaSophia: (An animal.) Alexander: It was hilarious! Every time the P.A. --Toussaint was his name, he's hilarious-- every time he would knock on Sophia's trailer door, Bella would attack him! It was the funniest thing I've seen in my life! AnnaSophia: She- she got you soon after a while. [Makes mock attack noise.] No, she's better now. She- she's homesick. Yeah... Bonnie: Alexander, you've been acting since you were a kid as well, right? Alexander: Yeah, yes. Good times. Bonnie: You seem to really enjoy it. Alexander: Oh, I love it. Uh, um, ever since I was a kid I- I've always loved to perform, and same thing sort of with AnnaSophia, ever since I was nine I- I- I'd beg my parents could I- I really want to get in this, and they were always like, you know, being parents and like a little worried about me getting- getting involved, because you know kids can get really warped in the whole stereotypical Hollywood stuff, and- Bonnie: Yeah, you're right. Alexander (cont'd): and- AnnaSophia: Like he has. Alexander: Like he has. Where's my water?! AnnaSophia: [Pointing at Alexander's water on the table in front of them.] It's right there. Bonnie: Wow, he's so demanding. Alexander: I'm an idiot! It's right here. It's perfect. Thank you. Oh [censored]! Bonnie: Alright, I have to have you guys back, because we don't have enough time to keep talking, and I- I think you're wonderful. Alexander: (Yes.) AnnaSophia: Thank you! Bonnie: And I know "Race to Witch Mountain" is going to be fantastic because you're involved, and the great Garry Marshall is involved. AnnaSophia: Aww, thank you.
How are ye old fellas? :b
