that is excting! anya seems like such a doll to work with so i'm sure you will have a blast. everyone raves about how amazing she is. oh? are you able to spill any details about this horror film? is it going to be one of those psychological thrillers, or one of the old school slasher types? i understand what you mean about being type-cast. for the longest time, especially after the 100 i was known as the post apocalyptic girl. don't get me wrong i owe a lot of my career to the 100 and fear the walking dead, but i was tired of the apocalyptic setting and i was thankful to do something new. i'm not working on anything at the moment, but i do have a film that's gonna be released at some point. no official date set, but the film is done.
i've actually got a few things lined up. i've got a tv show coming out with anya taylor-joy at some point and i also did horror film which should come out later this year. i'm not sure how much i'll be in the last season of outer banks, but definitely hustling and working as much as i can. after doing queer, i definitely want to say yes to different projects and not get type-cast as just one thing. what are you working on right now?
that is the cutest reaction. it always feels my heart with so much joy to witness worthy people get the projects they deserve. imagine all of those adorable little girls who will see you and think, "wow! she's just like me, so i can do this too!". to know that you are able to touch a life like that is so beautiful. i had that when i played lexa. so many from the LGBTQ community felt so seen, and i loved that i could be part of that. have you? how far did you make it into the series? if you haven't made it far, then boy are you in for a treat. right? to see where i was two years ago to now is like night and day.
I still remember getting the call and just… freezing. I think I blacked out for like five minutes before I fully processed it. And you're so right, the fact that the Star Wars universe is making room for more women, more people of color, more depth, it makes being part of it feel even more meaningful. I actually started binging FTWD earlier this year. You brought so much grit and heart to that role. I loved it. Isn’t it wild to look back and realize how much we’ve grown since those early days?
alycia: i feel like anyone who would give you shit given how busy you are isn't much of a friend. we are all adults which means we should be able to handle adult schedules. once you reach a certain age you can't expect your friends to drop their entire lives just to hang out. we all have responsibilities, and you have one of the biggest ones of all now. so yeah...thanks for coming to my ted talk: adulting edition. alycia: i love that. i think travel is definitely the best form of schooling. if i have kids one day i would love to home school them and just fly them around the world. teach them multiple languages, let them taste authentic food from around the world. it would be such a dream to give my children that life. shut up! i'm gonna need you to stop all of this australia slander before i express ship a huntsman to your door. 🤣 or a kangaroo telegram. alycia: listen buddy....i tried the whole epcot thing and halfway through i was so drunk i had no idea what century i was in. i can't act a fool at a kids park. alycia: i would have never guessed you were quiet and shy. nothing about you oozes that anymore, but i can see how that would bring us both to where we wanted to be. do you think your daughter is more like you, or is she more out going? alycia: auntie alycia is definitely ready for babysitting duties. just say the word and i am there. i'll have her saying 'oh naur' in no time. 🤣
abel: See? Probably why it works out. You're not giving me shit, and I ain't gonna give you shit either—just a fun friendship with bonus points, just how I like it. abel: I should. Gonna try to add a pit stop or two during my european leg of the tour. I want Aya to travel, best schooling she can attend in my opinion, so I’m gonna make sure to space out the concerts more. LMAO australia might be even worse tho… six hours of flying and I'm still in the damn country?? while in europe you would've flown three of em already abel: but let's be honest, nothing beat epcot for fast travel. have you ever tried?? abel: Now I can see that. I was the damn opposite—shy, introverted, making quiet plans for myself… and look where that got me. two opposite ways still lead us to the same path of greatness abel: Sure, you know I’d never say no to free babysitting LMAO plus that’d be a nice chance for you to finally meet her.
i would hope so. then again it took the longest time for me to convince my dad to get rid of his iphone 5. he was stuck to that thing like glue. this is why you are among one of the very few artist in this world who deserve to be famous. you care about everyone above the money and the ticket sales, and it definitely shows. i wish there was a way to group everyone into the same room. i know people wouldn't mind standing shoulder to shoulder for a chance to watch you perform. stop— you are so cute! to have a hug from the legend herself would cure all of my seasonal depression. that is so kind of you. i would definitely love to bring her along, and i'm sure she'd more than thankful to be anywhere. she's not a hard woman to please, even if she does hate crowds. i knew you were cool, and the fact that you love jazz and blues just cements that. i grew up on it too, mainly because of my dad, so he'd be pretty excited to know that others feel the same way. he's convinced that old school is dead, but it's very much alive, and you can see it in a lot of newer music these days. wait until he finds out you know of his band. my apologies in advance if he tries to persuade you to let them open for you. tell me about it. the 80's was such a great era, and i'm so sad i wasn't born during that time.
Thankfully, I think most of us are beyond the age of 3G in the so-called free world. It's hard to say what is and isn't happening beyond closed doors, what with the amount of NDAs that we all have to sign, but hopefully we'll turn a corner where people feel they're being treated more fairly in the ticket queue. I wish I could fit all of my little monsters into the one room, arena, stadium – whatever. !!!!! Oh my goodness, that's so exciting. Let me know if it happens and we can finally hug in person and you can let me know if the show lives up to the hype. If your mom isn't big on crowds, we can definitely make sure you're in a non-crowded area, lovely. Blues! I love it, and I love old school. A lot of people don't believe that but I grew up loving jazz, myself, although really I loved all music. Oh, Cosmic Spice? What a great name. You know, I think the '80s might have been our best era of music. I can't wait to meet him! All of them, honestly.
😍
your voice — i have been such a huge fan of yours way before we ever met in person. your voice has always been so calming, and the talent you have is unmatched. you put so much heart and soul into every note, and you never miss a single one. your kindness — you are easily one of the sweetest people i know. you may be a little cheeky at times, but you are the first one ready and willing to help a friend in need, and that's such a beautiful thing. this world lacks kindness on every corner, but you never stop spreading kindness to those around you. fatherhood — seeing you love and care for your child is very admirable and beautiful. you have taken on this life changing challenge so beautifully, and your child is very lucky to have you as their father. keep up the good work, you are doing a wonderful job.
alycia: does both count? alycia: i saw the one pop up on my memories and then it took me right to the folder i have on my phone. i think i have more photos of you than i do of myself. not that i'm complaining because i'd much rather look at you. alycia: i was about to ask if it would be too bold of me to show up. i have only been to prague a handful of times, and seeing the sights with you sounds a lot more fun. i can be on the next flight out in the morning?
Jamie: Hello, darling. Jamie: So you've got me wondering, are you looking at photos of us or just of me? Either way, I miss you too. It has been a while since we've seen each other last and I'm all for changing that. Jamie: I'm currently in Prague. I've got a convention at the end of the week and figured I'd come early to see the sites. You're more than welcome to come see the sites with me, love.
i have, but i never get tired of hearing them! it's a huge accomplishment for me career wise, and i'm happy to ride the high of this news for as long as i can. thank you so much. i never in my wildest dreams thought that i'd be part of such a huge franchise, and to be part of a film series i grew up watching? legendary. i'll be honest i feel like i've won the life lottery right now. i have zero complaints. i have a great job, a great significant other. i swear things are going so well i'm waiting for the shoe to drop and something to go wrong.
I'm sure you've been getting a lot of congratulations for getting the Godzilla x Kong part, but here's me offering mine! That's so wonderful, and I just know you're going to do an amazing job. Plus, I love the Monsterverse and can't wait to see what they do with the next installment. I feel like you're probably riding a massive high with that right now, and nothing else can beat that, right? But I'm still curious if there is anything else exciting that's going on in your life right now? My life is slightly stale, so I'm just trying to live vicariously through others. @alyvas
alycia: likewise. i feel like working on a new album is special update worthy. i bet all the fans are super excited about that after you've all sort of done your own thing for a while. i'm sure it's gonna be amazing, and i can't wait to hear whatever you guys cook up. not a whole lot on my end. i've just been a busy little bee work wise. i think the newest, biggest news i've gotten so far is that i've been cast in the new godzilla vs. kong film.
luke: aye, good to hear from you. i'm good and the family is good. don't really have any special updates except that i'm working on the next 5SOS album. should be dropping that sometime in the later year/next year. what about you? what's happening in your world?
alycia: i've been the worst not checking in, but i wanted to see how you and the family were doing? i bet that little bundle of joy you have is growing like a weed. how have you been? catch me up on everything. @luhmmings
