Guys, I'm fighting for my life out here
0:11
Mark it. Who, what, where? What are you dying to know? What's the last thing you saw online
0:17
that made you immediately text a friend? I'm not gonna reveal the answer to that one
0:22
If you could spend a day anywhere in the world, where and who would it be with
0:27
My ideal evening is laying in bed with all of my cats
0:34
So four cats. Probably rotting in bed with my cat. I think we are reclaiming Cat Lady and it's not derogatory anymore
0:44
We've heard you drunkenly DM cast members from reality TV. So what's the juiciest or most fun combo you've had
0:51
I'd say the 90 Day Fiance cast, Darcy of Darcy and Stacey
0:57
I don't know, anyone from Drag Race. It's so shameful that I'm not Bravo
1:01
but I do feel like once I open that door, it's such a slippery slope
1:06
Wait, I've watched Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, I'm so fake, but that's it
1:11
How has your style evolved throughout your 20s? I love like a very classic sort of like
1:17
old Hollywood dressier look. I love a collar, some buttons, very Lexi is sort of my real style
1:24
But like everyday life, I wear like enormous, like a giant shirt and really baggy pants
1:31
What's your current fashion wellness beauty obsession? I love the drowsy eye masks sleeping masks this big like it like almost like a giant pillow for your face and it silk and it so nice If you could steal an item from anyone closet what would it be and why
1:49
F***. Jesus. What's, am I supposed to say like something like really good
1:54
One time I wore this Chanel bag that was vintage and it had little ladybugs on it
1:59
And it was the cutest thing I've ever seen in my life. It's like at like the Chanel headquarters closet
2:04
I would never actually steal it, but I want it. I actually don't know where we are
2:16
Literally don't know if it's gorgeous. Arboretum. Arboretum. Who are some collaborators that have really shaped you creatively
2:27
Every single person I've ever worked with my entire life and career thus far
2:33
has influenced me creatively, positively or negatively. Like I really think like I've learned from just watching everyone around me work
2:45
Has there been a moment on set as a director where you thought I would do this oh wait
2:49
Back up has there been a moment on set as an actor where you thought I would do this differently as a director
2:58
Yeah, probably I try not to like think about that though when I'm acting because then you're you're not focused on your acting
3:04
But then like I'm always wrong like then I'll watch it back and I'm like, oh I know what they were going for
3:09
And so sometimes you don't always know. The worst notes I feel like as an actor to receive from the director is like not a clear note, but just sort of a look of disappointment
3:19
Let do it again Like obviously something wasn working but it not we not like really sure what What a director note from your dad you received early on that has stuck with you Trying to be like loose
3:32
It's not my natural state, so I'm still working on that. But yeah, just trying to be like a little bit more physically relaxed, I think for me
3:43
Is there a popular movie that you'd want to do your own adaptation of
3:47
Every movie that I can think of that I love so much that I'd want to do an adaptation of
3:52
I don't necessarily think that whatever I would do would be better than the original
3:57
I love Gypsy. I love Cabaret, but Cabaret is a perfect movie, so that's what I mean
4:02
Like, I can't redo that. Maybe an original musical or a musical that hasn't been a movie yet
4:09
Not messing around between takes. Get to it. Here are more questions you've been dying to know, and this time they're about euphoria
4:26
Are you satisfied with the end of euphoria? I have only seen the first three episodes, and this season we only got the scripts for our characters
4:37
So I actually don't know the end. I'm right there with you guys
4:43
What's something you've learned about yourself working opposite Zendaya? I don't know if this is something I've learned about myself, but she's such a pro and she's
4:53
so respectful and so on her game 100% of the time. Watching how she conducts herself and how respectful she is of everyone that she works
5:02
with has been like a real honor over the years I don know I look up to that Okay what the craziest thing Sharon Stone said on the set of Euphoria I don know but I think Sharon has some of the best stories
5:18
of anyone ever on this earth. If you want to hear more about them, you should read her book because
5:24
her book is amazing and Sharon is a f***ing powerhouse and just the coolest of all time
5:30
If there were another season, what would you like to see next for Lexi
5:34
She's the head writer on LA Nights, probably. And maybe she'll finally get a boyfriend
5:40
Poor Lexi. What's one thing you'll carry with you from your time on Euphoria
5:47
both personally and creatively? It's hard to narrow it down to just one thing
5:51
Getting to watch the show get made and getting to watch Sam work and sort of just
5:56
just getting to observe that like nothing was impossible. Like Sam just like, he's so creative and I'm headed somewhere
6:05
I'm just trying to figure out how to say it. For example, like in the first season when the room is spinning
6:10
when she's on drugs, like they built a full spinning room and it looks amazing
6:16
It's very inspiring and it's been really cool to get to watch all of that
6:20
What Will I Carry? I feel like learning how to conduct myself on a set
6:25
to be respectful to my cast and crew and be prepared. And every lesson I've learned about acting and filmmaking in my life
6:36
mostly is from being on the Euphoria set. So... Don't clap. No clapping
6:46
Woo
