TWIST just got off the phone with Austin Abrams from Toy's House! Austin dished about his new movie, how he got started in acting and what's next for him. Check out our exclusive convo below!
XOXO,
TWIST
TWIST: Can you tell us a little bit about your movie, Toy's House?
Austin Abrams: Toy's House is about three boys who are fed up with their families, so they decide to move out to the woods and run away. They use some wood and some nails, and they build somewhat of a house and live there for a while.
TWIST: Do you have any survival skills? Do you think you could survive that?
AA: I think I'd be pretty good at making fires. I would have that ability.
TWIST: How do you relate to your character Aaron?
AA: He's more the opposite of me. I created him as being nerdish and trying to be cool. I'm not saying I'm already cool, but he's trying to be something that he's not, and that would be a difference.
TWIST: How did you get started in acting?
AA: When I was about five my mom took me to an acting camp here in Florida to get me to be less shy. I really don't know why, but I decided I wanted to do that as a profession when I was five. Then I went to my mom when I was eight or so and said I wanted to be on Nickelodeon because that was where everything was at at the time. It all kind of just played out. I got help from people at the camp who got me auditions at a theater company in town, and kind of just kept going.
TWIST: What's next for you?
AA: Right now I'm just looking at things and getting ready for college. I might graduate early and maybe go to England and train. I just want to further myself and just get better.
TWIST: Thank you so much for talking with us today!
AA: My pleasure!
