Nina Dobrev and Luke Bracey Take a Lie Detector Test

[Male] Nina, Luke, we brought you here today

to take a lie detector test.

One of you will be hooked up to the machine

while the other asks questions,

and then you'll switch.

Who wants to be in the hot seat first?

Scissor-paper-rock?

Scissor-paper-rock?

You mean rock-paper-scissors?

No I meant scissor-paper-rock.

I mean it's not correct but we could do that if you like.

All right ready?

Scissor, paper, rock.

Dammit!

So he's going first. I'm asking the questions.

It's all fun, it's all fun and games,

you should have everything to worry about.

Oh jeez.

Okay.

I have to be very serious.

It's a very serious matter.

Is your full name Nikolina Konstantinova Dobreva?

No.

That is my mom's maiden name, and Wikipedia is wrong.

[Luke] Well you believe everything you read

on the internet, don't you?

Exactly.

Well you did.

I always.

Were you born in Bulgaria?

Yes.

[Luke] Were you raised in Canada?

Yes.

Right.

Let's get started.

Was that the truth?

Perfect.

Okay.

You were raised in Canada.

Do you consider yourself Canadian?

Yes.

Would you say Canadians are nicer than Australians?

Absolutely.

[Luke] I probably would too.

100% of the time.

And are Canadians and Australians

both nicer than Americans?

Absolutely.

Your workout videos on YouTube have millions of views.

Do you think that I'd be able to

keep up with you in the gym?

No.

She's telling the truth.

[laughing]

Oh, I love it.

You gotta believe in yourself, hey.

You can't have no in your heart.

That's great.

Okay, next question.

On Reddit there is an entire channel

dedicated to praising you.

Do you ever check it?

I don't even know what Reddit is.

Okay.

Now that you know about it, will you check it?

Probably.

Is she telling the truth?

[Female] She's telling the truth.

[laughing]

I mean--

[Luke] That's great.

I'll definitely save it for a rainy day.

If I'm like feeling bad about myself I'll be like,

let's see what they're saying on Reddit.

[Luke] That's lucky to have something like that, isn't it?

Yeah.

Have you ever Googled yourself in the past month?

Yes.

[Luke] Were you happy with the results?

Oh gosh, I'm hearing that thing like...

[laughing]

I think I haven't only Googled myself once,

so there was a few of the times were positive.

Yes, the positive and the negative.

Oh my gosh I'm like...

I think it's all right, we don't need the machine do we?

After this answer.

I'm being honest.

There was a moment where I was happy

and then there was another time where I wasn't.

Phew, I'm sweating.

That's honest.

Do likes and followers matter to you?

Sometimes.

Do you know how many Instagram followers you have

off the top of your head?

Yes.

[Luke] How many?

18 million point six.

[Luke] Bingo.

[laughing]

On the money.

So I've heard, like around, like give or take a few.

Do you know how many I have?

I did look recently.

I don't remember.

It pales in comparison.

Yeah, no no I think we're close.

We're kinda close.

That's a blatant lie.

I know that for a fact.

I remember how disgusted you were when you saw

my Instagram account for the first time.

I still am.

Yeah.

No you know what, you could work on it.

I could help you.

Anything more than I'm doing now is more.

Anything would be great.

I think the problem is that nothing happens

on your Instagram account.

You once said that you have an obsession with

trying things for the first time.

Would you ever try Ayahuasca?

Absolutely.

I'm actually very excited to try Ayahuasca.

[Luke] Right.

Mm-hm.

What about joining a nudist colony?

[Nina] Not interested.

Not interested?

No.

Fair enough.

How about Vegemite?

You wouldn't wanna try it for the first time?

[Nina] I have tried it.

You have tried it.

Didn't like it? No.

It's an acquired taste, I understand.

I don't understand.

It's the saltiness, you know.

High in vitamin B, that's what it says on the jar.

Do you believe everything you read on jars?

[Luke] Always.

Do you ever say no to fans who ask you for selfies?

I have if I was late for something, yes.

Okay.

So it's not because you think you're better than them?

No.

[Luke] Just reading what's on the paper.

I feel like you're improvising a little bit.

[Luke] I'm not, that's on the paper.

I'm feeling a little improv over there.

I'm gonna check that sheet later.

You can.

Have you ever pretended you weren't Nina Dobrev?

Yes.

Fantastic.

Now, I'm just gonna preface this with

I did not write this question.

But it's here.

Do you think that I might get mistaken for this man?

Please say no.

Oh my God.

I mean not...

I could see you becoming this guy.

I can actually see you aging like him, for sure.

But you don't currently have a white beard.

Yeah, thanks.

Yeah I can see it.

You seem very uncomfortable with this.

It's a very strange thing to ask someone, isn't it?

Do you think I look like Brad Pitt?

It's ridiculous.

I mean I think I would be flattered if--

I'm absolutely flattered, but I feel like a...

I don't know, can I say the word wanker?

I feel like a wanker.

You're an avid yogi, correct?

Yes.

Would you say that in general you are pretty zen?

No.

I like it, that's nice.

That's good honesty.

That's what we're looking for here.

[Nina] Thank you.

So you've never yelled at a PA on set?

I have.

You have?

Okay.

Do you think I'd make a good tandem yoga partner?

That's strange.

I don't even know what that is.

Neither do I.

I found out recently, have you heard of goat yoga?

I have and I'm dying to do it.

What do you mean dying to do it?

Have a kid goat on your back, it's ridiculous.

Totally, it'd be so cute.

[Luke] Wouldn't it hurt?

They've got hoofs.

I think it's a baby goat, first of all.

[Luke] Still hoofs.

Hey, goat.

Fair enough.

You played Elena on The Vampire Diaries.

Would you ever say yes to a reboot?

Probably not.

[Luke] There we go.

For a while.

It's only been three years.

[Luke] Very diplomatic.

It's only been three years since the show ended.

I think that, you know what actually,

I don't think we could do a reboot,

because the whole premise is that we're vampires,

and whether I like it or not, time is not in my favor

and I will inevitably age.

Because you can't age because you're a vampire, right.

[Nina] Exactly.

Has anyone ever asked you to role play

being a vampire in the bedroom?

No.

[laughing]

[Female] I do not have a clear reading.

[laughing]

Well I mean it just depends 'cause like,

have they asked or have I bitten anyone?

Those are two different questions

that would have different answers.

Has anyone ever asked you to role play

being a vampire in the bedroom?

Then the answer still remains no.

Is doing a French accent harder than playing a vampire?

Yes.

I imagine that's so.

Did you lie at any point in this

and we didn't catch you?

No.

Okay.

Well.

I'm so excited.

I'm so excited--

[Luke] I bet you are.

To put these on you.

Well, bring it on.

I'm sweating already.

Okay.

Okay.

[clears throat]

Luke.

Nina.

[Nina] Is that in fact your name?

It is.

[Nina] Is your last name Bracey or is that a stage name?

It's my last name.

Are you Australian?

I am Australian.

[Nina] Are you 30 years old?

No.

Ooh, drama.

Not yet.

Oh my God, I'm older than you?

Dunno.

Wow.

All right, let's get started.

Your first role was on the soap opera Home and Away.

Did you prepare by watching my work

on my soap opera, Degrassi?

I have never seen Degrassi.

I'm sorry.

[tutting]

I'll be getting the box set for Christmas.

You did yourself a favor.

Your character Trey was a bad boy.

Were you a bad boy in high school?

No.

[Nina] Would you say that you're a good boy?

Yeah.

That's true.

She kinda did a...

So.

Yeah you know, that's a spectrum.

Did you ever sneak out at night to meet a girl?

Yes.

[laughing]

I'm sorry mom and dad.

You're 30.

Do you really think they'll be upset now?

No.

Okay.

Did you win any superlatives in high school?

I don't know why I couldn't say that word.

Like awards?

[Nina] Yes.

Yes, I did.

[Nina] What awards did you win?

I won some sporting awards,

and I won some like citizenship awards in school,

like I guess being a good bloke kinda thing.

Did you win most smoldering award?

I didn't believe we had that at my high school.

Did you win Brad Pitt lookalike

[Luke] in the future award? Certainly not.

[laughing]

Do you think that we would have been friends in high school?

Yeah, I do actually.

I feel like we're like a real married couple

because of our characters.

And I'm like taking these to heart.

Like I was like if he says no, I swear to God.

I swear to God.

Okay.

Are there things that you miss about Australia?

Yes.

Would you say pizza Shapes are better than chicken crimpy?

Pizza Shapes are epic.

What is a pizza Shape?

Shapes are like a little chip, crisp, and pizza flavored.

But you know, how close to pizza it is is anyone's guess,

but they are fantastic.

What's a chicken crimpy?

Chicken crimpy?

I'm not sure.

I think it's like the chicken flavor of the Shapes,

I'm guessing.

I prefer pizza Shapes to the chicken Shapes.

Are these chips?

[Luke] Yeah they're like a crisp, chip, yeah.

Got it.

You guys are [bleep] weird.

[laughing]

Put it in the Vegemite category.

No you'd like 'em over Vegemite, for sure.

Is your stance that Sydney is superior to Melbourne?

Yes.

Do you think Aussie footie is better than

American football?

It's two different things.

If you're talking like Australian rules football,

which is a different sport to Rugby League or Rugby Union,

I guess I'd still say it's a better game

than American football.

So, again, a yes or no question.

Do you think Aussie footie is better than American football?

Yes I do.

Okay.

You almost became a rugby player instead of an actor, right?

I did.

[Nina] Did you make the right decision sticking to acting?

It's much easier pretending to be a tough guy

than actually being one.

Ooh, that's good.

Is that true?

He is telling the truth.

I am absolutely telling the truth.

[laughing]

Yeah, I'm pretty happy that I don't get

bashed up for a living anymore.

Do you think I could beat you at a game of rugby?

Absolutely not.

How could you?

You've never played the game before.

How do you know that?

'Cause you're from Canada and you like,

there's no way you've played a game of rugby before--

You don't know where I've been and what I've done

and who I've done it with.

[Luke] I do know that--

I have a lot of Aussie friends.

I would absolutely annihilate you in a game of football.

Was it intimidating acting alongside

Vince Vaughn in Hacksaw Ridge?

Yes.

Was it intimidating acting alongside me in Lucky Day?

No it was more fun.

Do you think that you've broken more hearts than him?

Vince Vaughn.

What?

No.

You've walked many red carpets.

Would you consider yourself fashion forward?

What does that mean exactly?

Do you consider yourself fashion forward?

[Luke] Like fashionable?

Yes.

I mean, people put me in some nice clothes,

but I don't really push the boundaries fashion-wise.

I'm pretty conservative.

I would say I like being comfortable and looking nice

but I wouldn't say I'm fashion forward.

[Nina] Okay.

Would you say that you're fashion backward?

Sometimes.

[laughing]

That was an improv.

That wasn't written on the page.

Okay.

[clears throat]

Luke Bracey.

[Luke] Mm-hm.

Are flip-flops an acceptable red carpet attire?

I mean, I call them something different,

I call them thongs.

That's a whole different thing.

I know, that's a cultural thing.

I mean it would be really, really weird

to show up on a red carpet just wearing a thong.

I wouldn't recommend it personally.

I wouldn't do it to myself.

[Nina] Good, don't do that.

Are they appropriate red carpet attire?

[Nina] Yes.

Look, I wear my thongs, flip-flops, everywhere.

But maybe I think a red carpet, I mean,

you probably have to wear a suit and some shoes.

I think it's nice to wear some closed toe footwear.

Do you get manicures?

No.

Wasn't on the page I just needed to know.

Can you explain this?

Oh right, it's me wearing flip-flops.

I'm wearing thongs.

I mean yeah, it's me wearing thongs I guess.

See this wasn't exactly a premier,

it was more just--

I said red carpet, I didn't say premier.

Oh okay, okay.

Well you know, you got me there.

I guess that I do think they're appropriate.

You know.

That was a funny day actually.

I'm gonna tell you about that day after this.

[Nina laughing]

Who's behind you?

Is that Leo?

Yeah I think it's in, I think it was in Sydney,

I took my mates to the screening of the Wolf of Wall Street

in Sydney 'cause I got some free tickets,

so me and my friends wanted to go and watch the movie,

and I guess I'd just come from the beach

or something like that and rocked up.

Do you think that Leo can kinda get away with anything?

I don't think anyone can get away with anything.

[Nina] Do you think that Leo specifically thinks

that he can get away with anything?

I cannot answer that question for Leo.

Well the only reason I was asking, there's a reason,

is because you were standing right next to

Leo in this photo, so maybe you thought that

if you were standing next to him

wearing flip-flops that it's fine.

And they said okay.

I was quietly hoping.

Okay.

[laughing]

Why am I sweating again?

I'm on the other side.

I've got karma during this.

It's gotten easier for me.

[Nina] This is fun.

I'm having--

All you gotta do is tell the truth,

it's the easiest lie to tell is the truth.

Yeah.

I'm having like too much fun doing this,

I feel like I might have to get one of

these things for my home.

I know, right.

How much are these?

How much does a lie detector go for?

[Female] Thousands.

Thousands.

That might be worth it, 'cause like--

I mean if you all chipped in with your friends,

you have a big party and just do a lie detector party.

That's a great idea for a party.

And you know how you would date people

for like years at a time and then you figure out

that they're horrible?

Like you could save yourself so much time.

Exactly.

And heartache, if you just invested in that.

Anywho, next.

Have you ever been mistaken for one of the Hemsworths?

Yes.

Would you say that you're better looking than them?

No.

Have you seen their eyes?

They're bluer than a Santorini sunset.

Plus they're really tall and athletic.

They're handsome buggers.

Both Chris and Liam auditioned for Thor.

Did you also audition?

No.

[Nina] Do you think that you would make a better Thor?

No.

He's telling the truth.

Is it true that you know how to play the bagpipes?

I do know how to play the bagpipes.

[Nina] Wow.

Yes, yes I do.

The man knows how to blow.

And you've done this in a kilt?

Oh yeah.

Yes I have.

A number of times.

A lot of people go commando in a kilt.

Is it safe to say that you've blown while commando?

The correct term when wearing a kilt is regimental.

And yes I have.

You once said that actors have to be

automatically narcicisstic to be in front of

the camera all day.

So, do you think that I'm narcissistic?

We're all narcissistic.

So then are you saying that I'm narcissistic?

Yeah.

We're gonna talk about this later.

Did you lie at any point during this lie detector test

and we didn't catch you?

No.

Casually he sits there.

I'm just, this is easy now.

Any more questions?

Let's go.

I'm easy.

I would have passed this, I should be a spy.
