Hello.

Wow, I did not expect this to look like this at all.

[tense music] I had to put my hand down,

so it would stop shaking. [chuckles nervously]

[machine buzzing]

[Tester] Is your name Peyton Roi List?

Yes.

[Tester] Were you born on April 6th, 1998?

Yes.

[Tester] Are you about to take a lie detector test?

Yes.

[Tester] Are you nervous?

Yes.

[Tester] Let's start with your life.

You've said that you were once kicked off a dating app

because they thought you were a fraud.

Does that mean you're too famous for dating apps?

No.

[Tester] Do you like dating apps?

No.

[Tester] Do you think online dating is weird?

Yes and no.

'Cause I know it's the normal now, but it's weird for me.

[Tester] When you were on dating apps,

what was your age range?

[chuckles] I think it was, my age at the time,

must have been 21 to 28.

Maybe it was older.

[Tester] Is 15 years too big of a gap?

I don't think so.

[Tester] If this man were interested in you,

[Peyton laughs]

would you go on a date with him?

[sighs] No.

[Tester] Why not?

Is that true? [laughs]

I think our age difference is a little too much.

That's true.

I also have a boyfriend. [chuckles]

[Tester] Would you ever date a non-celeb?

Yeah.

[Tester] Have you?

Yes.

[Tester] What about a co-star?

Would you ever date a co-star?

Yes.

That's true.

[Tester] Would you have swiped right on your boyfriend

if you saw him on an app?

Yes.

[Tester] What if he was holding a fish

in one of his photos?

[Peyton laughs]

Yes.

Is that true?

[Tester] You've previously told Vanity Fair

that your dog Mo is a diva.

Does that mean you're an enabler?

Yes.

I give in to his everything.

[Tester] Does he fly first class with you?

Yes.

[Tester] Has Mo ever ridden on a private jet?

No.

[Tester] Would you say he's a bigger diva than you?

No.

That's a lie.

He's a bigger diva than me?

That's funny.

[Tester] So, do you consider yourself low maintenance?

Yes.

[Tester] Have you ever yelled at paparazzi?

Have I ever yelled at them?

No.

[Tester] Have you ever snapped at a fan?

Yes, I think I have.

[Tester] Did they deserve it?

I was crying, and they still were asking for a photo,

and I was just like, Can you not see

that I'm having an emotional day?

So I did snap, but I think I still was smiling

'cause as you can tell,

when I get nervous, I smile, so.

[Tester] So, you're nervous?

A little bit.

[Tester] Moving on to your career.

You said you've developed thick skin

to deal with the rejection that comes with the industry?

Yes.

[Tester] So are child stars

the toughest actors in the business?

Yes.

[Tester] Would you say this girl

was pretty tough at the time?

Ah! That's awful! [gasps]

Oh, my god, this is one of those photos

that you hope never comes back, and then now...

Yeah, I think she was. I think she was.

That is an outfit. Thanks mom.

That is just awful. [laughing]

[Tester] As a child, you had a small role in Remember Me

starring Robert Pattinson.

So does that mean he's your favorite Batman?

No, he's not.

[Tester] Did you have a bad experience with him on set?

[murmurs] I don't know what to say.

No, I don't think so.

[Tester] Do you think he and Suki are going to last?

Yes.

[Tester] Is that true, Sam?

That's inconclusive.

[Tester] You guest starred on a series Happy Together

executive produced by this man.

[Peyton chuckles]

Are you surprised

to see how successful his acting career has become?

Yes, but in the best way.

I think he's really talented.

[Tester] Do you think you're a better actor than he is?

No.

That's true.

[Tester] Your Cobra Kai co-star Mary Mouser

says out of all of your castmates,

you are most likely to want to get revenge on an enemy.

Do you agree with her?

No.

[Tester] So there's no one

that you would want to take revenge upon?

No.

That's true.

[Tester] Moving on to pop culture.

Is it true that you learned your work ethic

from watching America's Next Top Model?

Yes.

[Tester] You've said you're very competitive.

Do you think you would've won

if you were a contestant on the show?

No.

[Tester] Do you think Tyra would have approved

of this model pose?

Oh, god.

Oh, god, this is awful!

No.

She would not have approved at all.

Where are you finding these?

[Tester] Can you explain what's happening

in this photograph?

I think that was me at a Jonas Brother's concert.

I don't remember how old I was.

[Tester] You're closest to Kevin in this photo.

Does that mean he's your favorite Jonas Brother?

He is not my favorite Jonas Brother.

[Tester] Who is?

Joe was my favorite.

[Tester] As fellow Disney stars,

are you all in a secret Illuminati-like club?

No!

[Tester] Is it because you can't tell me if you are?

No.

[Tester] Is that true, Sam?

Inconclusive.

Can you imagine? Ha, ha!

[Tester] You love TikTok,

and have once called it The older sister I never had.

Yeah.

[Tester] Have you ever found yourself

on a random side of TikTok, but didn't want to leave?

Yes.

[Tester] What is it?

Any video with figurines

where they're getting in these intense fights,

and they're just these little dolls.

I've also made it onto a side of TikTok

where people, like, dance their trauma out really intensely

and they'll sometimes dance it in the rain,

or it'll be like, it really can be anyone.

And that is one of the most random sides, but I love it.

[Tester] Would anyone be surprised

about what's on your For You Page?

Yes.

[Tester] How so?

I think it's just different from how I seem.

Even my sense of humor and my interests are different

than I think I, than how I seem.

[Tester] Have you ever DMed a fellow celebrity?

Yeah, but I don't think I was doing it to flirt.

[Tester] What were you doing it for?

Oh, what was I doing it for?

I think I was just DMing them back from a request.

[Tester] Who was it?

I don't remember their name,

but it was a soccer player.

[Tester] Is it true she doesn't remember the name?

That's true.

[Tester] Did they respond?

Yes.

[Tester] What did they say?

Man, I'm really lucky my memory is horrible.

[Tester] Final question.

At any point, did you lie during this interview,

and we didn't catch you?

No.

That's true.

Oh, my gosh.

[crew chuckling]

Yay!

I blacked out, I think.

[tense music]
