[Both] Wired Autocomplete Interview.

[claps] Here we go.

So the header here is how Joey King.

How did Joey King become famous?

Became famous?

[laughs] That's hysterical.

Wait, Joey King's famous?

Joey King did not know that she was famous,

but if she were to answer that question to the best

of her ability, it would be lots of hard work.

[laughing]

A good answer.

Okay, how did Joey King and Sabrina Carpenter meet?

I'm actually curious about this too

'cause you guys have been friends forever.

We've been friends forever.

Sabrina Carpenter and Joey King met many, many years

ago at a charity event.

Sabrina came over to me and was like,

hi, I'm Sabrina.

What's funny is we weren't always super close.

For the first several years of our friendship,

we would hang out once every like, year.

And it was the funnest thing in the world.

We don't know why it took us so long to become

as close as we are now.

[Joel] How old is Joey King Kissing Booth?

[laughing]

How old is Joey King Kissing Booth?

In the first Kissing Booth, I am 17,

but in real life, I am about to be 21.

Dang, whoop-woo!

Okay, last one, how does Joey King stay in shape?

People actually ask that question to Google?

That's so funny to me.

I go through phases of working out a ton

and then not working out at all and then I go through

phases of eating a ton and then eating clean.

Like it's kind of weird, I don't have a system,

especially when we were shooting The Kissing Booth

'cause I took so long to film it.

I started out working out so hard every day,

so healthy, and then it just went out the window

and I was like, I guess I'll just eat fried food

and peanut butter shakes every day,

because who really cares?

Thick shakes!

[laughs]

Okay are you ready?

Joel Courtney, when was Joel Courtney born?

I was born January 31st, 1996.

Good year, good vintage of person, apparently.

I'm not really great with the zodiac signs,

but I've been told that I'm on the cusp

between Aquarius and another one

because the 31st is so close, it can go either way,

so apparently, I have a split personality.

Do you know what my sign is Joel?

I'll give you a hint.

Rawr!

[laughing]

I'm a Leo, it's fine. Taurus?

Leo, gotcha.

I think rawr is like, pretty.

Well it's like the lion, like [growling].

Okay that's true.

Whatever.

Okay.

What has Joel Courtney been in?

What hasn't he been in?

[laughs] Stop.

So I started my career in Super 8, 2010.

That was actually my first audition.

I'd never done anything before that.

I did a quick stint with CW in The Messengers.

A few years go by, more movies,

and then The Kissing Booth happens in,

oh my goodness, 2017, is that right?

Yup, that's right.

Then it came out in 2018.

Honestly, it was just been the best ride.

I've realized, I've been working for a decade now,

which is [imitates explosion blasting].

[Joey] How tall is Joel Courtney in feet?

When I take my shoe and I just keep stacking

them up until they reach the top of my head,

I reach about 12 feet.

God, the dad joke!

[laughs] No, I'm about 6 foot, 6'1,

depending on the shoe.

Is Joel Courtney related to Joey King?

[laughs]

Might as well be.

You would actually maybe think so,

because we are so close that we sometimes finish

each other's sentences. Sandwiches.

Dude, you're the brother I never wanted, you know.

[laughing]

[claps]

No, we are not related, but man it sometimes feel

likes we are.

All right, next slide.

Oh no.

I'm named after my grandfather,

who to my knowledge was a lovely guy.

He passed before I was born, but I am a woman.

[Joel] Is Joey King Australian?

I am not Australian, I'm American.

Well you know, 23 Me, I'm not an American,

but I'm American, born in America,

but I understand why people were confused on that,

because I with Jacob, so I get it.

I'm not related to Stephen King.

I do love Stephen King books though.

But no, I have no relation to Stephen King at all [laughs].

[Joel] Is Joey King vegan?

I am not vegan.

I try to be careful about my meat intake

and I don't really eat dairy if I can help it,

but I am not vegan unfortunately.

I respect vegans more than you could ever imagine though.

I've always wanted to really be a vegan.

I'm trying sometimes, but it's hard, it's very hard.

This is morbid, but I've always had a death row meal.

Like that sounds terrible, whatever,

but I always said it was gonna be my grandma's brisket

and a peanut butter milkshake.

So the opposite of vegan.

Sorry, but I also love vegan food so much.

Here we go.

my brain read that as Joel Courtney SPF 8.

[laughing]

Joel Courtney Super 8, nothing to do with sunscreen.

No but I did start my own sunscreen line

and it only is SPF 8.

Oh my God, you're so dumb, I love you so much.

I was like, at least Joel Courtney SPF 30.

[laughing]

Super 8 is my first movie.

That was my first audition.

I mean that was really just a baptism of fire.

I remember showing up to set and I think

I scared the entire crew because I was saying like,

what does that thing do, what's the purpose of that?

And they're like, well that's the camera.

And I'm like, cool cool cool, so what's that do?

And they're like, oh, what are we in for?

That's so cute though.

I am not related to Ross Lynch, but I'm friends with him.

There's this little league and we play softball sometimes.

I became friends with his brother and sister.

They invited me to play one time

and then that's basically all we do.

I don't even really know them outside of softball.

No, I don't have a twin.

I'm a mean lady 'cause I definitely know that I'm not.

I'll take this for Joey 'cause it is hard

to speak on this one for yourself.

She is awesome and she's literally one of my favorite

people that I've ever worked with, so,

moving on before I start crying.

but it was negative quotes.

So you know in traffic, people slow down

for a car accident and they're called rubber neckers?

I was one time driving in LA and my dad's riding shotgun,

and I go, ah, those stupid redneckers.

They're slowing us all down.

I said redneckers instead of rubber neckers,

so like the quote list that I kept

was of the dumb things that I said [laughs].

Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I don't think

I've ever really said anything that was worth quoting.
