My first concert.

I think it was P!nk when I was really really young.

(chuckling)

Hi, I'm Levi Miller

and we're playing Teen Vogue's Game of Firsts.

My first acting job was when I was...

I think I was six or something and I was doing a commercial.

I barely remember it,

but I remember I always wanted to do acting.

So, it was sort of this big thing for me.

My first favorite movie was probably

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

I think that would have to be my first.

It represented some kinda sense of adventure for me,

so it just sort of stuck with me as I grew up.

My first album that I ever got was probably The Doors,

recently, because I used to just get songs.

First thing I ate this morning?

An omelet, the first thing I ate this morning was an omelet.

It was ham, mushrooms, and spinach.

The first song I learned all the words to was probably

Imagine by John Lennon.

I think that was probably the first song

that I learned all the words to.

My first audition for A Wrinkle In Time?

That was a while ago now, actually.

It was like a year and a bit.

So, it was a self-taped to where I filmed it back home,

back in Australia.

My first impression of Ava?

Incredible, she's such a visionary and impressive director.

My first impression of Oprah,

when I was younger I was really really inspired by her

'cause I said in an interview when I was 11,

talking about how I wanted to meet her,

and then years later I'd actually be able to

have dinner with her and talk to her.

But actually meeting her...

It was weird because it's like,

when you meet someone that you've looked up to for so long,

its like...

It's weird because you're speaking to them

and it's almost surreal

'cause they're such normal and down to earth people.

First favorite subject was probably geography

'cause I hadn't really done any humanities subjects prior

and it's kinda, I don't know, about the world

and the past and the future.

It's interesting.

My first role model might've been Oprah.

(laughing)

And I've always looked up to Leo, Leonardo DiCaprio,

ever since I was really young.

The first lesson from my mom was, I guess, to be myself

and to sort of stand strong

when everything's going on, you know what I mean?

To be an individual.

My first impression of meeting Storm.

I met her in the audition process.

It was nice to meet her

'cause I had never met a Californian girl my age.

You know, it's different as you go across America.

People are so different.

Thank you for watching.

I'm Levi Miller and go see A Wrinkle In Time March 9th.
