[giggles]

See, they know me better than I know myself.

[printer whirs]

This is the Camila Mendez fan survey.

[box crashes]

[Man] We've got a box full of surveys.

Thank you.

[ding]

[Man] If you just pull out the top one and start filling

it out for me.

The whole thing?

The whole thing.

For real? For real.

How old is the oldest person that took this survey?

21.

[Man] How old do you think the youngest person was that

took this survey?

12.

[Man] What was the average age of a person that took

this survey.

15.

[Man] And what do you think the most common age was?

14?

[Man] So here are the age results.

Okay.

Oh my god.

No.

The oldest person was 37.

[Man] People over 30 watched Riverdale.

Yeah, but fill out surveys about me?

[Man] Someone did.

I'm not judging.

[Man] What about the youngest age?

Six?

Wait, what?

I didn't even see that!

That's like a first grader.

How do you verify their age?

You can't know that.

[Man] People lie about their age when they take a survey.

What was the average age?

17.3.

Okay, that makes sense.

[Man] And what was the most common age?

I got that right.

14.

[paper crumples]

[printer whirring]

Inside Camila's mind.

I don't like talking about myself in the third person.

[Man] Well, it's gonna be a tough day for you then.

Who is my doppelganger?

Like someone that people

say I look like? Yeah.

Oh, you know who I get a lot, Phoebe Tonkin.

[Man] Gonna throw it.

Yep.

Wow.

Phoebe Tonkin.

We caught it on camera.

I said it.

51 people.

10 percent of the people said I look like Phoebe Tonkin.

I wish I had green eyes.

She's gorgeous.

Damn.

Thank you.

Oh, I should have said Nina Dobrev!

I've definitely gotten that.

19.

A healthy 19.

Lucy Hale.

I knew that too.

Oh my gosh.

Hey Lucy, what's goin' on girl.

Selena Gomez.

Damn.

Thank you.

Oh, Audrey Hepburn, excuse me.

Hey!

One person said Audrey Hepburn.

All it takes is one.

But how many people said Selena?

I'm sorry, let's go back.

I'm sorry Selena. Nine.

Wait, is that J Lo?

[Man] What does it say on the back of J Lo?

Probably zero.

One.

When she grows up.

I mean, I hope so.

I hope I age like J Lo.

Damn.

Audrey Hepburn really surprised me.

I don't think I look like Audrey Hepburn.

Although maybe in this photo.

Like maybe like that.

J Lo's just gonna hang out right here.

What does Camila believe came first,

the chicken or the egg?

I am glad you asked because I think

it had to be

the egg.

The chicken must have evolved from an earlier species

of a chicken.

And then eventually, it made an egg that was mutated

and that mutation gave birth to what was known

to be a chicken.

[Man] What do you think the fans are gonna say?

Part of me thinks they're gonna say the chicken,

as like a joke, because of our chickens.

There's like a meme that's our chickens.

'Cause I call Archie Archiekins in the show.

So I think those fans will be like you know, LOL.

This is fun.

Chicken!

No, egg.

Damn it.

Egg.

But that's good because that means they know me well.

54.2 percent said egg.

[Man] And how many said--

Don't know.

14.2

I don't know what, that's so funny.

I don't know what she thinks.

That's the best part.

I was 13.

[laughs]

I had a boyfriend.

His name was Stuart.

I just remember we were sitting on the couch, talking

so I took out my retainer and I went like this

and I just hid it behind my back.

That was when I was really obsessed with Nicole Richie

and the Simple Life.

She really shaped who I am today.

I had loves it imprinted on my retainer.

That's her motto.

Loves it.

14 is the most popular response.

34.1 percent.

That's close. Yeah.

That's really close.

What does that say about me?

Six percent said 18.

Good guess.

14 is pretty normal for a first kiss.

[Man] Yeah, totally.

But I was 13, so I was just a year ahead of my time.

It was sticking to the table.

There was like the first time I ever got paid

for doing something, but it wasn't a job.

It was just a thing I did one time.

Dress up as an elf at a mall and sell cotton candy.

And then the second thing, I did an Ikea commercial.

That was like way after.

So that was like I guess, my first real paid gig.

And then I booked Riverdale.

The fans I know best might know the elf thing.

Ikea.

85.

That's a lot of people.

They were fans of me back in my Ikea days.

'Cause I really know how to sell furniture.

Waitress.

61.

Fun fact.

Never a waitress.

Barista.

Still no.

16 people said barista.

Never was a barista.

No one said elf.

Intern at ad agency.

No.

But interestingly enough, I was an intern at a talent

agency during college but it wasn't paid

and that's actually how I got my agent.

Fun fact.

And the fans who really know me,

which I guess is just 13.

Mall elf.

I sold cotton candy.

It was only one day.

My friend was just like do you want to get paid tomorrow

for this much, wear an elf costume, sell cotton candy?

Cranberry in a play.

I was a cranberry in a play,

but again, not a paid gig.

I was eight in elementary school.

They should have paid me for the performance I gave them.

Three people said that.

And those fans, they're my ride or die.

Amazing stuff.

I am very impressed.

What color do you think Camila thinks looks best on her?

I guess you're just framing me to look really delusional.

I think yellow looks really good on me.

[Man] I guess, why?

I don't know, it just looks good on my skin tone, bro.

[Man] Sure.

Every time I wear it, it just seems to like,

[snaps fingers] everyone's like [snaps fingers], you know?

It's a happy color.

Do you see it?

[Man] I can see it now.

Just like draped in construction paper.

Black.

207 people think I think I look best in black.

[Man] Do you agree?

No. I love black.

I wear black a lot.

Now I understand why they think that.

Anyway, red?

168.

I'm just more like no one said yellow.

Blue at 41 and orange at 28.

They might be thinkin' yellow, but sayin' orange,

you know what I mean?

What color do you, the fans, think looks best on Camila?

They're going to say red.

Every time I wear red and I post about it, like red is so

your color, blah blah blah, they all like comment

on the fact that I'm wearing red.

I'm just tryin' to make an educated guess here.

[printer whirring]

Red!

216 baby!

I got it right, 'cause I know my fans.

Black, 99.

I don't see it.

Yellow, 51.

It's still in the game.

Blue, 33.

I wore blue at Kimmel.

That's true.

I wore blue at Kimmel and I looked amazing.

Here's the most telling data.

The colors that they think I think I look best in,

they guessed black first and red second

and then for the color they think

I look best in, it's inverted.

Red first, black second.

So what that means is that I wear black a lot and they

want me to wear red more.

[Man] Are you gonna listen to them?

No.

I'm gonna do what I want.

But I do love red.

And I'll probably wear it.

But not because you told me to.

[printer whirring]

Transmutations?

Definitely not a plant.

I think I'd be a kitty cat.

[Man] Why?

Is it not obvious?

I'm cuddly, and cute, mischievous, independent.

[Man] What do you think the fans are gonna say?

I think the fans are gonna say kitty cat.

Comin' in hot.

Oh my gosh, I should have said that.

I am.

I should have said that.

It's a baby dragon.

[giggles]

See, they know me better than I know myself.

81 people said baby dragon.

I wasn't thinkin' fictional animals.

Bravo to you, the fans.

Because this is a great answer.

I am a baby dragon.

I am small, but ferocious.

Flower.

A rose or a sunflower.

I don't really know what to make of this,

but notice one is yellow, I don't know, feel like there's

a connection here.

And there's a pizza which is yellow.

30 people said pizza.

It's like looking in a mirror.

I'm trying to find the metaphor here.

I'm cheesy.

Crusty.

And covered in pepperoni.

Like an entree, you know, I'm not just a snack.

Awww, a little Yorkie.

A puppy dog, 13.

Same eyes.

Oh, is that a fox?

Thank you.

[Man] How many people said fox?

Six people said fox.

I don't disagree.

Sushi.

First of all it says suchi here,

'cause only one person wrote it.

Suchi.

I don't know how to speel that, it's adorable,

just like her.

Awww, that's so cute!

That could have been the six year old.

It's just like really cute that a six year old

think I'm adorable.

Should baby dragon hang out with J Lo maybe?

[Man] Sure.

She needs a friend. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

They're not getting along.

There's tension.

If Camila could have dinner with one person, dead or alive,

who would it be?

I would have dinner with my grandma on my dad's side.

She passed away recently of Alzheimer's and I never

really got to hear a lot of stories

about my dad's upbringing.

[Man] What do you think the fans are gonna say?

I think they're gonna say that.

I've talked about it.

And so I think if they've seen that video of my saying that,

then they'll write it.

[printer whirring]

Grandmother, 53.

Nailed it.

Charles Melton, boyfriend.

I have dinner with him like everyday.

Dead or alive?

Have dinner with my boyfriend?

I'd have dinner with the person who's dead

and then I'd go home and see my boyfriend,

you know what I mean?

Oprah, 19.

That's a good answer.

I mean, sure, I'll have dinner with Oprah.

Unicorn, one.

I know nonexistent was just kidding, I'm not gonna say

unicorns in a post because the evidence just isn't there

that they don't.

That's a great question.

I would be a loveseat.

[Man] Why?

Because I'm full of love.

[Man] What do you think the fans are gonna say?

A rug.

Because they just love to walk all over me.

I'm kidding.

They would say I am a lamp because I shine bright.

[Man] Did you know you'd be speaking in so many metaphors?

And I'm always on.

A lamp.

I don't know what it means man.

It's just magical.

51 people said lamp.

And that was just the first thing that came into my mind.

A bed, which was gonna be my second answer.

And I totally see it.

I mean, we get it.

Again, one of my instincts.

23 said couch, they didn't necessarily specify loveseat.

Spitting image.

Skorgsl.

Is that a desk?

Because she's a hard worker and is always her desk.

[giggles]

Very fancy toilet because no matter who or what tries

to get her down, she just flushes it away.

There are so many prats of her that we don't see,

but we see her beautiful exterior and we get to see

parts of her insides.

It's high concept.

I've always wanted fancy toilet.

I do flush it all away.

And, you get to see all of my insides.

[printer whirring]

Riverdale.

Which Riverdale cast member would Camila sacrifice first

in the zombie apocalypse?

Okay, you're asking for drama.

So what does that mean really, that I'd be like,

no take him, like eat him?

[Man] Yeah.

So basically I'm gonna pick the person that I would

tease the most on the show which is KJ.

I would sacrifice KJ first.

Honestly, KJ is a very jump in front of a bullet

to save someone, that's the kind of person he is,

so I feel like he'd understand.

Except I would be the one--

Push him. I'd be like die for me.

I think the fans are gonna say Cole maybe, which might

be my answer, while I'm thinking about it.

Cole deserves to be scarified, 'cause he's the oldest,

he's lived the longest.

KJ's the youngest.

We're not gonna sacrifice KJ.

Cole Sprouse.

They know me so well.

[Man] What was the least common answer?

Lili Renhart.

Accurate.

Really it's just KJ and Cole, they're almost in a tie.

But, they kinda follow the same logic pattern.

First instinct was KJ.

But then wait, Cole.

[laughs]

If Camila could add anyone famous to the cast

of Riverdale who would she choose?

I would choose Nicole Kidman.

She's super talented, and I love her in Big Little Lies

and I think a character like hers in Big Little Lies

could fit in very well in Riverdale.

Wait, what?

That's so funny.

Dylan Sprouse.

I love Dylan, he's great, but out of everyone,

sorry Dylan, but out of everyone?

He could play Jughead's long lost twin brother?

J Lo.

It's kinda funny how I manifested that though.

You know what I mean?

She's been sitting here this whole time.

She's not on camera.

J Lo's not on camera right now?

[Man] [speaks faintly]

There we go.

I didn't mean to push you off J Lo.

No wonder she came in second.

Beyonce at 13.

I'm sorry this has just really messed me up.

J Lo, Beyonce, Michelle Obama, Meryl Streep,

powerful women who are icons.

Dylan Sprouse amongst all of these women,

I don't really understand and I don't know how he

got ahead, but I love you Dylan.

Seriously.

No beef.

He'll get it.

[printer whirring]

What does Camila mean to you?

How supportive they are.

They make me feel my best.

There are especially like a few that I see a lot at events

and stuff that have spoken to me very openly

about stuff that they've dealt with and things that I

speak on, so I think there's just a bond there.

[printer whirring]

Her personality.

She's so kind and brave and we love her for who she is

and we will always support her and love her.

She makes our lives better when we are sad

she makes us smile.

She's the best in the whole world and thinking about it

my only goal is to hopefully meet her someday

she makes us better people and we just love her so much.

That's a lot of love.

That's really, really sweet.

We're all pretty awesome.

I like that answer.

I want this framed.

The endless support and love we give her and in general

we're all too nice.

We accept everyone and we don't attack other cast members.

That's very, very true.

Twitter can be a very dark place.

My fans are very kind to all the other fan bases.

Gotta support the stand culture.

[Man] What surprised you the most about this survey?

How much people pay attention to everything you say.

Any little thing you say in an interview, like one time

on my story I posted a story of unicorn paraphernalia

and then the next thing you know at every event my fans

are gifting me unicorn themed items.

And so it's like I can just post something and then they'll

all start to catch onto the fact that I like something.

And I think that's kind of crazy and awesome

that they're paying attention.

Thank you for taking this survey.

I love you guys.

And I learned a lot today about myself.

You taught me a lot about myself today.
