Yara Shahidi and Charles Melton Play 'I Dare You'

Okay, it's a knock knock joke.

You gotta knock knock. Knock knock.

Who's there?

Wait. Wait.

[laughs]

Hey lovely humans, I'm Yara Shahidi,

and I'm Charles Melton,

And we're

[In Unison] Going to be playing a game of I Dare You.

So...

Let's get started.

You're going first, truth or dare?

Um, dare.

Tell us your favorite joke.

Okay, what did one wave say to the other wave?

Nothing, they just waved.

[rimshot]

I think what's funny is that it's so

simple it's complicated.

What's your favorite karaoke song?

Please sing a little.

Mine is Gone in Spanish by NSYNC.

♪ [Singing in Spanish] ♪

And then he goes into English and he goes

♪ And if I could just find a way. ♪

♪ I'm surrounded by your embrace, ♪

♪ Baby I can feel your halo, ♪

♪ You know you're my saving grace. ♪

I may have kinda switched up the words

a little bit.

Mhm.

Truth or dare?

Dare.

Teach your co-star a dance.

Oh, that's me!

You can make it up.

The book, reading the book.

Oh, the book is my favorite.

So you've just gotta mime it,

just kinda bounce, find your rhythm,

you know maybe turn the page because,

then you go back a couple of pages.

I have to pull out my highlighter.

Ooh! Look at that!

You know what, I'll do a dare.

Ooh, make up a rap on the spot

about an embarrassing moment you had.

Goodness, how did I get this one?

Should I give a beat?

I can't beatbox.

You should try, we can be in this together.

[beatboxes]

♪ One day I said hi to this guy, ♪

♪ I was a little scared but I was looking fly, ♪

♪ And it was going well, ♪

♪ Until I ran into a pole. ♪

Truth, truth, truth.

What's your biggest flaw?

I think the fact that I'm thinking about it

may make me seem like a little narcisstic

when I'm really just-

What's wrong with you?

I really can't think of anything.

But it's like whenever you have like that

describe yourself, like I feel like I

can never do it justice.

It's kind of embarrassing.

I don't use toenail clippers?

I'm very confused, so do you just

have very long toenails?

No, I use my fingers.

I don't know, like I've seen everyone

on my mom's side, like all my uncles

like my [Inaudible 00:02:43] And [Inaudible 00:02:45]

they're always picking their toes like this.

Anyways, yeah that was an embarrassing thing.

I did two truths in one.

Okay, I'll do a truth.

Get an embarrassing one please.

Okay, what is the most interesting secret

or thing you've learned about the person

you're sitting with?

Isn't that kinda personal?

An interesting secret?

Your knowledge of film is so deep,

and the reason I say that is because

not only did we go over the fact that you know

the Good Will Hunting monologue, and I think

after our summer I knew it, but then

when I watch how you approach a scene,

it's really cool to just see the references

you'll pull, like there's so many moments

when you're like, oh it's like this moment here.

Mhm.

I love movies, bring your popcorn.

Truth?

Your first kiss: how long had you been

building up to it, what was it like?

Ahh, okay, you remember Christina

that I was talking about earlier?

Oh, wait from first grade?

Yeah, it was during nap time.

And The Lion King was playing in the background,

and everyone was sleeping,

Wait, Lion King or Lion King one and a half?

Lion King one.

Maybe, let's just say, Can you Feel the Love Tonight

was playing,

♪ Can you feel ♪

Yeah she called me over,

she was underneath the table

in her little nap section,

and my heart was rushing because

I'm in the first grade, like what does she want?

And she leaned in and she gave me

a kiss on the cheek.

And the next thing I know Mrs. McCarridge

pulls me out into the hallway because she's crying

and she told Mrs. McCarridge that I kissed her

on the lips, so I never kissed anyone ever again.

[sad dramatic music]

It made shooting very difficult.

I'll do a dare.

Okay.

Sing your favorite song, perhaps from childhood.

♪ Happy birthday- ♪

Oh, you know what,

♪ Tavallod, tavallod ♪

♪ Tavallodet mobarak, mobarak ♪

It's the, Happy Birthday in Farsi.

Whoa!

Do you want to hear Happy Birthday in Korean?

Yes.

♪ Saeng il chuka hamnida ♪

♪ Saeng il chuka hamnida ♪

♪ Saeng il chuka hamnida Yara ♪

♪ Saeng il chuka hamnida ♪

That was the best!

Okay, truth or dare.

Uh, dare.

Act out both sides of your favorite film scene,

see if the other person can guess what it's from.

See the sad thing about a guy like you is,

in 50 years you're gonna start doin' some thinkin'

on your own and you're going to come up with the fact

that there are two certainties in life:

one, don't do that, and two, you dropped 150 grand

on a, beep, education you could have got-

Gotten for two dollars at the library?

Good Will Hunting.

Yes, okay truth or dare?

Truth.

Describe a time in your life when you had

to overcome something.

I remember in school,

I was new to the school,

I was advanced in math and they did not

want to put me in the proper math book.

They fervently really needed me to prove

that I was as accelerated as I said I was.

For the first, I think month of school

they just had me take a test every day,

to go through every single chapter

of every math book they had.

Oh my.

And I did it, and I ended up in the proper math book

but it was a small moment that I think

is familiar to so many people,

especially as people of color when it's

just like being underestimated in environments.

Absolutely, so a test every day?

Truth.

Truth?

If you could trade places with your mom or dad

for 24 hours, who would you pick

and what would you do?

Um, my mom.

Yeah, okay what would you do?

Just tell my dad what to do.

Go mow the lawn.

Just a power trip?

Yeah, just a power trip.

Truth or dare?

Truth.

When you're 90, what would you like to say

you have achieved?

I'd like to really make sure

that I'm committed to staying healthy

and moving my body so that I can still

be agile at 90, but I would like to say

that I've either started a think tank

or informed policy in some way.

I'd like to have produced some poignant movies,

and I'd like to be a dope producer.

I'd like for my grandchildren to be playing

a retro song and hear like,

Yara on the beat.

Featuring Yara Shahidi!

Some Shahidi don't trust you.

It was so fun playing with you, Teen Vogue.

Thanks Be sure-

I'm so sorry.

Make sure-

You see The Sun is Also a Star.

Thanks guys!
