On Fridays I do a live audience taping of Wizards of Waverly Place, – I play Alex Russo – which doesn’t finish until about 9pm. I’ll be exhausted after getting up at 7am all week for rehearsals and filming, but then I go into hair and make-up and shoot the show in front of 200 kids, and suddenly I’m on cloud nine. You hear them laughing and they’re holding posters and wearing Wizards shirts and my adrenalin shoots right up.
Afterwards, I’m always like, “we should go do something”, which usually means dinner with the other members of the cast somewhere in Los Angeles. If I get my own way we go to PF Chang’s. Do you have it in Britain? It’s a Chinese restaurant chain that does delicious egg rolls and crispy wantons.In an ideal world though I’d be spending the weekend in Texas, which means taking a lunchtime flight out of LA. I was born in Grand Prairie, a city in Dallas County, and I absolutely love going back to stay with my grandparents.
I’ll spend the afternoon catching up with my Nana and then I’ll surprise my 11-year-old cousin Brooke by picking her up from school. It makes my day seeing the look on her face when she spies me waving at her from the school gate.
We have this cute Starbucks just next to my Nana’s house which I use as a rendezvous when I get back to Texas. Brooke and I will drive around picking up my friends and then we’ll all ride in one car for hot chocolates. My friends and I won’t have seen each other for ages so we’ll have lots to fill each other in on.
Proud to be a Selenator
Love and Peace Always
