[upbeat music]

So you want me to Vanna White it?

Just like ... K.

[upbeat music]

What does Lucy Hale do?

Well I ask myself that every day.

Lucy Hale is an actor, a singer, fellow human.

I've been acting, oh gosh,

supporting myself since I was 15, but kinda my whole life.

It's kind of all I know.

All right, who is Lucy Hale's, it's gonna say boyfriend,

boyfriend, best friend?

Oh God, I have a few of them.

I have my best friend Annie.

I have a best friend Kristin.

I have a best friend Kelsey.

I have a best friend Janelle.

They're all sitting behind the camera right now

so that's why I'm saying that

'cause I don't wanna leave anyone out.

But I think probably Annie is who most people would assume

because she's in all my Instagram photos with me.

Who is Lucy Hale related to?

People always ask me if I'm related to, is it Andy Hale?

He was on Gilligan's Island.

Alan Hale!

Andy Hale, who is that.

I'm related to no one in the entertainment business.

I'm the only person in my family who does what I do.

Who is Lucy Hale How I Met Your Mother?

SO I was on How I Met Your Mother twice,

once when I was 18, and then they brought me back

for I believe it was the finale episode.

And I played, oh gosh, she had a name,

and it's slipping my memory.

What's Robin's little sister's name?

Katie, we'll have to IMDB it,

but I'm pretty sure it's Katie,

and she was Canadian and like talky

and that's all I really remember.

But it was a blast.

I love that show, and I loved all those people.

All right, when is Lucy Hale's birthday?

Lucy Hale's birthday is June 14, 1989, ripe old age of 30.

I just know I'm a gemini to a T.

Oh, that's dramatic okay, sorry.

Is Lucy Hale a singer?

I like to think I'm a singer.

I actually started doing, started out singing

when I was younger, and that kind of led to the acting.

And then I did an album a couple years ago,

and now I kinda do music through like acting projects.

And I sing in the shower and on the 405.

I mean I think it sounds good, but that might be arguable.

I don't know. [laughs]

Is Lucy Hale a vegetarian?

I don't know, maybe.

I like to call myself a social carnivore

because I never eat meat like alone.

I never have it a lot, but when I'm out with friends

I'll occasionally have it.

Is Lucy Hale, oop, in Riverdale?

I'm in a Riverdale spin-off.

I play Katy Keene.

They took Josie, from Josie and the Pussycats,

and followed her to New York,

and it's like five years in the future.

It really doesn't have much to do with Riverdale

other than the fact that Josie's in the show.

Riverdale is very suspenseful and mysterious and dark,

and Katy Keene is a very inspirational show.

And it's about dreamers, and I play an aspiring designer.

But we do have some familiar Riverdale faces on the show.

I'm in one episode of Riverdale.

I can't say that I'm part of the Riverdale cast,

but I was in one of the most recent episodes.

Is Lucy Hale [laughs] related to Alan Hale Jr.?

Yes, I'm just kidding.

No, I am not, but I might be related to Andy Hale.

Is Lucy Hale single?

Very, very, very single, but not sad, but single.

All right, here we go.

What is Lucy Hale's middle name?

So my full name is Karen Lucille Hale.

People always think I'm lying.

I'm not lying.

Karen was a grandmother.

Lucille was a great-grandmother.

I think it's like a southern thing.

My mom was trying to keep all the women in the family happy,

but I've always gone by Lucy ever since I was born.

But you can call me Lucille is you want.

What does Lucy Hale tattoo say?

Well I've got 13 of them.

So this one says, Love her but leave her wild.

There's one here that says, oh God what does it say,

Courage to your heart.

It's been a while.

There's a bible verse on this side,

and then I have like an evil eye, a moon, a sun,

gemini constellation, elephant, a bow, an A.

The A is the Pretty Little Liars one.

All the girls went and got our character initial

on our shush finger.

It's one of my favorite ones.

It actually hurt the most.

This one hurt the most 'cause it's right on the bone.

I think that's it.

It's kinda sad if you don't remember all of your tattoos.

What color are Lucy Hale's eyes?

My eyes are hazel, sometimes more on the green side.

I'm gonna say they're hazel.

This is a great question.

Favorite color to wear, black.

Favorite color in life, lavender.

That's just never in a million years gonna happen.

[email protected]

What is Lucy Hale's email address?

Probably it's somewhere on the internet.

Is Lucy Hale hosting New Year's Eve?

I did the last four years.

I hope to continue that tradition.

For three years I was the New Year's Rockin' Eve

correspondent in New Orleans, and then they moved me up

to New York this last year.

And it was really fun, really amazing.

Very scary, there were a lot of people there,

and live TV is unpredictable.

But it was a good time.

Is Lucy Hale related to Selena Gomez?

I am, we're actually twins,

and we don't like to talk about it a lot in public.

No, you know what when I was younger I used to get

that I looked like her all the time.

I have met Selena because I did Wizards of Waverly Place

when I was like 17 or 18.

My long term boyfriend at the time played her brother

on Wizards of Waverly Place so I would see her all the time.

Is Lucy Hale related to Tony Hale?

Maybe?

No, I'm not.

Moving on.

Is Lucy Hale Australian?

What?

Welcome to the show.

That was pretty good.

Welcome to the show.

That's all I know.

I only know how to do that consonant.

I'm not Australian.

I've been to Australia once.

I love it.

I kinda wish I was Australian.

Is Lucy Hale dead?

I'm here to break it to you that I'm not dead.

I'm still here, still kickin' it,

can't get rid of me that easy.

All right, how is, how is Lucy Hale?

[laughs] How is Lucy Hale?

You know what, I'm so glad that you asked.

I'm great.

I'm actually great, really happy.

I've been spending time in New York.

I'm back in L.A.

I've no complaints.

Thank you, thank you so much.

Not many people stop and ask me that.

How did Lucy Hale and Ashley Benson meet?

This is actually a great, oh sorry,

that says how did Lucy Hale and Ashley Benson met?

So we met actually on MySpace.

I was 15.

We have mutual friends in common.

I didn't like randomly find her.

Kendall Schmidt who was on Big Time Rush,

this like Nickelodeon show,

he was kind of the linking factor.

I saw that he was friends with her,

and we kinda became friends through him.

He thought we would get along, and he was right.

But we became like MySpace friends,

and then our first hang out was at Disneyland.

We were like super, super tight when we were teenagers,

and then kind of lost touch.

And then Pretty Little Liars brought us back together.

But we met on MySpace.

It's really weird actually.

How does Lucy, [paper rips] oh sorry,

really not that good at this, okay, there we go.

How does Lucy Hale stay in shape?

I'm one actually one of those people

I really enjoy working out.

I love getting up at six A.M. in the morning,

and I just get it out of the way.

And it just makes me feel better about life in general.

What else do I like to do?

Hike, I have a great trainer named Adam.

I don't know.

I like to switch it up.

How to get Lucy Hale hair?

How to get Lucy Hale hair?

How I get my hair the way it looks I have no idea

because I never do it.

When you see me for events or on camera,

it's never me doing it.

It's always someone else.

I've tried to achieve the look.

I end up burning my hair off.

It's just never good.

I know how to do a low pony, and that's about it.

I can put a headband on.

I did once, I was probably like eight or nine,

and I've always had these baby hairs

that like won't grow out past like two inches.

And I was like well if I shave them off

they'll never come back.

Well as we know that if you shave something off

it does grow back, and so for like a good couple of months

I had like tiny, tiny bangs but just right here.

Last one.

Where was Lucy Hale born?

I was born in Memphis, Tennessee,

and I lived there until I was 15.

Somehow convinced my mom to move to L.A.

with me for a pilot season, and I'm still here.

But yeah, my family's all still there.

I love it.

I love Memphis so much that I name my dog Elvis

after Elvis Presley.

I still say y'all like when I get, like if I get mad

I'll be like I'm tired, tired.

Southern is a lazier way of speaking

because when I moved to L.A. I had to lose my accent.

So I went to, it's called an accent reduction coach.

They give you like a diagram, like a diagram of a tongue

and where your tongue should hit your mouth.

And so I had to learn to like enunciate,

and my accent reduction coach told me to not listen

to my mom because she is like

the sweetest, most southern lady ever.

And so now I did a movie last year

where I had to get a southern accent back,

and you would think it'd be easier

but it was actually harder because

for so long I was telling my brain not to speak this way.

It's a little sad.

Now I just have like a neutral accent.

Where did Lucy Hale grow up?

Half Memphis, Tennessee, half L.A.,

moved to L.A. when I was 15 like I said.

Kinda got the best of both worlds.

Where did Lucy Hale go to high school?

I was homeschooled for high school.

I have never stepped foot into a high school before.

I did it all.

I was the valedictorian of my class.

I was the best of everything in my class

'cause it was a class of one.

Where does Lucy Hale live?

[laughs] Like give my full address, no.

I live part time L.A., part time New York,

part time Memphis.

So I feel lucky.

I'm like bi-coastal, and it's very fun and exciting.

Okay guys, I hope you learned a thing or two about me,

and thanks for watching.
