HI CHARLOTTE! YOU’VE HAD SUCH A BUSY CAREER ALREADY WITH ROLES IN TV SHOWS LIKE “FOUND” AND “AVERAGE JOE,” AND NOW YOU’RE IN “COBRA KAI”! WHAT’S IT LIKE BEING A PART OF SUCH POPULAR SHOWS AT YOUR AGE?
Being part of such popular shows like Cobra Kai and Found is really cool because I love seeing how these shows are made and what goes on behind the scenes. I think I may want to be a director one day when I grow up. Or a pet sitter.
YOUR ROLE AS LILY LOUD IN “A LOUD HOUSE CHRISTMAS” HAS BEEN A BIG HIT. WHAT DO YOU ENJOY MOST ABOUT PLAYING LILY?
Lily was so much fun because I had a big brother and 9 big sisters! I loved playing with them when we weren’t filming and we really got along. I also liked when everyone would laugh if someone messed up their lines. The dad, played by Brian Stepanek, was so funny!! I also got to play in real fake snow!
CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER, YOUNG TORY, IN “COBRA KAI”? WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF FILMING THAT ROLE?
Young Tory is a girl who loves her mom and wants to keep her safe. They live by themselves and she wants to protect her with a magic jewel she made.
YOU’RE ALSO GOING TO BE IN “THE AIR HE BREATHES.” WHAT CAN YOU SHARE WITH US ABOUT THAT MOVIE AND YOUR ROLE IN IT?
The Air He Breathes is actually based on a book written by Brittainy Cherry. It is about a woman named Liz, who has a daughter named Emma, played by me. After Emma’s father dies, they move back home to her grandmother’s house. Her mom meets a neighbor, Tristan, who is also grieving after his wife and son dies. They end up spending lots of time together and lots exciting things happen. Tristan has a dog named Zeus, who was so much fun to film with!
WE HEAR YOU LOVE GYMNASTICS! HOW DO YOU BALANCE YOUR ACTING CAREER WITH YOUR GYMNASTICS PRACTICE?
It is hard to balance my gymnastics and acting when I am filming a project but it is also fun to do both. If I miss a practice, I like to work on my stretching and skills at home or when we are traveling. Maybe one day I will get to use my gymnastics to film a show or movie.
CHARLOTTE, YOU SPREAD SO MUCH POSITIVITY THROUGH YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA. CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE MOMENTS WHERE YOU FELT YOUR POSITIVITY REALLY MADE A DIFFERENCE TO SOMEONE?
I don’t know about one time where I helped someone feel better. But I do love it when people recognize me out in public and tell me how much they love watching my videos and that makes them feel happy and ready for the day. That makes me feel happy.
YOU HAVE A HUGE FOLLOWING ON INSTAGRAM! WHAT DO YOU ENJOY MOST ABOUT CONNECTING WITH YOUR FANS ON SOCIAL MEDIA?
I love to make people feel happy through instagram because it makes me feel happy. I also love making people laugh on instagram and in real life. I love telling jokes and riddles.
GIVING BACK SEEMS IMPORTANT TO YOU. CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT YOUR WORK WITH CHILDREN’S HEALTHCARE OF ATLANTA AND WHY IT’S MEANINGFUL TO YOU?
I was so excited that I was able to help Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. We raised money by selling t-shirts with some of my popular quotes and doing some cameo videos. Then we took $1,000 and spent it at Target on lots of fun things for the kids at the hospital. We bought crayons, card games, squishamellows, legos and other fun things to make them happy while they are in the hospital. I hope I get to do it again one day.
CHARLOTTE, WHEN YOU’RE NOT BUSY ACTING OR DOING GYMNASTICS, WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE MEAL TO EAT? DO YOU HAVE A SPECIAL DISH YOU LOVE?
My favorite meal to eat is peanut toast and pizza! I love getting pizza especially when we are traveling. My favorite treat to eat after dinner is Golden Oreos!
WE KNOW YOU’RE QUITE ACTIVE WITH GYMNASTICS AND ACTING, BUT WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE GAME TO PLAY WITH YOUR FRIENDS OR FAMILY WHEN YOU HAVE FREE TIME?
I love playing board games with my sisters. My favorite game right now is Clue. I like being Mrs. Peacock because she has pretty hair. I like trying to trick my sisters to help win the game although I don’t win very much. But it’s still fun.
