Nine year-old Yara Shahidi stars in Imagine That, the Eddie Murphy flick that hits theaters Friday, June 12. She stopped by the J-14 offices to talk about her character, Olivia, her chats with Eddie, her fave karaoke songs, and more!
J-14: Can you describe your character Olivia?
Yara: I liked Olivia because she's quirky like me! The only really big difference would be age-wise and sassiness -- she's a little sassy.
J-14: What was your fave part about working on Imagine That?
Yara: My favorite part would be working with Mr. Eddie because he's a really funny, nice guy. We would talk a lot, but 99% of the time, I would be talking to him about my history class that day because I'm a history addict.
J-14: What else do you like to study?
Yara: I like to study math -- that's my second favorite subject. I like math because it helps you around in life! I like taking the make your own sandwich menus and calculating how many sandwiches you can make! I calculated once, and it was like 3500 sandwiches!
J-14: What was your favorite imaginary scene from the movie?
Yara: The pancake scene, because Mr. Eddie gives me these little burnt pancakes when we're making the pancakes, and I get to put condiments on them. I put mustard, ketchup, hot sauce, and chocolate syrup on his pancakes!
J-14: You get to sing a Beatles song in this movie! Do you have a favorite karaoke song?
Yara: We had a karaoke party for my birthday! I sang "Hot and Cold" by Katy Perry and Beyoncé's "If I Were A Boy."

LMAO
omg she is sooooooooooooooooo cute!!!! she is sooooo little
Aww. She's cute. But what I don't get is why J-14 is talking to a 9 year old. I mean yeah she was in a movie but hello! J-14! 14!!
ok J-14 is not just for fourteen year olds. I will explain. the J stands for 'Just' and the 14 is supposed to be like 'for teens' so J-14 is the short way for Just For Teens Magazine. True she is only nine and thats not a teen but WHY NOT talk to her. she is sooo cute and when shes older she will probably end up in the mag.
aawww
omg leave her alone, one day shes gonna be your age, so might as well talk to her now, shes 9 not 5, its not like shes acting stupid or anything, gosh..
