I have to also ask about iCarly — having been on that show when you were younger, and then coming back to play that same character as an adult for the reboot, what was the experience like since you kind of grew up with this character?
I will say it was very strange, like the first day when we got there and we saw all the sets built again, but the sets are all a little different, because it’s supposed to be like all this time has passed. So it was a kind of a crazy, almost felt like a social experiment (Laughs). I remember when I walked through the set with Jerry [Trainor] and Nathan [Kress], they were like, “This is so strange,” because it brings back so many things too about your childhood. Like, imagine walking back through the hallways of the high school that you went to and then you’re with all the people you were best friends with at the time walking through it for the first time in 10 years. It was really cool, but it’s definitely kind of strange and crazy and not something that I think everyone gets to experience. It was really fun getting to play that character again as an adult in a new environment and getting to actually have a say in what the character does and the scripts and the cast and all that stuff, that was really exciting.
I know there’s been talks of an iCarly movie to wrap up the series after it was canceled. Can you tease anything about that?
The script is almost finished and it looks like we’re gonna be filming it early next year, so I’m really excited. I think the biggest challenge now is gonna be casting the character that’s gonna be the mom because that’s a character I don’t think any of us ever really thought we were gonna meet within that universe, so we just really want to make sure we get it right.
