Kode | You’ve had an amazing career and you’re just getting started. How does it feel to be Disney’s teen queen?
Peyton | Thank you so much. It feels incredibly surreal. Ever since I can remember, I’ve been watching Disney Channel and have always dreamed of doing my own wand ID. If only I had known that they’re actually more difficult than they look!
Kode | What got you started into the acting world?
Peyton | I started in print from a young age. I had these little Shirley Temple curls and huge personality which then got me into commercials, as I got older I fell into acting.
Kode | Where do you see yourself next in your career?
Peyton | We have a couple of months off in between seasons of filming Bunk’d, so it would be ideal to do a movie in between then. I see myself balancing my movie and TV career.
Kode | What’s your astrological sign, and what does it say about you?
Peyton | Funny you asked, because I’m super into astrology. I’m an Aries, so my sign is a ram. We are known for being strong, curious, adventurous, and the life of the party. I look at the app “Daily Horoscope” every day.
Kode | How do you manage your personal life with your career? Does it ever get overwhelming?
Peyton | To be honest, there are definitely moments when it does get overwhelming. My friends outside of the business might not always understand how busy I can be when I’m on set, or I’ll have to miss something because I’m filming. However, on Bunk’d, I’ve been becoming especially good friends with Miranda who plays my best friend on screen. It’s nice because we can have sleepovers between
filming days and ride into work together. I also have family dinners every night when I get home with my parents and brothers, which I treasure so much. They keep me sane.
Kode | Is there a dream role that you would love to have?
Peyton | The book “Before I Fall” is one of my favorite books, and I think it would be such an awesome project to be a part of.
Kode | What’s your ideal day?
Peyton | I would love to wake up early and go to my barre class, get an acai bowl, go to set, snuggle with my dog in between takes, go out to get Mexican food with my friends afterward, and then read a book and go to bed.
Kode | Describe your personal style in 3 words
Peyton | Chic, confident, and effortless.
Kode | #WetHot: If you could choose any other career besides acting, what would it be?
Peyton | I love fashion and would love to design my own clothing line one day.
