Catching Up with Bella Thorne

Bella Thorne is on the cover of this month's Galore Magazine. Here's what she had to say:


What’s it like dating a British guy?

"It’s funny. One time he told me, “So what are you gonna get me for my birthday? Winky face.” And I was like, “A dialect coach.” And he was like, “What’s a dialect coach? Why would you get me that?” And I was like, “Because you have a horrid accent.” He was so offended that he was like, “But, but, girls love my accent. They love that I’m British.” And I’m like, “Oh, here we go. Well, I guess I’m not basic then.” I do like his accent, because it’s very—I’m not a huge fan of accents in general. It’s not my main thing—but his is really nice, really soft, and he’s been here for so long [that] a lot of British people have no idea he’s British. He has to kind of ‘put on’ his accent, [make it] a little bit thicker, because he does an American accent on his show all the time, every day. It’s kind of seeped its way into his."

Do you ever accidentally pick his accent up, Madonna-style? Omg!
"No way. No, because I think I sound really silly when I do it, so I just like really won’t go near the accent at all. But Bella P, my best friend, every time she’s around Gregg, she goes full-on British and it sounds so bad; and Gregg is like looking at her as she’s like having a conversation with him and trying to do his accent, and I’m like, “Bella, stop! Nobody wants to hear that. Stop!”"

What are your acting goals over the long term? 
"Yeah, I definitely want to win an Oscar. When I was watching the Oscars the other night, I was thinking the whole entire time, “Wow! One day that’s going to be me, and I know what I’m gonna say when I get up there: ‘HFS I just won an Oscar!’” I know you’re not supposed to curse on the stage at the Oscars, but I will do it because I will be the rule-breaker. How do you not produce a sentence of curses when you just won an Oscar? It’s so crazy, you have to. I have another film [coming out] I didn’t mention, which is “XO”. It’s about aliens, and it’s really cool. It’s with Jack Kilmer, Val Kilmer’s son, and he’s so interesting and Indie. It’s about aliens. It’s going to be dope. It’s an action alien type."

When people are in their squad and stuff, how much is PR and how much is people enjoying hanging out with each other?
"I think they originally hang out because of PR and end up genuinely liking each other and they actually end up hanging out. At first, it’s more of a PR stunt, but you know, you never know when you’re like, “Wow, I actually like you. You’re actually a cool person.” So I’m sure all those girls figured that out when they started fake hanging out, and then they’re like, “Wow, you ARE cool.”
I can’t speak for anyone else. I have no idea. I don’t know that I’ve ever taken a photo with somebody famous to like, get people to talk about it. The only time that I ever do that is when I’m with Zendaya, because I’ll take a Snapchat because I know our fans love us together and they don’t get to see us together often anymore. We’re already hanging out anyway just because we’re chill with each other, but I’ll take a Snap to make them happy. Because it’s like, “Aw, they’re together again. It’s so cool,” and now we’re women, grown women."

Does it bother you when people say that girls are bitchy? 
"I don’t get offended because girls are really mean. I will say—no matter where you go in life, it’s high school everywhere. I’m sure in the work office, for you, there’s high school [drama], and there’s one girl who’s bitchier than everybody. Girls are just mean and so competitive—it’s so crazy. I grew up hanging out with guys because I’m a tomboy. My boyfriend all the time is like, “I swear to God you were born a boy.” I’m very chill in that way, and other girls sometimes get really, really like, competitive and catty and who likes who? You like him? Too bad. I like him. We’re going to have a problem now. And for me, especially since I’m in a relationship, I’m like, “It’s really not that big of a deal.” But I randomly meet girls, [like] Samara. I met her on “The Babysitter,” which will be coming out this year too, and she’s such a homey. As soon as I met her, I was like, “Oh, you’re mine. You will be mine.” We’re still friends. And Mae Whitman and stuff, that just don’t care; Liana Labrada—she’s just so chill and cool. Those are the girls I hang out with. Chloe Moretz—she’s chill too, and really tomboyish like me. Those are the only girls I really hang out with in the business for that exact reason. I just chill with them and don’t have to go to a party or club or fancy dinner at The Chateau. I’m just chilling at my place ordering California Pita."
