We know Dylan Everett best as Carl from WINGIN’ IT, but this Friday, January 13, you’ll be able to catch him in Family Channel’s premiere of FRENEMIES! Dylan stars alongside Bella Thorne and Zendaya in this Disney Channel Original Movie and he recently gave us the details on his role, the movie and more.
Tell us about your character on FRENEMIES.
I play the role of Lance who is Emma’s boyfriend/love interest. Lance is the stereotypical cocky, self-centred rich kid with the biggest ego imaginable. Think of Richie Rich with a bigger sense of self-entitlement, and a lot less friends.
What makes your character similar or different from you?
I actually had a pretty hard time relating to Lance. He’s just so conceited and caught up in himself that I’m sure most people would have a hard time relating. I tend to be more on the shy side so when a role like Lance comes along, I really try to have fun with it.
How would you deal with a real-life frenemy?
I would deal with a frenemy with as little conflict as possible, so I would try to make amends with them as quick as I could. Nobody likes fighting with their friends.
What was it like working with Bella Thorne and Zendaya?
Unfortunately, I only had one scene with Bella and Zendaya, but even so I could tell that they were having fun and enjoying themselves. They brought so much energy to the set that it really kept everyone’s spirits up especially during long days of shooting. They’re just as great off set as well. They were both sweethearts and it was awesome to get to meet and work with them.
What’s the one scene you’re most excited for people to see from the movie?
Definitely when Lance face plants into the fountain of chocolate, because who doesn’t like seeing a villain getting what he deserves? Ha ha. I remember reading the script, stopping on that page and saying aloud to myself, “I’m not even surprised!”
