Kira Kosarin of The Thundermans

This week, Tommy is joined by actress and recording artist Kira Kosarin, best known for her starring role in the smash-hit Nickelodeon television series, The Thundermans. The Thundermans is about a family with superpowers who try to live normal lives. Kira played Phoebe who dreams of being a superhero and using her powers for good, while her twin brother Max wants to be the next big supervillain and use his powers for evil. The series is now being rebooted as an all-new movie called The Thundermans Return, out now. Today, she opens up about what we can expect with the new movie, revisiting a character years later that she made peace with saying goodbye to, the emotional first day back on set, how slipping back into Phoebe’s shoes reinvigorated her love for acting, the fear that came with revisiting a beloved character, figuring out her place in Hollywood over the last few years after gaining so much success as a teenager, tuning out other people’s opinions and ideas of what her life should be, the importance of listening to our inner voice, and why pineapple on pizza is never a bad idea despite how polarizing it can be. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
