Halle Bailey Talks First Love & Solo Music Over Vegan Bites | Takes Us Out
Halle Bailey takes Tetris out for a vegan lunch at H.O.P.E. Healthy Organic Positive Eating! While nibbling, they chat about the highs and lows of her first solo album, ‘Love? Or Something Like It,’ new collaborations with her girls, the legacy of ‘The Little Mermaid’ and growing up in the industry.
Halle Bailey:
Hi! Welcome!
Tetris Kelly:
Thanks for hanging out with me today.
Of course, thanks for having me here.
It’s like, what they know about you, we’re about to find out, okay? All right, Ms. Bailey, tell me about H.O.P.E. What is your connection to this restaurant?
Oh my goodness, okay. So, I was vegan when I first moved out to California about, oh my gosh, like, 14 years ago now. Geez, it’s been a long time since I’ve been here!
You’re a local now!
I was vegan for 13 years, but now I’m not anymore. When I got pregnant, I wanted to eat meat. But this place? I still go to this place. I swear by it—it’s so good. So, the fact that we’re here today is really freaking awesome, so thanks.
I love that. And then you said that when you got pregnant, you wanted meat. What was the first thing you needed so badly?
I needed… Oh, why are we saying this in this restaurant?
Oh, sorry.
It was Chick-fil-A nuggets.
You’re right, you’re right. Okay, I just needed to know—for my own research. I needed to know what the item was. Hey, how’s it going?
Waitress:
Hi! Great!
Okay, so can we please start with your spring rolls, then your green curry dumplings, and your Muay Thai wings, because I want him to try it just to see.
Waitress:
Of course.
Keep watching for more!
