Ariana Greenblatt is a self-proclaimed queen of spoilers, so she wouldn’t be surprised if she found herself in a situation (again) where she accidentally leaked something about one of her films. The ‘Borderlands’ actress gets candid in our new series, “If It Were Me,” where she answers hypothetical questions that are totally not based on anything real, promise . Watch as Ariana explains how she got ahead of the haters and turned herself into a meme with her berries and cream inspired outfit and confesses she wouldn't be caught dead hanging around a carpet if she got booed. And would she ditch her prior commitments to follow her passion, like Gabriella almost missing the scholastic decathlon in ‘High School Musical?’ Yeah, she’s singing with Troy.
Watch ‘Borderlands’ in theaters August 9th.

00:00Um, I'm not Olivia Rodrigo.
00:02Sorry, love driver's license.
00:05Hi, Cosmo, I'm Ariana Greenblatt.
00:07Today, I'll be going through some famous scenarios
00:10and telling you how I would handle them.
00:13This is If It Were Me.
00:16Okay, so the first set of scenarios
00:17are based on pop culture.
00:20Dakota Johnson said,
00:21the Nepo Baby debate is lame and boring.
00:24If people try to discredit your success
00:26by calling you a Nepo Baby,
00:28how would you handle the criticism?
00:30They do.
00:31They do.
00:32Don't know why, don't know how.
00:34It's funny, because the internet,
00:35you can't really defend yourself,
00:38because then it's just kind of embarrassing.
00:40So, I just hear noise and la la la la la.
00:43There's not much you can do.
00:45But also, if you worked hard, go off.
00:48In Euphoria, Cassie secretly starts dating
00:51Maddie's ex behind her back.
00:54How would you handle your best friend doing this to you?
00:57Ha ha!
00:58LOL.
01:00I think I'd handle it just how Maddie did.
01:03Beat a bitch up.
01:05Yeah, no, I might throw hands.
01:08I actually would be more upset that my best friend did it.
01:10I wouldn't really care about the ex.
01:12Be like, okay, goodbye.
01:13But that's betrayal.
01:15Has anything like this ever happened to you?
01:17I've been a witness to it happening before.
01:19I'm like, tee, tee, tee, tee.
01:20But absolutely not, thank God.
01:22Also, my best friends, we have very different types,
01:25so I'll never have to worry about that.
01:27My best friend definitely likes the nerdy vibe,
01:29but I kind of like the more like,
01:31have a tattoo, you know what I mean?
01:33Tom Holland is infamously known
01:36for accidentally revealing Marvel spoilers.
01:39What would you do if you leaked a major spoiler
01:42to one of your blockbuster films?
01:44I feel like I have before.
01:46I'm like, queen spoiler.
01:48I feel like it only happens on live,
01:50and I never try to do that.
01:52But I remember a couple years ago,
01:53I went live and leaked something about Borderlands,
01:56and I was like, oh, I gotta go.
02:00But I think the hardest thing to keep a secret in general
02:02was probably the episode I did for Star Wars,
02:05because I was doing stunt training in London by myself,
02:09filming Barbie in a London park to go home and then film it.
02:13And everyone was like, why do you have foam lightsabers?
02:15I'm like, I don't know, it's just a hobby.
02:17Like, leave me alone.
02:18In High School Musical, Gabriella had to choose
02:21between the musical with Troy or the Scholastic Decathlon
02:24if it were you.
02:27Would you ditch your prior commitment
02:27to follow your passion?
02:29Yeah.
02:31I am singing with Troy.
02:33I'm not doing the Decathlon, absolutely.
02:35Honestly, if something comes up and you're like,
02:37I can't not, then do it.
02:39Follow your passion, whatevs.
02:41I know she's not gonna regret not going
02:43to the Scholastic Decathlon, so she'll be good.
02:47In The Kardashians, Kim told Kourtney
02:50that she is the least interesting to look at.
02:53Like, hell no.
02:55If your sister said that to you on TV,
02:57how would you respond?
02:58If I had a sister and she said that to me on TV,
03:00I'd be like, goodbye.
03:01I'd be pretty mad.
03:02I don't know how Kourtney handled that.
03:04If you're like, debating with someone
03:05and you go for physical appearance,
03:07ha, you lost, take the O.
03:09That is it for the pop culture section.
03:12These scenarios are based off of hypothetical situations,
03:15not based off of anyone real or any real things
03:18that have happened, I promise.
03:21All right, so your boyfriend does an interview
03:24and says that he's more of the catch in the relationship.
03:27How would you respond if your significant other
03:29said this about you?
03:33I'd be like, I beg to differ,
03:35because that's just wrong, and he'd be lying.
03:38You develop feelings for your co-star
03:40and confess your love, but they don't feel
03:43the same about you.
03:45How do you continue working with them?
03:47See, this is something you'll never catch me doing.
03:50Mm-mm, I will never, I could be in love with you,
03:52but I'm not gonna tell you until we're wrapped,
03:55and there's not a sequel or a season two,
03:57like goodbye, you know what I mean?
03:58But it's not cute or fun if it goes wrong,
04:03but me, I'm in my la-la land all the time.
04:05I could work with anybody, and I mean,
04:07usually they're literally adults,
04:09so I'm like, hey, mom and dad,
04:10but if I were to work with a teenage boy...
04:15Anywho, don't do it, okay?
04:18Make your project, talk to your hair and makeup people
04:21about it, and move on, that's what I do.
04:25You show up to the premiere of your friend's film
04:28and get booed while walking the carpet
04:29because they don't want you there?
04:31Uh-uh, how would you respond to the haters?
04:34If I heard a boo that was to me,
04:37you bet your bottom dollar I'm leaving.
04:39I'm going home, okay?
04:41I'll text my friend, congrats boo-thing.
04:44Why are we booing?
04:45Like, we're not in a cartoon.
04:46Like, I think of booing as like a cartoon,
04:47like, let's wake up, we're in real life, knock knock.
04:51I don't need to be anywhere, I'm not wanted.
04:53That is my rule.
04:54If I'm in a room and I'm not wanted,
04:56let's not waste my time and energy.
04:59Okay, someone approaches you
05:00and says they're your biggest fan,
05:02but you realize they're confusing you,
05:04ah, with another A-lister.
05:06How do you handle the situation?
05:09I'd be like, I'm their biggest fan too,
05:12and I understand where you're coming from,
05:14and I'm sorry I'm not her,
05:16and I hope this was a lovely experience for you.
05:19Would you ever pretend to just be that person
05:21and make them happy?
05:22No.
05:23The only time I was, like, confused for somebody else,
05:26I was with Maddie Ziegler at Jingle Ball iHeart Radio,
05:28and we were presenting Sabrina Carpenter.
05:30I was walking with Maddie,
05:31and I think they thought I was Olivia Rodrigo,
05:33because I had my hair, like, down and, like, a red lip,
05:36and I was like, um, I'm not Olivia Rodrigo.
05:40Sorry, love driver's license.
05:43No.
05:45You realize the guy you've been seeing
05:47sold a story to TMZ about you being a diva on set.
05:51How would you confront him?
05:53I'd be like, not that she's muscle, like, what is this?
05:56I think I'd be like, you liar and a fraud,
05:59you snake, how dare you?
06:00And then I'd be like, bet that up, game time,
06:04and I'd start a war,
06:05and I'd tell someone he, like, smells or something.
06:09But I'm not a diva, so he'd be a liar and a cheat.
06:12Your outfit for a red carpet is going viral online,
06:16and being turned into a meme.
06:19How do you handle people mocking you?
06:21That's kind of a nightmare for me.
06:23You're a meme?
06:24Like, people, no, can't do that.
06:25Never step foot out of the house again.
06:27Fashion is subjective, so I could see something,
06:29and I'm like, wow, that's hideous,
06:30and then another, great, camp, love that so much.
06:33So I guess just, like, go back to the drawing board,
06:37and sit down with your stylist and be like,
06:39what did you do to me?
06:40I made myself a meme,
06:42because I just wore this sick Tom Brown outfit,
06:44but then I was like, the inspo was the little lad.
06:47He was like, berries and cream, berries and cream.
06:50I got ahead of the haters.
06:51That is what I would do if it were me.
06:54Don't take my advice.
06:55Go watch Borderlands.
06:57I love you all so much.
06:59Mwah!
