What is up Daddy Gang? It is your founding father, Alex Cooper, with Call Her Daddy.

Misha Barton, welcome to Call her Daddy.

Thank you. Thanks for having me.

I'm so happy we're finally doing this.

I know.

We've, like, wanted to do this for so long, and our schedules have been shit, and we're finally here. We're on the couch. We're cozy. We're ready to go. We're doing it. So, Daddy Gang, we're currently in New York, which is where you grew up, and kind of, like, where you really, I feel, like, got your start. Do you plan on staying here long term? Like, is New it for you i love new york i mean i just feel

more at home here i've actually i mean this last year like since we first started talking like i've

been spending a lot of time in london and europe again but like i get that kind of those kind of vibes

when i'm in new york and i get the culture and I, you know,

I started in the theater. I love being able to like go to the theater all the time and like hang out in the cute little bookshops and I love like the village where I live. It's romantic and cute. It is. It's magical. I used to live here and like every time I come back, I'm like, I miss you. You're an East Coast girl, right? Pennsylvania. But you were born in London? Yes, yeah. No, I was born in London and then we moved to New York when I was five and a half. So I actually had like a little British accent and the whole thing when I was a kid and had to lose it. I got teased mercilessly in school.

Was that actually a good thing sometimes for work? Would they be like do a British accent

and you could or do an American and you could? Yeah, I still do. I mean, I'm very grateful for it

because when I went to like, they had to send me to a speech coach to like get a proper transatlantic

accent. So I don't. Be a valley girl bitch like get a proper transatlantic accent.

So I don't be a valley girl bitch. You're like, oh God. Well, that was that's really hard for

believe it or not. That's more complicated. It took living in LA for years to be able to

understand what that even was. Because I only moved to LA for the OC. So like they were like, they would always be like, can you sound more like, you know, you're from the valley or more Orange County? And I was like, I don't actually, like, I've never been to Orange County. I don't actually, like, you know what that is. You know, it's weird, though, listening to Talk. You're so right. You have this, this like eloquent tiny twang underneath and it is clearly from that like English background.

You got a great voice.

Going back to the beginning, what were you like as a kid?

I was pretty serious and very shy at first.

So like I was like painfully shy, kind of awkward, I guess.

Like, not very, um, but very serious.
