“Ahh~” Finally, when the guest interview session came, Alice couldn’t help but scream when she saw Claire running out from the backstage.

“Alice, please keep your voice down!” Alice’s brother and sister were dragged over by their sister Alice to watch TV. complained the impatient sister.

“Okay, okay, I’ll try my best to control it!” Alice patted her chest, remained calm, and concentrated on watching the program.

The program team of “The Tonight Show” is still very dedicated. They even found two commercials and promotional posters that Claire shot for McDonald’s children’s meals and displayed them on site.

“Oh my gosh, Claire was so cute when she was a kid. She almost melted!” Alice still couldn’t suppress her excitement. “It’s true that she has grown from being handsome since she was a little girl~” In the show, Claire looked at her eight-year-old self on the big screen

Jay Leno cueed Claire’s swimming again, “I heard that you are still a swimming champion?” ”

Wow!” The audience was very impressed and interacted with her.

“Well, I just won the gold medal in California.” Claire was a little modest.

“But I’m curious, how did you learn to swim, and the key is to get to the professional level?” host Jay Leno continued to ask.

? Claire still needs to lose weight?” Alice heard. Here, something is going crazy. “Claire is not fat at all. His figure is so perfect! I have seen it with my own eyes!” She was talking about the Claire she saw during the last road show in Los Angeles.

“Alice, shut up!” Alice’s sister threw a pillow at her, “Quietly watch TV!”

…

In the show, Claire was sharing with the audience an interesting story about the first time he and Coach Wilson met. The host Jay Leno was on the sidelines and gave everyone a popular science about the swimming results that Coach Wilson once achieved.

When the audience heard that a former world championship champion was chasing Claire to become a coach, they had a more intuitive feeling about Claire’s swimming performance: This kid’s talent seems really good, you haven’t seen that other people are competing for world championships. Be a teacher!

At the end of the topic, Claire also announced that she will participate in the 800-meter freestyle at the National Swimming Championships at the end of this month. Everyone is welcome to watch the competition live!

…

“I’m going! I’m going!” When Alice heard this, she immediately jumped up from the sofa and shouted to her mother in the kitchen: “Mom, I want to go to Orlando, Florida at the end of the month to watch the National Swimming Championships. !”

“National Swimming Championships?” Alice’s mother poked her head out of the kitchen, “Alice, you don’t like swimming, why do you want to watch it live? Just watch it live on TV!” “I like swimming! Ever

since From now on, my favorite sport is swimming!” Alice solemnly swore, “Please, Mom, I want to go see…” “Mom, don’t listen to

her nonsense!” Alice’s brother interjected. : “She doesn’t like swimming. She likes a star, so she wants to go to Orlando to chase stars!” ”

Orlando is really too far away. I really don’t trust you, Alice!” Alice’s mother said with a confused look on her face. .

“Alice, come here!” Alice’s sister couldn’t stand it anymore and dragged Alice towards the bedroom.

“Hey, wait! I still want to watch the show!”

“Just a moment! Let you out right away!”

Alice’s sister stood in the bedroom and said seriously: “Alice, do you know anything about it? Flying from Sacramento to Florida , don’t you know how expensive the round-trip air ticket is? And I don’t trust you to go alone, so I have to accompany you. The travel expenses and accommodation expenses along the way will be a huge burden on my mother!” Hearing my sister’s scolding

, Alice looked ashamed. She lowered her head and didn’t dare to speak.

“I don’t object to chasing stars. Everyone has their favorite idols. But chasing stars requires rationality and you have to act within your ability, you know!” Sister tidied Alice’s messy hair, “Let’s go out! Don’t make it difficult for mom.”

On the TV, the program continues to play.

As the senior show host, Jay Leno continues to firmly control the rhythm of the show.

At this time, an authorized clip of the film clip was displayed on the big screen, which was the London premiere.

“Claire, in the movie “Billy Elliot”, you performed the final ballet performance yourself.” Jay Leno asked, “As far as I know, you have never received professional ballet training since you were a child. You How could it be so perfect in such a short period of time?”

Claire said with a smile: “Maybe it’s because my body is naturally more flexible, and I met a good teacher-Teacher Tracy. During the training before the filming of the movie, he taught me very seriously.” ”

Also, because the main purpose of training is for the movie, the path we chose is more of a ‘crash’, specifically focusing on that dance. So until now, I have I only know how to dance that one dance and nothing else.” After Claire finished speaking, she shrugged with a look of helplessness on her face.
