JustJaredJr.com: Hi Dylan! So tell us about the audition process for this role.

Dylan O’Brien: It was cool. It was just a regular couple reads, regular audition at first. You go through a casting director and then you get to the directors and producers. And reading with Vince was the highlight of that process. That was the last step. We all got to go in and audition with Vince. He was so cool in the room and so giving. He would just riff with you forever. It was my longest audition I think I ever had. And most of which was all made up. The audition should have only taken five minutes, technically, but then Vince would make it a whole thing and you would just go with him. He’d basically just see if you could hang, kind of. It was cool because a lot of what we said in the audition room made it into the movie and it kind of established our dynamic with them.

JJJ: You’ve been doing comedy back since your YouTube days, but that had to be pretty intimidating.

DO: Well, hell yeah (laughs)! Yeah, I’m comfortable improving, more so than having lines I think. But the Vince factor and just auditioning in general is very nerve-racking. Going into a room, you have like eight people looking at you and you’re sitting there, and you just have to do it. But what was so great was that it was such an awesome room. I was comfortable instantly. Once Vince starts riffing with you, you kind of settle in. The producers were all fun and great too. Everyone was just laughing. It was a lot of fun. Intimidating for maybe like a second, definitely. How could it not be? But then instantly comfortable and just a great time.

JJJ: You play a nice guy in most of your roles. Was it nice to play sort of a jerk in this film?

DO: Yeah, it was so much fun. That was intimidating at first. I was so afraid, like “Oh my God, I don’t know if I’m going to be able to pull this off.” The whole dynamic I established with Vince was that I just this jerk to him. And I was like, “Are people going to buy that?” But yeah, it was so much fun. And he does come around. Vince and Owen’s characters teach him to open up and let his guard down, let loose and have fun for a second and not be so uptight and dismissive of everyone around him.

JJJ: You look pretty good in those hipster glasses! Those were fake, right?

DO: Yeah, they were fake. When we went in for my first fitting, we were just like establishing what was happening and they were giving me this hipster-y vibe, all these layers with cardigans and stuff. I thought it was hilarious. And then so, the glasses for me, were just the classic top-off. I don’t know why, but it just so perfectly put together that sort of hipster-y… like “If I have to wear glasses, I want to make them cool glasses” thing, you know? Shawn [Levy] loved the lgasses too. So from then, we were just full-on with the glasses and the beanie too (laughs).

JJJ: If you could intern anywhere, where would it be?

DO: Google, for sure (laughs). If it’s anything like we shot, that’s the one to do. Just for the sake of answering the question, Google. I have no shot, obviously. But that would be even kind of fun going into with no shot because then it takes all the pressure off and I can just have fun (laughs).

Get Dylan O’Brien’s Interning Tips!

Choose Something You Love!
“Don’t just take an internship because all your friends are doing it or you need to do something during the summer. You have to want it! I’ve seen some of my friends end up miserable at their internships because they have no desire to work at the company. Choose something you genuinely love!”

Intern For Someone You Admire
“In real life, I’d love to intern for a director and see the other side of the industry. My life would be hell, but I’m sure I’d learn so much. I’d be a good way to shadow somebody who knows what they’re doing.”

What To Expect At Google
“Google is a fascinating place to intern. Everyone has their dogs in their offices. They have volleyball courts, bowling allies, and crazy bikes that fit eight people—they have meetings while they ride around!”

Dylan’s new movie The Internship is in theaters everywhere now!

Dylan O’Brien Interview with ContactMusic.com

‘Teen Wolf’ star Dylan O’Brien talks about his latest movie ‘The Internship’ which was filmed at the Google headquarters. He talks about what it was like filming there, his Google souvenirs and his upcoming movie projects.

‘Google is like one of the craziest places I’ve ever seen’, he says. ‘You can’t believe it actually exists and I was just so fascinated with everybody I talked to there too.’ Asked about his souvenirs from the set, he said: ‘I got a cool T-shirt that I was excited about. Not much else though. I think we did get a gift bag that I blanked on and I think I left it on set, I was really bummed about it.’ He also says that he’s shooting the movie adaptation of the James Dashner book trilogy ‘The Maze Runner’. ‘This is like one of the coolest things I’ve ever gotten to do’, he says.

Dylan O’Brien Interview with UInterview.com

Dylan O’Brien, 21, plays Google intern Stuart Twombly, who is competing for a full-time job against with Billy McMahon (Vince Vaughn) and Nick Campbell (Owen Wilson) in the new movie The Internship. Just don’t ask O’Brien if he wants to be a CEO — as one fan did recently in a new video interview with Uinterview.com. “If I could CEO in a company? Oh my…. Uh… uh… uh… what is, a CEO is, like, in charge of everything, right? Don’t put me in CEO,” O’Brien told Uinterview exclusively. “I can’t CEO at something, anything [laughs]. I shouldn’t be in charge of anybody. I don’t know, like a studio or something? Or some movies? [laughs] Can I direct movies in any way?”

He also doesn’t want to be an intern at Google. “I can relate to him in a lot of ways, and I can’t possibly relate to him in other ways, too,” O’Brien told Uinterview. “He’s you know, an MIT student. He has a really brilliant mind – I’ve never been of that caliber. He’s in a running for a job at Google, I could not do that, I don’t think. Actually, someone asked me that through twitter the other day, ‘Would you ever work at Google?’ And that’s how they phrase it to you. And it’s so funny because at first I was like, ‘Yeah!’ But then I was like #They won’t let me probably.”

O’Brien, who grew up in New Jersey, is best known for his role on MTV’s Teen Wolf. He will play Thomas in next year’s hotly anticpated film The Maze Runner.

Dylan O’Brien: My ‘Internship’ Experience Is Strip Clubs

Dylan O’Brien took a break from Teen Wolf to take on an internship, and not just any internship, but one with Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn.

The 21-year-old actor joined the comedic forces for The Internship, which revolves around two middle-aged men who attempt to prove they’re not obsolete by battling brilliant college students for a chance of an internship at Google.

So we had to ask, has Dylan ever interned in real life?

“No, I haven’t,” the actor laughs. ”I’m just 21 now, so my intern experience was literally shooting this movie, doing all the crazy stuff that we did. So basically like strip clubs and Quidditch, that’s what I think an internship consists of.”

Sounds like more fun than unpaid work to us!
Catch The Internship in theaters this Friday, June 7!
