KW: What do you like most about the story in the new Spy Kids movie?
- Rowan: My favorite part of the story is probably when I reunite with my stepmother because we really don’t have a good relationship in the movie until the very end when we learn that we’re always going to be family and we’re always going to have to put up with each other, and you know what, I turn out to love her.
KW: What was the funniest thing that happened during filming?
- Rowan: Probably when we were in the last week and we were all giving each other gifts, going away gifts, and Mason [Cook] my co-star gave the hairstylist this like dog, a fake little statue of a dog, in Austin there are there were all these little tsotchke stores and he gave it to the hairstylist and she like, freaked out, it was all a joke.
