Chandler and her co-stars love playing pranks on each other and she mentioned some even include Oreos with ranch dressing replacing the cream! YUCK! But they also have a fun game where they secretly put clothes pins on each other. It sounds like they work hard and play hard while on set!

One thing I had to ask the up-and-coming star was about making GAP’s “Talk to the Moose” commercial. Personally, it was one of my favorite commercials that holiday season and I drove my family nuts singing it. She said it was filmed on Sony’s lot and that they actually built the cabin on the sound stage. The cabin was also tilted so they could slide. She said it was a lot of fun and they girls where great to work with. It also happens to be her first commercial she ever did!

 

I asked her who she would love to work with in the future, she mentioned Lupita Nyong’o because she is so beautiful and eloquent.

When chandler isn’t acting, she loves dancing, writing in her journals, or practicing Tae Kwon Do, where she is a black belt first degree. She’s even a Black Belt! Watch out!

Even at such a young age, Chandler is already helping others and giving back. She sponsors a child in Ethiopia where they are pen pals and she can help support her with things like health care. She also makes no-sew blankets she delivers to foster children.
