- All right, well NatashaBure joins me now.
Natasha, it's so go to have you with us.
- Thanks for having me on.
- Yeah, all right, well as we mentioned,
your mother is Candace Cameron,
your father is an NHL player, Valeri Bure,
what was it like growing upin a celebrity household?
I mean, was John Stamos over,how about the Olsen twins?
Like, what was that like?
- Honestly, my childhood,
and even having parentsthat were celebrities,
it was very normal.
And I get a lot of questions about that,
I feel like people thinkit was very glamorous
and things like that,
but it was super normal
and I was grounded like every other kid.
I'm sure it was a little bit different
than a typical kid's experience,
because I was I guess, I don't know,
seeing different celebrities,of my parent's friends,
but other than that, very, very normal.
- Awesome, awesome.
Well as you've gotten older
and you've kind of gone your own way,
how have you kept faith thecentral part of your life?
Well my faith is the mostimportant thing in my life
and I grew up in a Christian household,
and my parents constantly takingus to church every Sunday,
I went to a Christian school,
so I've been surroundedby faith my entire life,
but that's not to say Ihaven't struggled with it
and I think as I've gotten older
my relationship with Christ
is just the thing that keeps me grounded
and it's definitely what'smost important to me,
and I just hope that I can just be a light
in a world that needs Jesus.
- Yeah, definitely.
Well you definitely are.
Well sometime after youjoined social media,
you say that it happened,which was getting bombarded
with pictures of air brushed reality,
and basically that's what social media is.
It's a false reality.
What did you do about that?
- It's hard.
Every day is a struggle.
I'd wake up and you seegirls on billboards,
and magazines, and Instagram
who have flawless skinand these perfect bodies,
there's not even a perfect body type,
but society kind of feeds you these images
and you start to compare.
And I think for me themost important thing
is just to appreciate thebody and the person that I am
and how God made me,
and I want to make sure
that I'm always preaching that message
to all the other girls,
that we just should love ourselves
and be just embracing who we are.
- I love that.
Well, I mean, social media ispowerful in really good ways,
but also in not so good ways.
How have you been able to stay grounded
while growing such a largefollowing and fan base?
- Honestly, I owe everythingto my relationship with God,
and my parents, and my family.
I'm super close with my parents,
and they've just raised me and brothers
in such an awesome way.
And luckily my mom's upbringing,
and both my dad's upbringing as well,
was just really, just reallyrooted in staying humble,
and having great support systems,
and they definitely brought that over
when raising me and my brothers,so I owe it all to them.
- So awesome.
Well let's talk about your movie.
Okay, so, it's called "Home Sweet Home",
it was released earlier this year
and in it you play a youngwoman named Victoria.
What can you tell usabout her and the film?
- Yeah, it's a cute little film.
Victoria, I play her,she is a flirty barista,
she's very self-centered and into herself.
And she's kinda used togetting a lot of guys,
and being in and out of relationships,
and while she's working she meets Jason,
who he works in ministry.
And she has no idea about ministry,
and she kind of gets overlooked,
she doesn't really get his attention.
And so, she tries to fake her way
through knowing all these things
about construction andministry to get his attention.
And the story unfolds
and she learns not only a lot about faith,
but about herself.
- I love that.
Well what advice would you give
to younger woman who arewanting to get in the industry?
- I don't know.
I honestly think it's hard
because I've always had mymom to just kind of guide me,
and if anything I've just learned
from watching her experience,
but I think just, if it'ssomething that you want to do
just really actively pursue it,
and especially because
there's just so manyplatforms that we have,
just to put yourself out there
and to say yes to every single opportunity
that you're given.
And knock on doors ifthere are opportunities
because if you want somethingyou've got to go get it.
- Yeah, definitely.
Well what is the message
that you want people to take away from
after watching the film?
- I think a great message isjust to embrace who you are,
but be okay with any stageof life that you're in.
I think a lot of timeswe as humans feel like
we always need to look likewe have it all together
when we definitely don't,
and we're all learning and growing,
and in the movie
Victoria definitely doesnot have it all together,
and she fakes her way.
And you know, I don't wantto, again, give it away,
but she learns a lot about herself,
and we all have to be okay
in the stage of life that we're in
and just be okay with growing.
- I love that, I love that.
Well, when did you get into acting?
How did this start?
Did you always know
that you were gonna followin your mom's footsteps?
- Yes and no.
I always loved entertainment,and acting, and singing.
When I was younger Iactually really wanted to be
a professional tennis player.
I trained at a really young age.
So probably until I was inlike beginning of high school
they were both like 50/50,
but I did commercials when I was younger
and then once I graduated high school
I decided to not go to college
and just pursue entertainment full time.
- I love that.
