00:00When you're shopping with Hailey Bieber, you think you can afford things you can't.
00:03Hi, I'm Owen Thiel and I'm on InStyle's 2026 Breakthrough List.
00:08The first role I ever had was in I Think You Should Leave,
00:11My Favorite Show Ever by Tim Robinson, who's a genius.
00:14I probably was just starved for attention at a really young age.
00:18And I realized that when I danced on a table, my mom would give me treats.
00:22I love Indie Navarrete. I think she's a genius and I love that movie.
00:26The one job I can secure is playing myself.
00:30So I would love to play myself in my own biopic.
00:32But if someone had to, like Michael B. Jordan, he looks like me.
00:39I was with my friend who happens to be Hailey Bieber.
00:42She convinced me to buy a bag.
00:45When you're shopping with Hailey Bieber, you think you can afford things you can't.
00:48I'm returning the bag.
00:49It would be a Sabrina Carpenter song or a Taylor Swift song.
00:53F***.
00:54Maybe it would be Life of a Showgirl.
00:55Because they're both on it.
00:56I get to hear both their voices, their songwriting.
01:00I think it'd be a collab.
01:02Probably Dula Peep.
01:03It always comes up for me.
01:05I'm gay, if you didn't know.
01:07So a lot of shirtless men.
01:11Shirtless men lifting weights.
01:13And shirtless men doing push-ups.
01:15And shirtless men getting dressed.
01:18Jennifer Lopez's Plunge.
01:20The really low plunge.
01:21Iconic.
01:22The Emmys for knowing my name.
01:24My mom, my dad, and my boyfriend for also putting up with me.
01:28And my publicist for getting me this.
01:31I was in a show called Dollface with Kat Dennings, who I am obsessed with.
01:36I was on a group call with my best friend Molly Gordon and my boyfriend Jared Elner.
01:41I was driving.
01:41Of course, I'm always driving while FaceTiming.
01:44I was just really excited.
01:45Almost crashed.
01:46It's so discouraging so much of the time.
01:49And then at one point, there's something that's encouraging that gets you to keep going.
01:54You'll get there.
