Mod Sun wasnt planning to act inGood Mourning, the stoner comedyhe co-wrote withbest friend Machine Gun Kelly.
Totally could have gotten away with not doing that!
Chalk it up to Mods commitment to his first major film.
Also a testament to Mods commitment?
Getting his fiancee, Avril Lavigne, involved in the project for a cameo as herself.
(His character thinks Lavigne wrote Sk8er Boi about him.)
Hes like, Why not turn this into a movie?
And Im like, For sure, lets turn it into a movie!
The whole text-message thing, its all real.
And we did our best to stay as close to the truth as possible.
There wasnt a moment we also come to find that we think were funnier when were high.
What was that like for you?I got to witness the magic unfold.
All the greatest parts in the movie were completely off script.
That was the real job.
Thats amazing!We wrote this bit before me and her were even dating.
Which is so crazy like, so much of this movie was the art imitating life.
And it took a little convincing.
Shes like, I dont even kiss people in my music videos.
She was just down for the cause, man.
She was like, Anything to support your art, Mod.
I was like, We didnt get the kiss right, lets do it again!
Is Sk8er Boi your favorite Avril song?Sk8er Boi and the song What the Hell.
Both are my favorites.
Its such a treat being on tour with the person you love.
Its kind of like a honeymoon for us.

I think it was quite natural for us to get in front of the camera and be idiots.
You put out a new song earlier this year, and its a lighter one.
Theres a growth in what Im talking about thematically.
In alternative music or pop punk, its a lot of sadness and depression.
Im about to give the world a very, very optimistic, light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel pop in of song.
Until you achieve something, it almost might seem impossible.
I think that timing is always perfect.
