Tomorrow, 22nd August, sees the release of new film The Air He Breathes, in which Charlotte Ann Tucker is playing Emma, alongside Kelcie Stranahan as her on-screen mother Liz. The Air He Breathes will be shown on Passionflix, and is based on a book by best-selling author Brittainy Cherry. Further screen work for Charlotte includes playing Young Tory (Peyton List) in Series 6 of Cobra Kai, the recurring role of Donna in the TV series Average Joe, and guest-starring in the pilot episode of NBC’s Found as Sarah Holden. Charlotte made her first main role appearance at the age of four, when she played Lily Loud in Nickelodeon’s A Loud House Christmas, and she has unannounced upcoming projects including an ABC release in autumn (which she filmed in LA this summer), a small role in an episode of a popular Netflix show, and she will be appearing in a top secret role next year. We caught up with Charlotte about playing Emma in new film The Air He Breathes, her recurring role of Donna in Average Joe and filming as Lily Loud in A Loud House Christmas.

Can you tell us about the new film The Air He Breathes and your character Emma?

The Air He Breathes is a movie about a woman named Liz, who has a daughter named Emma, played by me. After Emma’s father dies, they move back home to her grandparents. They meet the next door neighbour, Tristan and he starts helping them out. He is sad because his wife and son died. Emma really likes him and his dog Zeus. It has a lot of sweet scenes and some sad ones but a really great story.

What was it like on the set of The Air He Breathes and what are some of your favourite highlights from filming?

I had so much fun on the set of The Air He Breathes. All the cast and crew were so nice. They surprised me with donuts for breakfast and two birthday cakes on my birthday. One of my favourite things to do on filming days was actually school. It was the first time I had to do set school and I loved my teachers. We did all sorts of fun things like going outside and learning about insects and building with magnetic blocks.

What was Emma like to play and how was it acting alongside Kelcie Stranahan, who plays your on-screen mother?

It was pretty easy to play Emma, because she is a lot like me. She likes to explore and she loves dogs. Kelcie was so nice to film with. We sang and danced together and she even crawled under a table to help me scare Faye.

The Air He Breathes releases on 22nd August on Passionflix, who do you think will enjoy watching it?

I can’t wait for the premiere on August 22nd. I think my family will love watching the movie so they can see all the filming I did. I also think people who like to read books would enjoy it because it is based on a book. And people that like nice endings will definitely like it.

How was it playing Young Tory (Peyton List) in Series 6 of Cobra Kai this year?

Playing Young Tory in Cobra Kai was a dream come true. It is one of my big sisters’ favourite shows so they were very excited. It was very fun because Young Tory is a lot like me. She likes to colour and it’s my favourite thing to do! I also got to meet Peyton List, who is one of my favourite actresses and plays big Tory.

You were seen in the recurring role of Donna in the TV series Average Joe, how was this to work on?

Filming on the show Average Joe was lots of fun. Everyone was super nice. They decorated the bedroom with lots of photos of me so it looked real. The director of one of the episodes is really good friends with Jonathan Judge, who was the director of The Loud House.

What was it like guest-starring in the pilot episode of Found for NBC as Sarah Holden?

Filming Found was so much fun. I got to play a little girl who got kidnapped but then she was found. They had to get my clothes all dirty. I then had a scene in a hospital which I had never done before. Everyone was so nice and had lots of energy like me. We did lots of colouring in between takes.

What do you remember from your time filming for A Loud House Christmas as Lily Loud?

When I filmed A Loud House Christmas, I had just turned four. It was so much fun because I had one big brother and nine big sisters in the movie. So there were a lot of kids on set. A favourite memory from filming was having the snowball fight in the middle of May!

How was it being involved with a very popular Nickelodeon franchise for your first main role?

Being a part of the Nickelodeon family is so cool. I didn’t really understand it when I was filming but now it’s pretty neat to see myself on a channel that I like to watch. One of my biggest dreams is to go to the Kids’ Choice Awards one day and get slimed.

How did you get into acting and was it something you always wanted to do?

I got into acting when I was two. My older sister wanted to get into acting and I was cute and liked to make faces so I went along with her to see an agent. She signed both of us. Then I booked my very first role as Lily Loud on A Loud House Christmas. I loved it so much and wanted to keep doing it.

What are some of your favourite films and TV shows to watch?

One of my favourite TV shows to watch is Nicky, Ricky, Dicky and Dawn. And something really cool about it is that the dad in the show was also my dad in A Loud House Christmas. I also LOVE Bluey. One of my favourite movies to watch is Fly Away Home, because it has cute little ducklings.

Can you tell us about your charity work?

I love helping other people when I can. We raised money by selling T-shirts with some of my quotes on them and doing Cameo videos. We gave some of the money to The Childhood Cancer Society and were able to send two kids who had battled cancer on a special Disney vacation. We also took $1,000 and went shopping at Target. We bought lots of art supplies, LEGO, games, toys and more and donated them all to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. They give them to the kids there when they have to do something scary.

How do you like to spend your time away from acting?

When I am not acting, I like to colour and draw. I also love to dance. I am always dancing and love to make up dances and put on shows with my sisters. I also do gymnastics and have some meets coming up soon.

Do you have any projects coming up that you can talk about and what are you hoping the rest of the year brings for you?

I do have some projects coming up although I can’t talk about most of them. I did get to film for the first time in LA this summer on a new series that will be on ABC this fall. I also filmed a small role in an episode of a popular Netflix show probably coming out next year. One of my most favourite roles I got to film is super top secret and will be out next year.
