The 'Grown-ish' Cast Plays 'How Well Do You Know Your Co-Star'

published 11 February 2021

It should be no surprise to fans of Freeform's grown-ish that the cast is close—after all, the show is all about friendship, specifically the ones you make in college who help you, well, grow up. But just how friendly are the stars in real life? Marie Claire challenged Yara Shahidi, Halle Bailey, Chloe Bailey, Francia Raisa, and Emily Arlook to our trivia game, "How Well Do You Know Your Co-Star," to prove their on-screen connections have also made their way off-screen. And suffice it to say, the talented cast owned the challenge.

The actors took turns answering questions about each other's favorite dishes, prized possessions, and former iconic roles. They were so on point they even thought Shahidi's questions were too easy. "Yara's questions were like basic knowledge," Arlook joked.

The cast bonding took a particularly adorable turn when sisters Halle and Chloe showed everyone one of their most memorable (and youngest) performances at the ages of 5 and 7. Watch the sweet moment above, and catch the third season of grown-ish Thursdays on Freeform.
