#1625 - Demi Lovato

Demi Lovato (0:20)

It makes me drink more, because I just like the taste, and it saves plastic.

Joe Rogan (0:25)

Oh, look at you, environmentally conscious.

That's good. Yeah, we moved to having these metal cups and have water in these things.

Demi Lovato (0:35)

Oh, I didn't even know these were metal.

Joe Rogan (0:36)

Yeah, because we used to bring bottles of water in here, those plastic bottles, and after a while, you're like, what am I doing?

Demi Lovato (0:43)

I had an investment in a water company one time, and I actually ended up selling the investment, because I don't want to promote all the plastic.

Joe Rogan (0:54)

You know, they can make plastic out of other stuff.

Demi Lovato (0:57)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:57)

They can make biodegradable plastic out of hemp, and they could be making water bottles out of stuff that would naturally biodegrade in the earth.

Demi Lovato (1:06)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:07)

They could, but they don't.

Demi Lovato (1:08)

Yeah, exactly.

Joe Rogan (1:10)

So we have a water filter machine, and then we just move to metal, so that's our thing.

Demi Lovato (1:14)

Nice.

Joe Rogan (1:14)

What's all the stickers all over that thing?

Demi Lovato (1:17)

I like to... well, it was a very bland water bottle, and so...

Joe Rogan (1:22)

So this is like your bottle. You have this one bottle.

You take it everywhere.

Demi Lovato (1:27)

I left it in Mexico on a meditation retreat. They sent it back. Like, that's how important it is.

Just a bunch of, like, stickers.

Joe Rogan (1:36)

Did you go to one of those no-talk meditation retreats?

Demi Lovato (1:42)

I'm way too talkative for that shit.

Joe Rogan (1:44)

I have a couple of friends who have done those, and they're trying to tell me how awesome it is. I'm like, yeah, good luck.

Demi Lovato (1:49)

I feel like I would just be the person that goes to their room and, like, starts talking to themselves and, like, defeats the whole purpose of being there, because I just want to... If you tell me not to do something, I'm going to go do it.

Joe Rogan (2:01)

Yeah.

Demi Lovato (2:01)

Like, pull a fire alarm. Tell me not to. I'm going to want to do it.

Joe Rogan (2:04)

Right. Especially as an entertainer, right? Like, you're rebellious. That's kind of part of the gig. A little bit. You know, it's like you don't want anybody telling you what to do. You're the boss pitch, right? You have to be. Kind of have to be.

Demi Lovato (2:19)

Yes. But I feel like there are definitely pop stars that are not rebellious at all.

Joe Rogan (2:24)

Boring. Who are those boring people?

Demi Lovato (2:27)

I don't know them. I don't personally know them.

Joe Rogan (2:30)

You're not hanging out with them.

Demi Lovato (2:32)

I just, yeah, like, I don't, I don't know. I've kind of, I've kind of actually always just stuck to myself, really. I don't have a ton of industry friends.

Joe Rogan (2:42)

That's probably really healthy.

Demi Lovato (2:44)

Yeah. Just, it's, it's nice to like, like my, my best friend that I brought out here, her name's Suzie.

And I brought her on this trip. And just like, for instance, one day I was at home and I had been doing stuff all day, you know, interviews and photo shoots and this and that. And she was like, I walked in the house and she was like, yo, Dee, so you've been doing rock star shit all day. You want to do some normal shit? And I was like, hell yeah. And that's like, that's what I do when I get home.

The most normal.

Joe Rogan (3:16)

You do normal shit to pretend you're normal. Like some people pretend they're rock stars.

Demi Lovato (3:20)

Yes, I go and pretend I'm normal.

Joe Rogan (3:23)

That's hilarious.

God, that's so real, though. I mean, that's your reality, right?

Demi Lovato (3:28)

Right.

Joe Rogan (3:30)

God.

When did you... What was the first showbiz thing you did? How old were you?

Demi Lovato (3:37)

So I auditioned for Barney and Friends when I was seven.

Well, actually, I auditioned when I was five, and I didn't make it because I couldn't read yet. So my mom was drawing pictures by each line, and that's how I memorized my lines. But they caught on to that, and they didn't cast me until I was seven or eight. And then I did that.

Joe Rogan (4:00)

So you were eight years old doing Barney.

Demi Lovato (4:04)

Yes.

Joe Rogan (4:04)

Wow. So I probably saw you on TV. My kid loved Barney. My middle daughter has this weird thing that she used to do when she was younger.
