Claim To Fame: Stars of the new movie Spy Kids

Q You play a brother and sister in the movie. Did you feel like siblings offscreen?

A Alexa Yeah, we always fought on the set, but it was play fighting, normal brother-sister stuff.

Q What was your favorite part of the movie?

A Daryl Flying in the plane.

Q Was that really you?

A Alexa Yes. The plane was on top of a high building, and a crane lifted us even higher-about 70 feet-and we were like, "Yes! This is so cool."

Q What was the coolest thing about playing a spy?

A Both All the gadgets!

Q What did you learn from working with each other?

A Alexa That I don't want a brother! [Alexa has four sisters.]

A Daryl I want a sister.

Daryl has a twin brother, but he will get his wish in the movies: he and Alexa team up again in Spy Kids 2.
