Raf Stahelin “Jeff amp#91;Bridgesamp#93; brought his guitar to set one day and we started having jam sessions during the breaks. Brenton amp#91;Thwaitesamp#93; and Cameron amp#91;Monaghanamp#93; would also play guitar and I would sing. It was so much fun!” 02 of 05 She loves everything about New York City Tiffany Faure “I like the dirtiness of New York, you need it sometimes--you know what I mean? Or maybe that’s just me?” Rush laughed. “I went to the city every chance I had growing up and it’s my favorite place in the world. I love everything about it—the dirtiness, grittiness, and even the smells!” 03 of 05 She's one tough chic thanks to her SIX brothers! Tiffany Faure “I have six brothers and I’m the only girl. I’m the oldest in the house right now, which is great because that means I’m the boss! I have two older brothers so when I’m around them I act pretty girly but with the four younger ones…I can definitely beat ‘em up,” said Rush as she flexed her arm. 04 of 05 Modeling helped prepare her for acting Raf Stahelin “I think photoshoots and modeling are really just another dimension of acting because you’re creating a character and you’re creating a look,” the actress explained. “I modeled before I acted and that was kind of my preparation. I did so many photoshoots for Christmas catalogues when I was younger and would be on set with a fake family in the middle of July and I had to rip open presents under the tree and really feel that joy. I’m Jewish and I had never even celebrated Christmas!” she laughed. 05 of 05 When it comes to style, she likes to mix things up Tiffany Faure "I’m 16-years-old, so I think I’m at a transition point right now. My style is a mix of tomboy and girly. I’ll wear oversized overalls and add a scarf or a floral dress with cool motorcycle boots or boyfriend jeans and a fitted blazer. amp#91;My styleamp#93; is casual, but still edgy and chic."
