Carlos and Alexa PenaVega star in the new Hallmark movie "Love in the Limelight." Carlos is best known as a band member of Big Time Rush, and starring in the hit Nickelodeon series of the same name. Alexa is known from "Spy Kids" fame.
They praised Hallmark for always giving they a great deal of creative control, and six of Carlos' songs will appear in the new film "Love in the Limelight," which will premiere on August 6. Ron Oliver directed "Love in the Limelight" from a script by Willie Aames, Winnie Hung, and Rich Tabach.
In an effort to unwind and relax, they enjoy gaming and playing "Call of Duty" on Xbox.
Carlos revealed that he is on an animal-based diet, where he is eating fruit, meat, and honey. His favorite cheat meal is pizza, white chocolate, and custom doughnuts. Alexa's favorite cheat meal is macaroni and cheese.
The PenaVegas live by the following motto: "God first, serve others." "If you want to be a great leader, be a great servant," they explained.
If he were to do any track and field event, PenaVega shared that he would try the "pole vault," and his favorite stroke in swimming is the "breaststroke." "Pole vault just seems fun and exciting," he said. "I was really good at swimming the breaststroke in camp."
Carlos and Alexa also took some time to answer a few "Rapid Fire" questions.
