She tries on six or seven different looks, ranging from dresses and draped jackets to metallic gowns\u2014all of which seem to be a perfect match for her increasingly bold and playful personal style.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not a size zero or two,\u201d the actress, 23, admits while taking a break in the cozy and cute apartment. List\u2019s declaration is what makes her so beloved after all of these years on television: She is relatable and down to earth, despite being in the spotlight since she was 4 years old.<\/p>\n<p>Clearly, this isn\u2019t List\u2019s first rodeo. When the blonde beauty was very young, her mom enrolled her in acting classes as an after-school activity, but over time, she realized it was something she wanted to pursue professionally.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t really think of it as a career until I was probably a legal adult,\u201d she tells <em>GRAZIA Gazette: Los Angeles<\/em>. \u201cIt always felt right to me. It never felt off. It always felt really fun and that I was playing dress up with a bunch of adults who would be so kind to me and be so collaborative. They would all take me in and teach me about their job.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_48869\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-48869\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-48869 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2022\/01\/peyton-list-interview-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1919\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-48869\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Peyton List wears Miu Miu (photographed by Tayo Kuku and styled by Olivia Weeden, makeup by Tyron Machhausen, hair by Natasha Leibel)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>List\u2019s career first got off the ground when she was cast as Emma Ross, a bubbly, albeit cynical young girl on the Disney Channel show <em>Jessie<\/em>, in which she played one of four children supervised by a nanny, alongside future Young Hollywood stars Skai Jackson, Debby Ryan, and Cameron Boyce, who tragically passed from an epileptic seizure in 2019. When List was first offered the role, she recalls, her agent actually advised her not to take it. It was a tough sentiment to hear, especially because she grew up watching <em>Wizards of Waverly Place<\/em>, <em>That\u2019s So Raven<\/em>, and <em>The Suite Life of Zack and Cody<\/em>. Ultimately, the opportunity to align with the Disney brand was simply too great to pass up, and when she heard the news that she was cast, she \u201cscreamed, cried and jumped up and down\u201d from her excitement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI always wanted to do it, and it was a dream come true for me. It was mind-blowing as a little kid,\u201d she shares. \u201cIt\u2019s funny because when I got on the set, I was the only one in the cast not getting laughs at the table read and nobody thought I was funny. They wanted to cut my character. I almost had this huge opportunity and then lost it. I always think about if I hadn\u2019t come around in the first week and hadn\u2019t learned what I needed to do to stay on the show: would I still be acting or would I have been so disheartened with the industry?\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_48868\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-48868\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-48868 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2022\/01\/peyton-list-interview-4-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"2048\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-48868\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Peyton List wears Louis Vuitton (photographed by Tayo Kuku and styled by Olivia Weeden, makeup by Tyron Machhausen, hair by Natasha Leibel)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Looking back on the series, which ran from 2011 to 2015, List is glad she took the part, even though she knew she would have to prove herself in more serious roles down the line.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel like it\u2019s given me so many amazing opportunities,\u201d she states. \u201cI feel like it has helped me become the person that I am now, so I think there was a time where I did regret it a little bit, but I do believe that everything works out the way it\u2019s supposed to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Following the success of <em>Jessie<\/em>, List appeared in its spinoff, <em>Bunk\u2019d<\/em>, in addition to other non-Disney roles: in the CBS sitcom <em>Happy Together<\/em> with Damon Wayans Jr., in the Hulu series <em>Light as a Feather<\/em>, in the movie <em>Hubie Halloween<\/em> with Adam Sandler and Julie Bowen, and most recently, on Netflix mega-hit <em>Cobra Kai<\/em>\u2014the last of which has reenergized her career and given her a whole new fanbase.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Cobra Kai Season 4 | Official Trailer | Netflix\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/I3uX4uwrAaY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>However, it hasn\u2019t always been easy breaking out of the Disney stereotype, which Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, Miley Cyrus, and Zendaya have similarly transcended. List likens moving on from Disney to \u201ccoming out of my college years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re trying to prove yourself and find your way, just like all of my friends who are in college,\u201d she says. \u201cThat was kind of a weird time, going into casting offices and reading for them and hoping that they don\u2019t have some sort of preconceived idea of who I am. Sometimes I think it has helped me, because they expect something different than who I am. I think people are more open to it now, but I think a lot of girls that were on Disney before me have already shattered that, like Selena, Zendaya, and all of these girls who have been doing really well.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_48870\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-48870\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-48870 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2022\/01\/peyton-list-interview-6-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"2048\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-48870\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Peyton List wears Fendi jacket and shorts, Michael Kors Collection bralette, Reike Nen slingbacks (photographed by Tayo Kuku and styled by Olivia Weeden, makeup by Tyron Machhausen, hair by Natasha Leibel)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>When List initially auditioned for <em>Cobra Kai<\/em>, she thought of it as just another acting job and was not expecting the show to become the cultural phenomenon that it is today. List ended up nabbing the role of Tory Nichols in the Netflix show, in which she has demonstrated her acting abilities while being part of a major hit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy favorite part is getting to be a female who can do martial arts and stunts and fighting,\u201d she states. \u201cNow, being able to show that girls can fight and girls can have those sides to them is so fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What makes being on the series even better is that she gets to see how she is influencing the next generation of young girls. Case in point: Show creator Jon Hurwitz told List that at his two daughters\u2019 school, the girls were initially supposed to take yoga, while the boys learned karate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe girls fought to do karate with the guys. They were like, \u2018We can all do it. We all want to do it,\u2019\u201d List recalls. \u201cI was like, \u2018That is so cool to me that there is some sort of impact because of the show.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_48866\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-48866\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-48866 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2022\/01\/peyton-list-interview-5-copy-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"2048\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-48866\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Peyton List wears a Michael Kors Collection top and skirt, Louis Vuitton loafers (photographed by Tayo Kuku and styled by Olivia Weeden, makeup by Tyron Machhausen, hair by Natasha Leibel)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>List never believed that starring in <em>Cobra Kai<\/em> would mean so much to her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe last season I went in, and I just thanked the creators,\u201d she admits, adding that she feels indebted to them for \u201ctaking a chance\u201d on her. \u201cI am so grateful because it has really shifted my entire life. It\u2019s been one of the greatest things that has happened to me. I love the character so much and the group of people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even though she\u2019s been in show business for most of her life, List confesses that playing Tory has \u201chelped\u201d her become more self-confident. Jumping into Tory\u2019s shoes has allowed List to \u201cbe more of myself \u201d\u2014 something she is still adjusting to in real life and on social media. In 2022, it is just as terrifying as ever to be vulnerable on the internet, but List is excited that TikTok is not a \u201ccomparison pit,\u201d as opposed to Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just try to follow people that are positive and honest to a certain extent,\u201d she explains. \u201cI know that a lot of it is people\u2019s highlights and their best moments, so I try to remember that, but it does get in your head. I think TikTok has been really cool because my \u2018For You\u2019 page is really comforting, and I just see everyone being so authentic, real, and more open. It\u2019s a really cool direction that it\u2019s going.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_48865\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-48865\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-48865 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2022\/01\/peyton-list-interview-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1599\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-48865\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Peyton List wears St. John sweater and shorts, Jonathan Simkhai bralette (photographed by Tayo Kuku and styled by Olivia Weeden; makeup by Tyron Machhausen, hair by Natasha Leibel)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For her part, it\u2019s not always easy for List to express how she is feeling to others, as she describes herself as \u201ca closed-off person.\u201d Yet, she admits that when Gomez and Lovato both spoke about their mental health struggles, List felt like she could \u201crelate\u201d to them since she too has dealt with her fair share of problems.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just haven\u2019t talked about any of it&#8230;\u201d she reveals. That\u2019s not to say that she won\u2019t ever discuss her past with her 19 million Instagram followers and almost 5 million TikTok followers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think I will [ultimately] tell [the public] because I think that a lot of women have been helped by others,\u201d she explains. \u201cI feel like older actors share things from their 20\u2019s that are wild and insane, but they share it way later when they feel comfortable. I almost feel like that is how I am too with my childhood. I need time in order to reflect and then tell everyone what was happening.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_48871\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-48871\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-48871 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2022\/01\/peyton-list-interview-7-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"2048\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-48871\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Peyton List photographed by Tayo Kuku and styled by Olivia Weeden, makeup by Tyron Machhausen, hair by Natasha Leibel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In the meantime, List is starting off 2022 on a high note\u2014her makeup brand, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pleybeauty.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Pley Beauty<\/a>, debuts in late January.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI called it Pley because I want people to express themselves and have fun,\u201d she says of her vision. \u201cIt\u2019s all about color and just being an artist and creating. The whole campaign shows that beauty is your playground and it\u2019s all nostalgic. It\u2019s all clean and sustainable, and a lot of our packaging is 100 percent recyclable material. I hope to push the beauty industry in some way. I just feel like there are a lot of people that aren\u2019t meeting that sustainable bar.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Though it may seem like List has done so much already, she believes she has merely just scratched the surface of what she can accomplish (and we tend to agree). In fact, while speaking with the talented starlet, she was giddy when revealing that she just landed \u201ca dream role,\u201d which she can\u2019t yet talk about.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been a very surreal experience because I am like, \u2018Oh my God, I feel so much better,\u2019 which is horrible because work has become such a priority to me,\u201d she says. \u201cI have learned so much even the last few days since hearing the news. I really just wanted to prove to myself that I am worth it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She continues, \u201cI finally acknowledged to myself that I work hard and that my success doesn\u2019t happen by itself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s safe to say this Disney Channel darling is branching out, finding herself and helping others along the way\u2014what more could you really ask
