## Caption

Disney legend Brenda Song sat down with Complex News' Jillian Hardeman-Webb to talk about her her role in the Netflix comedy series Running Point. Song discussed her die-hard fandom of the Los Angeles Lakers and the time she met Kobe Bryant and got starstruck. 

The conversation also covers her nine-year relationship with Macaulay Culkin. She humorously recounts her failed attempts to teach the native New Yorker how to drive, his love for sports, and how they bonded. 

Finally, Song reflects on her time as a child star, the inspirations behind the iconic London Tipton—such as Paris Hilton and Megan Mullally—and her experiences filming the upcoming movie The Fifth Wheel alongside Kim Kardashian.
