Chase Hudson, aka Huddy, is a musician/actor who is the co-lead of high school rom-com How to Lose a Popularity Contest, and to mark the film’s release on Tubi, we had the pleasure in speaking to the man himself.
We speak about the nostalgia factor of the film and what movies and songs he watched/listened to, to help get into the right headspace of the role. He also speaks about his own coming-of-age story and what helped him ‘get serious’ when he was younger. He also talks about bringing his musical background to the set, and why he doesn’t feel a kid’s popularity is based on followers. On that note, given his vast following, he talks about the responsibilities that come with being a star in the social media age.

Plot
The new Tubi original romantic comedy film HOW TO LOSE A POPULARITY CONTEST stars Sara Waisglass (Ginny & Georgia) and Chase Hudson (Downfalls High). The film is a sharp, flirty high school rom-com about a charming underachiever and a type-A overachiever teaming up to win student body president – and maybe each other. Waisglass plays “Ellie,” an organized perfectionist who has accepted her fate as an unpopular high schooler looking forward to a future at a prestigious college where no one will call her “Max,” the unfortunate nickname she received from Nate (Hudson) years ago. The film is part of Tubi’s programming slate with more originals on the way.
How to Lose a Popularity Contest is available to stream for free now, exclusively on Tubi.
