Ross Lynch Talks R5's EP and All Those 'Raura' Rumors

It’s okay to admit it with us — we’re total Ross Lynch and Laura Marano shippers. Just look who cute those two are together on Austin & Ally!

Ross, 18, chatted with Teen.com about the rumors, R5‘s new EP, his hopes for Austin & Ally‘s upcoming season and more. Check it:

On his favorite song from the upcoming album: “There’s a song called ‘Smile’ that I’m really excited about. It’s a cool song. The whole band is into old school rock ‘n roll and we’re heavily influenced by The Beatles and the Rolling Stones, so this song brings a little of that Beatles-drive. So that’s one of the reasons we really like it.”

On Austin & Ally: “I hope Austin and Ally can establish a solid relationship that’s consistent, because that’s the name of the game right now. They become boyfriend and girlfriend and then they break up. And then it happens again. I think it’d be fun if they actually had a good relationship for a while.”

On the ‘Raura’ rumors: “You just laugh about it! Me and Laura are super close friends and everyone on the set will tease us like, ‘ohh Raura’s on set!’ So it just becomes a joke. It’s never awkward with me! Laura tends to get a little awkward sometimes, but that’s okay — it’s cute. It’s funny.”

On Teen Beach Movie 2: “I think with any sequel, when it’s a continuation off a successful first movie, there’s always hype around it and people are going to watch it because of that. But I also think they’re going to like [this movie] because it’s a tad bit more modern, so people can relate to it more and that’s always nice. And of course you get to see all the old characters!”
