Eiza González has some unique work experiences. The Mexican actress began her career at a young age, starring in telenovelas, where she used to act and sing in shows like "Lola, érase una vez." In a new appearance on "The Kelly Clarkson Show," González revealed that her first TV work experience occurred even earlier, at "Sesame Street," when she was five years old.

"I was on Sesame Street for a blink of an eye because I got kicked out,” González said. “It was my first ‘getting fired’ moment.”

González was interviewed by Brooke Shields, who served as Kelly Clarkson's guest host. González shared that she was very naughty when she was a kid and riled up her coworkers while on set, resulting in them breaking some things. 

"I was a hyperactive child and I also liked to rile up people. Like, I was a complete menace,” she continued.

“I made sure to rile up the entire kid team of children. I convinced them to break into the office and they had a mock-up of the entire set, and we were jumping on it and we broke it.”  

González shared that her mother thought she wouldn't be able to act because of her attitude, something that of course changed with time. "‘You can’t do this for a living. You are just so naughty,’” said her mom.

González has just premiered a new film

González is currently promoting her new film, "Ash," which had its premiere at SXSW. 

While discussing the project, González shared her love of horror and why people should support the film in theaters.

"I love watching horror films in movie theaters," she said to Shields. "It's the one place — it's a communal experience and everyone's kind of screaming together... It's an independent film, guys, it means a lot if people can go support it."

"Ash" premieres in select theaters this March 21st.
