Distractify spoke with Kat in October in honor of her new "Be More You" campaign with Piercing Pagoda. Opening up about her upcoming projects, the actress revealed that she was drawn to the script for her new film Operation Christmas Drop because of her "humanitarian background."  

She explained to us: "I was obsessed with this idea ... they take all of these different supplies that people from Guam donate or sometimes all over the world and they drop them to the outlying islands that don’t have access to proper medical services or different supplies, like food, health kits, things like that. I was super excited to do it. It’s something totally different from what I’ve done."

The 31-year-old explained that she "didn't grow up in a perfect family" so she is not drawn to playing roles that are "far from reality without any sort of breakthrough." Adding, "It always has to be about something more. I just can’t be some Barbie, like, I have the perfect dream house. That’s not real. People are suffering all over the world. It’s just not a real description of how life is."

Operation Christmas Drop marks the second holiday film that Kat has starred in for Netflix. Though vastly different, the 2018 movie Holiday Calendar also had a groundbreaking message.
