>> lara: at the forefront. we so do appreciate it. jazmin, you have a five minute routine. you do it in an unusual way. >> we love a simple five minute routine. i understand that everyone, including our followers, live very busy lives. i like to start my routine off with my eyes. in case i make mistake it doesn't ruin the rest of my makeup. >> lara: that's smart. so you go eyes first. lot of people think foundation first. you're actually turning that on its head. early this morning you both did a makeup for our social media producer angelica focusing on her eyes. angelica, you are glowing. >> thank you. >> lara: tell us what you did to pop those eyes. >> starting off with eyebrows. i use the nyx brow glue. it comes in different colors depending on your hair color. this is the perfect everyday product. it's quick. it's easy, user friendly. it leaves a light tint over your eyebrows but also keeps them in place all day long. >> lara: love that.

>> yeah, i love it, too. if you want to go more gold and detailed, you can use a brow pencil. but then, moving on to mascara, one of my favorite steps. i use the panorama by l'oreal. one of my absolute favorites. these mascaras give a lot of length to the lashes without making them clumpy. as you can see on our beautiful model -- >> lara: yeah, she is. >> her eyes stand out. >> lara: let's talk about that glowy dewy look. it's so in right now. >> yes. >> lara: how do we get that? >> on when you're really in a time crunch, you can use this on its own. it's so affordable you can find it at most pharmacies. >> i actually am a huge fan of it myself. >> yes, and it comes in so many colors, which is really nice. but if you have a little more time, i like going out. i like going in with this l'oreal true match serum, and it kind of will just even out the skin tone. >> okay, i love that. and let's talk about lips. so one quick tip. you say that there is one

product in your makeup bag that you guys can never give up on. >> oh, i can never give up on lip liner. lip liner is my. oh, it's my holy grail. >> i don't use it. i guess i better start. oh my gosh. i disappearing before my very eyes. so >> okay, so i think this one would be perfect for you too. this one is trending on social media right now. this is the new truffle. hailey bieber uses it. okay. and it will give you the perfect is the maker. it's nyx. okay. >> so it's by nyx. it's called. it's called truffle. all right. any other tips on lips? because angelicas are looking extremely fabulous. look at you. give a smile. you know you. yeah, girl. >> yes. so for angelica, we also use the brown lipstick. brown is the color of the season right now. so a lot of people have been incorporating brown into their makeup. >> how do we do that, though? because it's a little intimidating. >> you can do this in many ways. you can start off with using a brown mascara instead of a black mascara, which, by the way, makes brown eyes really pop. >> okay, so brown mascara, a little bit of a brown lip. all of these are great tips and incredibly affordable. you look

gorgeous, angelica. all right. items are shoppable. use the qr code right there on the bottom of your screen and coming up, we have not only laurrn, but liam hemsworth talking about their new movie on good morning america. stay with us. thank you guys. >> tuesday night with just weeks to go until election day, watch the vice presidential debate live on abc. the night starts with the abc news special the race for the white house with david muir and the abc news political team. tuesday night on abc. >> i am ready to find the second great love of my life. >> now, from abc seven mornings. >> good morning. i'm amanda del castillo from abc seven mornings. let's check in with frances lawson for a look at traffic. >> all right, amanda, we've been following an early morning motorcycle fatal accident in san jose. it's causing a parking lot now on northbound 880 approaching the alameda. in fact, you can see traffic is backed up on the connector ramps. it's even jammed on northbound 17 all the way back to the san tomas expressway. so

you see, the traffic maps will head over to that scene. the two lanes are now open, but it's still causing big delays. also, we're finding big delays on bart system wide major delays due to a power outage. power systems and some network issues. no red line service today also delays up to an hour on caltrain and minor delays on ace train and the bay bridge. here's a look at slow across the span, and it is backed up through the maze. >> amanda, a busy monday morning. thanks so much, francis. meteorologist drew tuma has your accuweather forecast after the break. hey, stop dreaming >> experience the high tech magnificence of an all electric mercedes-benz suv. visit your mercedes-benz dealer for special offers on select ev models. >> it is inevitable. chloe. hey,

[ applause ] >> thank you. >> robin: okay. this new one, it's a love story, but it's more than just about romance.

i want to know from you, laura, when you first got the script, what were you thinking? >> i hope i get to do this with liam hemsworth. and i was really moved by a story that is about feeling seen for the first time in your life, wherever you're at in your life. i think the film is about true connection. and how to find one's self amidst a love story, not just the other. and so, you know, it was exciting to be at play with this incredible man. [ laughter ] >> george: what made it different from other characters you played? >> many things. he's probably the most sensitive character i have ever played. he means well. just quite a sensitive guy. but the premise and basis of this film is about finding someone that sees you for who you are and supports you and brings out the best in you.

it was something that i felt when i first met laura. i remember having breakfast with her and we were talking about the script. she was already part of it at that time. we felt like we had known her longer than we had. we just had an instant connection. doing this film was really easy with her. didn't have to work too much. we were on the same page with a lot of stuff. >> george: let's take a look at a clip. >> who ever said i had a nickname? >> you did. you are a nickname guy. >> you don't know that? >> i think i do. come on. you weren't the guy on the football team, you know, the clutch guy? i don't know if you threw the ball, caught the ball, but you were definitely on the ball as the clock ticked down. that guy always has a nickname. >> i'm not gonna tell you. >> oh, yes, you are. yeah.

are you gonna make me guess? >> sure. >> robin: we're gonna guess. >> lara: are you gonna make us guess, liam? >> really good nickname. his nickname is called the big o. >> lara: oh my. >> yeah. [ laughter ] >> big l also. >> lara: because his name is owen in the movie. [ laughter ] >> george: thank you, lara. >> okay for morning tv. [ laughter ] >> lara: owen is his character. liam, did you tell us your new favorites? >> all my brothers got called hemsly. because hemsworth. australians abbreviate everything and make our names

sound sillier. one was hem dog. l dog, lee dog. lemon. lemon was another one. >> lara: i thought this person would have one. [ laughter ] >> robin: i got to hear this back story. 87 olives and the back of liam's motorcycle. there's a story there. what is that about? >> well, the only thing missing is i didn't eat the 87 olives while on the back of the motorcycle, which probably would have been more fun. but, yes, he fed me 87 olives. >> lara: for his scene in the film? >> yeah. we did it 87 times. he kept track. i, at some point was like, this feels like a lot of olives. [ laughter ] what's happening right now? somehow i guess we are either really connected or incredibly co-dependent. i feel like from that moment forward you never wanted to eat

olives again. >> george: 87 takes? >> 87 takes. >> various setups, different angles. we wanted to make sure we got every part of that. >> lara: i'm getting really excited. [ laughter ] i'm telling you, flat out. can we switch gears for a second, laura? everybody -- i speak for myself. "big little lies." we love it so very much. we just had shalene on. >> i heard. >> lara: and she said she's all in and ready to go. is there anything you can share with us on a possible script? >> oh, man. we would have the time of our lives. i think i can say we will have the time of our lives. >> lara: okay. that's encouraging. yeah. >> we're such close friends and love each other so much, so getting to be together again would be amazing. >> lara: everyone speaks so highly of you. i know you feel the same about them. thank you. i'll take that as a positive. what do you think, l dog? [ laughter ] >> robin: thank you both so very

very much. >> thank you for having us. >> robin: "lonely planet" releases globally on netflix. got to wait until next friday. coming up next john mrballen allen. he's got a nickname, too. come on back.

>> george: we are back with john allen. he's a former navy seal.

now he's a social media star called mrballen. welcome to gma. good to see you. >> thank you very much for having me. >> george: your first time. >> my first talk show ever. yeah, this is it. first one. >> george: welcome. great to have you here. >> thank you. >> george: tell us about why you wanted to do it. >> i grew up in a family of story tellers. i'm from just south of boston in quincy, massachusetts. my dad's a reporter for the boston globe, my sister as well. my mom's a writer. so i was raised to be a story teller. when i became a professional story teller on you tube, i, just seemed obvious that i would need to have a book. that's what i do, tell stories. funny enough, when i was in boot camp as i was becoming a navy seal, my mom used to send me books because i loved reading. it's a form of escape. the people at boot camp would take the books sent to me and rip them into pieces. you are not allowed to have nice

things in boot camp. i would get a chapter of a book, like chapter 13. i'm be in my rack reading a random chapter of a book. it was perfect. it was escape. >> george: that is some hazing right there. you say you were born a story teller. explain the detour to navy seal. >> i rebelled against becoming a story teller like my family. i always felt a call to service. certainly 9/11 had a huge impact on that. i met some navy s.e.a.l.s. that impressed me. just seemed like one of those things, anyone can try out to be a navy seal but very few people make it. i loved the idea of just throwing my hat in the ring, seeing if i have what it took. i barely made it over the finish line but became a navy seal. >> george: you then went to doing something else that anybody can do, but trying to make it on you tube. >> that's a huge accident. i was at this water park in pennsylvania with my family.

i tried a couple times to post some content to social media, nothing did. it was cringey dance videos and stuff nobody liked. i just decided on a whim to tell the story about these missing hikers from the 1950s. i posted a 60 second clip to tik tok. i have no followers, nothing. i post it. i go down to the water park with my kids. come back a couple hours later, there's 5 million views on the video. that was in 2020. now i'm on "good morning >> george: what does that teach you? what advice do you have for people? >> social media and content creation is sort of like the wild west right now. it's this wide open place for people to find their calling. there's people right now who -- there's a guy who went viral for reviewing mailboxes in las angeles. he has a whole brand around reviewing mailboxes. it's sort of like throw your hat in the ring. and also, when i first became telling scary stories on tik tok. like middle age man with a

backwards hat on an app dominated by kids dancing. lot of people were like, what are you doing, john? it was kind of cringey. no one really thought it was cool. four years later they're like, you are a genius. i knew all along. so it's like, you got to believe in yourself and be prepared for ridicule. those people are trail blazers. >> george: do you have the next big idea already? >> i hope so. we're on tour right now. we've done a tour in texas. three shows in dallas. huge stint in san antonio. it's amazing getting to see fans in real time. that was a huge dream of mine. to do live engagements. i would have said that was the next big thing. hey, it's now getting film and tv would be next. but certainly, our book is the big thing. >> george: thank you for coming in. happy birthday tomorrow. >> yeah, there we go. thank you so much. thank you so much, george. >> george: mrballen comes out tomorrow. let's go to ginger. >> ginger: george, several cities from phoenix to salt lake city had their hottest latest temperatures on record. it looks like fall. the sunlight's trying to tell everybody it's fall.

it was 96 over the weekend. yesterday 94. helene's remnants, see those blocks here. high pressure system out west. latest for phoenix, las vegas, mile city, montana, rapid city south dakota. there are others we aren't even putting on this ridge list. that heat ridge sticks around and we're gonna see heat >> linsey: and time now to reveal our october gma book club pick. it's an epic adventure perfect for fans, fantasy and history. nightline's juju chang got a chance to sit down with the author. good morning, juju. >> i have a confession to make. this was such a guilty pleasure. it took me to majestic kingdoms

with ancient heroines whose super power is seduction. and, of course, the state of the future hangs in the balance as she falls for a forbidden love. it is called "a song to drown rivers." wow. it is true by anne liang. she is as charming as her novel. she's one of four beauties of ancient china, and legend has it her beauty destroyed a kingdom. >> she is this legendary figure. some people will blame her for bringing down this kingdom. but at the same time, she is also being used by these men. like, she is also a weapon and pawn. >> reporter: in "a song to drown rivers" she takes us along as handsome military adviser recruits and seduce the king. in a way this is about love and desire. but unattainable. >> unattainable.

i remember taking this class for chinese literature. the professor pointed something out about how desire means absent. it is like the more that we cannot have something, the more that we want it. and i think that was what really shaped the whole relationship between them. >> reporter: beijing born liang who now lives in australia traveled to the heroine's home town. she also sought modern expertise. >> this is so embarrassing, but while i was writing this book, i had to go and google how to seduce a man. i was terrified that someone would just look over at my computer screen. and look at all the tips and tricks of how to get a man's attention and hold it. >> reporter: inspired by chinese dramas, sea dramas, liang crafted a sweeping tale of love

and longing, which seems right for a big screen adaptation. who would you like to see play the main characters? >> okay. i have been thinking long and hard about this. i think louise fay will be an interesting take for the female lead. for the male lead, i would consider someone like dala. that is kind of my vision. >> she's already cast it, guys. i keep telling my friends it's like mataharri meets helen of troy. but proper chinese mythology with tragic epic things, power, betrayal. liang wrote novels when she was just a teenager. she wrote this, her first adult novel, just after graduating from college. clearly, guys, she has a bright future ahead. we're gonna read all about it. it's called "a song to drown

rivers." it is available now. >> linsey: seduction 101. [ laughter ] thank you. coming up luke bryan performs for us live.

>> lara: we're back now with luke bryan. he just announced he'll be back to the cma awards for the fourth fabulous time. this time will be peyton manning and lainey wilson. he also has something new "mind of a country boy." so perfectly titled. the song you are about to sing for us "love you miss you mean it." it has just taken off. it's like top five now on the country charts. what is it about this song that's just catching on like fire? >> i mean, i think we've all said that in passing. love you, miss you, mean it. the song just kind of talks about dating, young love. kind of getting away and sowing

your wild oats a little bit. then circling back -- >> lara: realizing -- >> that may have been the love of my life. i think too many people out there probably had that scenario in their personal relationship. the title "love you miss you mean it" is just really easy to sing. >> lara: glad it's easy. because guess why? you're doing it right now. whether you want to or not, boys. we know it's early, but we're always so glad when you're here. everybody, luke bryan. here "love you miss you mean it." >> yeah! ♪ ♪ we were small town meant to be my mama loved her
