Eiza González may not be able to tell you how to get to Sesame Street, but she can certainly tell you how to get fired from it.

The Ash star, 35, shared during a Tuesday, March 11 appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show that she was on Sesame Street for just “a blink of an eye” at 5 years old — all thanks to her being a “complete menace” on set and leading her fellow child actors on an apparent mission to break into an office.

Speaking with guest host Brooke Shields, González revealed that she “got kicked out” of Sesame Street in Mexico in what she referred to as her “first getting-fired moment” as an actress.

“Maybe this should’ve said everything about me when I was little to my mother and sort of [helped her decide] to not keep me in this career, but I basically was a hyperactive child,” González said. “And I also liked to rile up people. I was a complete menace.”

“I made sure to rile up the entire kid team, of children, and I convinced them to break into the office,” she added. “They had a mock-up of an entire set. And we were jumping in it and we broke it. And it was me. And I got completely fired from my first job because I was just a complete menace.”

After Shields jokingly asked the Baby Driver star if Big Bird, himself, terminated her, she then confirmed that “Big Bird fired me.”

“And my mom said, ‘You can’t do this for a living. You’re just so naughty, you can’t do this.’ And then surely, I found my way back into it somehow. I wiggled my way in.”

Despite her first, not-so-great experience on set, González, indeed, found her way back into Mexico’s Plaza Sésamo years later, when she performed “Me Gustas Tú” in a season 11 episode, per IMDB.

While González’s initial stint on the Mexico edition of Sesame Street didn’t come to fruition, multiple other child actors who actually appeared on iterations of the series also went on to have successful careers, including Tyler James Williams, Ashley Tisdale and Lindsay Lohan.

In the years since, of course, González has continued to act beyond those Plaza Sésamo roots, most recently starring in Flying Lotus’ independent thriller Ash, which she told Shields at the Kelly Clarkson Show was created with “a lot of love and a lot of passion.”

In the film, González stars alongside Aaron Paul and plays an astronaut named Riya who discovers that “everyone on her spaceship has been killed” and has no memory of what happened. The film, she added, would be a fit for fans of “anxiety-inducing movies.”

“I love watching horror films in movie theaters,” she said. “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.”
