In July 2024, List and Bertrand walked the carpet with their costars as they attended the premiere of the final season ofCobra Kai. While talking with PEOPLE on the red carpet, Bertrand discussed living with List and Xolo Maridueña while filming the show.
“We sort of had the clubhouse,” he joked. “Xolo was there, Gianni [DeCenzo] basically lived there because he was spending every night over. It was just a blast.”
When asked if he’d ever do another project with List, Bertrand replied, “Oh, man. I don’t know. The first time we worked together, I definitely had the thought of like, ‘Well, that’s never happening again. That’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing.’ But who knows?”
“We’re all so tight now, and we all live in LA. So it is bittersweet,” he said about the show ending. “But also [it’s not bittersweet] because the people that I’m now such good friends with, I get to see all the time.”
In an interview with PEOPLE, List talked about the support she’s received from Bertrand while filmingCobra Kai.
“Jacob is the best person,” she said. “He’s such an authentic, genuine soul, and I trust him so much. I go to him whenever I need advice.”
