It’s typically a boy’s dream-come-true to play a superhero. Yet Kelli Berglund, a beautiful, petite, and graceful young woman, is doing just that. Kelli stars in the Disney XD hit series Lab Rats as Bree, a bionic superhero created in a lab who navigates everyday teenage life with her bionic siblings. Kelli is a California native who started at the age of 4 with a passion to dance, training in ballet, tap, jazz, point, contemporary, and hip hop for years before hitting the Hollywood screen. But it’s not just as Bree that Kelli shines as a superhero; in her personal life she’s a spokesperson for the Audrey Hepburn Cares Team, donating her time and money to help abused and neglected children. It’s a charity she sought out on her own after reading a book on child abuse, realizing her celebrity status could help bring attention to this worthy cause.
In addition to Lab Rats, Kelli stars in the upcoming 2014 Disney Channel Original Movie How to Build a Better Boy opposite China Anne McClain. The two girls play best friends who try to create the perfect boyfriend with the help of a computer program.
Here’s a few exclusive Q&A’s from Kelli Berglund’s Twitter #BYOUchat with @BYOUmagazine on April 12:
Q from Kayla: Kelli, do you ever think about doing anything music related in the future?
A from Kelli: I’d love to release a single at some point, or maybe even an EP or a album! As of right now, I’m focusing on acting, but I definitely see some music in my future.
Q from Karina: If you had a million dollars, what’s the first thing you’d get?
A from Kelli: The very first thing I would do is donate a portion to my charity, the Audrey Hepburn
CARES Team. (:
Q from Floppi: What was the first thing you felt when you were cast as Bree Davenport? Love you kelli 
A from Kelli: I felt so many emotions when I was cast as Bree Davenport! At first, it felt a little surreal, but then I was so ecstatic that I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face! And of course, I felt so completely blessed.
Q from Jake: Are you doing more Lab Rats shows?
A from Kelli: Absolutely! There are plenty of season 3 episodes that will be airing this whole year. And who knows, there might be a 4th season as well.
Q from Sashka: How do you do your hair for a normal day?
A from Kelli: I usually like to softly curl my hair or simply straighten it. I’m usually rehearsing on set everyday so I like to keep it pretty casual when I’m working. (:
Q from Anna: If you could go anywhere in the world right now, where would it be?
A from Kelli: I would probably go to either Australia or Italy! I’ve always wanted to travel to both countries, and if I had the opportunity to go RIGHT this second, I would go in a heartbeat!
Kelli Berglund was the April/May 2013 BYOU Magazine cover story!
Our theme for that issue was B-HAPPY, and in our exclusive interview with Kelli Berglund, BYOU Magazine publisher Debra Gano visited Kelli on the set of Lab Rats and noticed a poster about happiness on the wall of her dressing room. Here’s what Debra asked Kelli and what Kelli had to say about HAPPINESS:
Debra: I took a photo of the great poster you put on the wall of your Lab Rats dressing room about happiness not being a destination but a way of life. Why do you have that on your wall?
Kelli: I see it [the poster] every day and it reminds me not to worry. A lot of people try to “find” happiness, thinking one day they will be happy and they live life worrying about finding it. Happiness is not something you say, “There it is! I’ve found it!” That’s not how it happens. It’s a way of life. It’s about you being a happy person and living your life in a happy way. Rather than seeking and hoping someday it will happen, it’s about deciding TODAY that you want to be happy. And when you live happily, good things will come to you and you’ll have happy experiences!

Kelli Berglund with little sis Kirra!
Kelli & Kirra:
Kelli has a special relationship with her sister Kirra Berglund, whom she calls her #1 fan.
“Kirra and I share a relationship neither of us shares with anyone else. We learn from each other and go through our ups and downs, but at the end of the day, we know we’ll always be there for each other. It’s a relationship we’ll share for our entire lives, and we’re so blessed to have such a close companion by our side!”
KELLI’S SISTERHOOD TIP: “Always cherish the time you spend with your sister! We can take our siblings for granted, especially when you’re arguing over something (important or unimportant). Remember as you grow older, your sister is the one true and genuine person who will be there. Make memories and do fun and silly things together! Be spontaneous! My sister is my best friend. It’s a bond that can’t ever be broken.”
