So I’m like excited for his thing and he gets on and I’ve told him this that I’m like, ‘Oh, this is like a serious actor, like actor-y actor.’”
She continued, “So I was just like, ‘Oh God.’ But he was so good and I was like, ‘All right, it’s fine. Maybe we won’t get along. But like, he’s perfect for the part and he’s so talented and great.’ And so I was like, it was half really excited that like we found the Stephen but the other, I was just like, kind of rolled my eyes a little bit. And then we met in person for the next round and he was like, it was like a completely different energy. And he just told me, he was like really nervous for the Zoom and he was just like, and now I know him so well and I know that part of him and I’m like, ‘Oh, that’s what I was seeing.’ But it really took me to meet him in person to be like, this guy’s the best.”
She then confirmed, “We start dating before the job.”
She shared how they first started dating, saying, “I kept thinking about him and I couldn’t tell if it was like, ‘Oh, I’m so excited, that like, I couldn’t tell yet, I couldn’t tell if it was like a crush or like a career exciting thing.’ And then I remember hearing my friend’s boyfriend was working with him on another movie and we decided after they finished that movie, we were all gonna have dinner…We vibed instantly.”
She then said they both acknowledged that they were into one another. “We sat on a stoop for I think like six hours and talked about every reason why we should not act on this. And then I kissed him,” she said.
She also shared that no one on set knew they were together, but “it was pretty quick” that the cast found out. She explained, “The cast knew pretty immediately because we all hang out to like get to know each other…they knew right away and then people just caught on. There was never like, we never announced it.”
