"No one’s thinking to themselves, 'that was easy,' because it wasn’t."
'The Kissing Booth 2' is now on Netflix and fans of the original are loving it.
Its stars, Joey King and Jacob Elordi, play Elle and Noah, respectively. They actually dated after meeting on the set of the first 'Kissing Booth'. But they had broken up by the time they were shooting the sequel.
Joey King opened up to Cosmopolitan about facing up to the challenge of shooting opposite her ex-boyfriend, playing a character who's meant to be head over heels with him.
She said: "No one’s thinking to themselves, 'that was easy,' because it wasn’t.
"I’m sure people will analyse every movement and every detail. And you know what? Let them."
The actress added: "But at the end of the day, I was just thrilled to be Elle Evans again."
When asked what it was like working with Jacob every single day, she said, "There’s so much I want to say."
She then paused and laughed before continuing: "What’s the most, um, correct way to go about this?
"Elle Evans needs her Noah Flynn, and whatever that means for my personal life, I’ll do anything to make sure the story of my character who I care about so much is complete."
Fair enough. The girl is a pro.
