“And I just met different actors, and Fred Roos, my great consultant, suggested Colin.”
“I had met him before, but hadn’t thought of him for this. But when I met him, he’s very charismatic and charming and it felt like he could be the kind of thinking woman’s hunk that we needed. He had to be sexy to them, but also kind of mysterious and complicated.” she revealed.
We can’t wait to see the new movie!
