Lifetime Stars Could Not Do Scenes Together
Jemima Rooper revealed that she and Max Irons had a great time working together on this Lifetime movie. Speaking at the Flowers In The Attic World Premiere Q&A, she spoke about how Max was acting against his natural character. Therefore, playing against him in this wicked role was quite a contrast to the kind human that he genuinely is.
The two found a lot of humor, as the story progressed, and eventually, they could barely do scenes together, they were laughing so hard.
However, you will not be laughing when you see what happens next! This set of novels has been a fan favorite for decades. Are you ready to see what happens in the next movie?
