Jodie Sweetin’s New Lifetime Movie Is Darker Than Anything She’s Ever Done
Jodie Sweetin fans have been accustomed to her bright and cheery disposition in such movies as The Heiress And The Handyman or as the sultry singer/sleuth in The Jane Mysteries series. However, fans of the Fuller House star may need to prepare for her new Lifetime movie. This original Lifetime movie is called Dateless To Dangerous: My Son’s Secret Life. What does she have to say about this role?
Speaking to People Magazine, Jodie shared, “I have a Lifetime movie coming out called Dateless To Dangerous, which is about the radicalization of young men online right now, and I play [the main boy’s] mom.”
It was a fun opportunity. And I believe it will be an interesting thing for people to see me do something a little different–not one joke in it. When I read the script, I was like, ‘Oh, this is for real, for real. So, yeah…it’s pretty intense.
The mother of two daughters, Beatrix, 14, and Zoie, 17, had to have found this role very relevant as she has two teens.
