Reflecting on his time filming, Morrone spoke warmly about his co-stars. 'Blake is among the most kind, courteous, and genuinely professional actors I've worked with,' he said. Sharing a light-hearted moment, he added, 'We had a fun exchange – I'd teach her Italian while she'd introduce me to some English slang!'
The 365 Days star also expressed admiration for Anna Kendrick, who reprises her role as the quirky and endearing Stephanie Smothers. 'Anna is incredibly focused and immensely talented. I can't imagine anyone else playing Stephanie – she brings something truly special to the role,' Morrone noted.

As Emily and Stephanie's worlds collide once more, viewers can expect a whirlwind of betrayal, deceit, and unexpected twists.
The film also stars Andrew Rannells, Bashir Salahuddin, Elizabeth Perkins, Alex Newell, Elena Sofia Ricci, with Henry Golding and Allison Janney rounding out the cast.

Taylor Swift's sweet summer moment with Travis Kelce gets unexpected green light from her bodyguard
Travis Kelce leads the way during NYC date with Taylor Swift as security gives subtle nod (Credit: Backgrid) Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce 's romance just added another swoon-worthy chapter — this time, under the New York City lights. On June 20, the superstar couple was spotted enjoying a cozy evening at Manhattan's trendy Italian hotspot, Torrisi. But what truly melted fans' hearts was a subtle yet powerful gesture from Kelce that sent social media into a frenzy. Bodyguard backs off as Travis Kelce makes romantic move on Taylor Swift's NYC date night As the couple arrived at the restaurant, Kelce was seen getting out of their Range Rover and circling around to Swift's side of the vehicle.

Kelce then gently offered his hand, helping her step out as cameras and fans captured the chivalrous move. The NFL star didn't stop there. Inside footage showed him shaking a restaurant employee's hand as Swift trailed closely behind. The two paused briefly before holding hands and slipping into a waiting car, with Kelce again ensuring she was safely beside him.

They shared a Mother's Day brunch in Philadelphia and even made appearances at a Palm Beach restaurant and a family wedding in Tennessee.

It wasn't easy, but they made it work.' And now, with Swift looking forward to cheering Kelce on without tour constraints, fans can expect more public moments between music and football's power couple. As another source put it, 'She's not just excited to support Travis — she finally has time to.'
