The actress shared her excitement about leading a rom-com for the first time, expressing nerves at the prospect but ultimately aiming to create a feel-good movie for the audience. Cosgrove highlighted the importance of the genre in her life, describing how classic rom-coms have helped her through various moments. She aims to bring the same comfort and joy to viewers with ‘The Wrong Paris,’ which is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on September 12.
In terms of casting, Cosgrove had a hand in selecting Pierson Fodé to play opposite her in the film. Describing him as a great actor and person, she recalled how her girlfriends immediately approved of Fodé during chemistry reads for the role. The actress also noted the physical contrast between them, with Fodé standing at an impressive 6 feet, 7 inches tall, leading to some creative filming solutions due to their height difference.
Looking ahead to future Valentine’s Day gatherings, Cosgrove jokingly mentioned that her single party might be downsizing due to fewer single friends. Despite being single herself, she admitted to not actively seeking a relationship, instead holding onto the hope of a spontaneous romantic encounter akin to those often portrayed in rom-coms. Reflecting on her on-screen and real-life experiences, she mused about the fantasy of “meet-cutes” and their occurrence in reality.
As she prepares for the release of ‘The Wrong Paris,’ Cosgrove’s fans eagerly anticipate seeing her in a new light as the star of a romantic comedy. The actress’s passion for the genre shines through as she dives into this latest project, aiming to bring joy and entertainment to audiences.
