We’d heard good things through mutual friends so off the bat we knew it could be okay. Roe: We didn’t have a chemistry read but I’d heard of her and she’d heard of me. Q: How was working with your co-star Jessica Rothe? Did you two get to have dinner or get to know each other at all before filming? Some people who’ve read the book have come to the movie and are initially upset beforehand but afterwards they’ve come out and really enjoyed the movie.
It was difficult to fit it all into an hour and a half, obviously, and there were other changes too that Bethany thought were important. Did Bethany Ashton Wolf, your director, have you read it or just go with the script? Roe spoke with us by phone from Los Angeles. He and co-star Jessica Rothe, also a horror film veteran after her leading role in “Happy Death Day,” a 2017 surprise mega-hit, clicked right away and had long, pre-production chats about just who this unlucky-in-love young couple was. The second chance romance is rated PG but Roe manages to sizzle on screen and in various appropriately shirtless moments throughout the film. The actor, who calls himself strictly a “sing in the shower when everyone is out” guy, credits his ability to be convincing as a Country musician on “watching hours and hours of country singers being interviewed,” and then working non-stop under the tutelage of music producer Brett Boyett until his singing and playing was up to par. Roe was happy to get more down to earth by taking on a Nicholas Sparks-style, romantic family-friendly film and developing his musical talent as Liam Page, a Country music star who left his high school sweetheart at the altar in “Forever My Girl,” based upon the popular novel by Heidi McLaughlin. His work as hunky outdoorsman turned freedom fighter Evan Walker in the film adaptation of popular Sci-Fi, YA novel “The Fifth Wave” and as a young man trapped by a video curse in “Rings” perked the interest of many young filmgoers. HOLLYWOOD-Filmgoers know 27-year-old British actor Alex Roe as a sci-fi and horror leading man. Abby Ryder Fortson, Alex Roe and Jessica Rothe in FOREVER MY GIRL.
