Ree Drummond knew she couldn’t miss a chance to be in a Christmas movie, even if acting wasn’t in her comfort zone. whereas leading lady Star loves his experience of co-starring in upcoming Discovery+ movie candy coated christmas She said she plans to “live in my lane” as a cookbook author and Food Network host.
Drummond opens up about his role in candy coated christmas During the 15 September interview And. leading lady Starr played Bee in the holiday movie and said she enjoyed acting, especially since she is not a star.
For Drummond, the decision to accept the role (which was written for him) was a no-brainer. “It’s definitely my first film. I’m not an actor, I’m the host of a cooking show, but when Food Network asked if I wanted to participate in their first Christmas movie, I thought I did 2 Said yes in seconds,” Drummond said.
She put aside her lack of acting experience as it was a very juicy proposition. “And even though I knew I couldn’t act and knew I had no experience, I just thought, ‘How can you say no to that? Drummond shared. “I mean, Christmas movies are such a part of the tradition and I have friends who are so obsessed with them, so I said yes and then I thought, ‘What in the world have I done?
leading lady The star had to work through his veins but the director of the film was a great help. “I was sent the script for the Christmas movie right off the bat, so I could read about my character’s involvement, and it’s a small part that helps my nerves a little bit. I can’t get into this picture anyhow.” I am not taking it from me,” she explained.
Drummond shared that the writer/director saw the Food Network star line up with him on Zoom. “It really coached me through the scenes and gave me things to think about and so when I landed here in Utah, I had the moment where I thought, ‘There’s literally no going back now,’ and I’m actually gonna be up to the task.”
leading lady The star also spoke about his fun playing the character. “Here’s a little scoop for you – I have to flirt with someone next to the Christmas tree … I have a flirt scene.”
Drummond said being on a movie set was an interesting departure from what she used to do. In one scene where she had a basket of treats, someone held the basket for her when she was not filming. He was floored. “My cooking show, I don’t do all the work, but I don’t have someone to keep things for me, so that was great,” Drummond said.
As far as his family is concerned, they were supportive of his move into acting. “My girls were saying, ‘Go Mom, you have it, Murder Queen,’ and my youngest said, ‘Go Mom,’ and Jamar was encouraging. And then my 18-year-old Bryce said, ‘Something Don’t say too nice, please,’” she explained. “So that was like the last message I got from my supportive family.”
Will she take on more acting roles? Drummond joked that she was up for her Oscar, adding, “I’m going to be up my alley with my cooking show. I’m not going to pursue a career in acting, but if another Christmas movie comes out.” If it comes, I would love to join in.”
