On-Screen Chemistry, Off-Screen Laughs

McKenna Grace and Mason Thames light up every scene together, and their off-screen chemistry is just as magnetic. The two tease each other constantly, and at one point, McKenna accidentally lets slip a little secret about Mason—something he swore wasn’t ready for the public.

Between takes, it’s clear they’ve bonded off set, sharing mood board adventures and planning more projects together. You might think the on-screen tension was real, but it’s really a testament to how talented they are as actors. Off screen, the pair are charming, fun, and effortlessly engaging, and their genuine friendship only makes their on-screen connection shine even brighter.

Allison Williams and Dave Franco Get Real

Allison Williams and Dave Franco bring charm and vulnerability as Morgan and Jonah. When asked how their characters would respond to the betrayal if they could confront Chris and Jenny, let’s just say a middle finger might have been involved—but you’ll have to watch the interview to get the full context.

From impulsive haircuts to bucket-list dreams—like Dave wanting to “direct something totally unexpected”—the pair share laughs and relatable moments. “I think we’ve all had that one haircut,” Allison jokes, and both burst into laughter, giving a glimpse of the lighter side behind the film’s emotional core.

Scott Eastwood Talks Grief and Growth

Scott Eastwood, who plays Chris, grounds the story with his performance. He explains that grief is “something everyone touches in their own way” and notes that his character’s choices ripple through everyone else’s journey. On advice from his father, Clint Eastwood, Scott recalls being told to “always trust your gut”—a mantra that mirrors the film’s themes of following your heart and avoiding regrets.

Bringing Hoover’s Story to Life

Director Josh Boone worked closely to keep Colleen Hoover’s words intact, making only small adjustments to translate the story to screen. Certain letters, which remain unopened in the book, are treated with the same care in the film—giving fans a faithful adaptation while keeping some mysteries intact. Josh did hint, however, that there may be some letters to read in the film’s bonus features when it comes out, giving viewers even more insight into the story and characters.

Regretting You isn’t just a tearjerker—it’s a story about choices, loss, and the regret we wish we would have confronted sooner.
