They spoke toTooFabaround the release ofTime Is Up, which marked Mascolo’s acting debut. “In general, to act with someone for their first time and [them] being the lead of the movie is so difficult for anyone, and so rare that it even happens,” Thorne said at the time.
“So, going into it, I didn’t know what it was gonna be like. I just trusted Ben,” she continued. “He was a natural right off the bat, and that takes a long time to learn in this industry.”
“We never had a fight ever the whole entire time we were filming, like there was never a new issue, so it was really just smooth sailing, the whole time,” Thorne added. “I’ve also never worked with someone that I’ve dated. So for me I was like, ‘I don’t know.’ But it was great.”
