Lukas Gage shares praise for his People we meet on vacation co-star Emily Bader as new Netflix movie arrives for fans.
The 30-year-old actor stars alongside Bader in the highly anticipated film adaptation of Emily Henry’s bestselling novel.
Speaking to People magazine at the film’s premiere earlier this week, Gage said he thought Bader was on the verge of big stardom.
“I knew that Brett Haley was directing, who I’m such a fan of, and then Emily Bader, who is the biggest star in the world – the world doesn’t know that yet, [but] after this movie, she will be,” Gage said.
“She and Tom [Blyth] are so amazing.
Gage also spoke about the pressure and excitement of joining a project that already has a devoted fan base thanks to the popular book.
“It’s so crazy to be on something with such a huge fan base and you want to do it justice and you want to make sure that your portrayal of this character is what people imagine in their head when they read the book,” he said.
People we meet on vacation is highly anticipated by fans of Henry’s novel, which follows a long-standing friendship that evolves into something more over years of shared travels.
The Netflix film is now available to stream, with audiences eager to see how the beloved story translates to the screen — and if Gage’s prediction about Bader’s breakout moment comes true.
