The scene in question is the moment that she tell to Lee (Joel Courtney) who is tired of trying to make everyone happy and doesn’t know if she wants to go to UC Berkeley with her best friend or go to Harvard and be with her boyfriend Noah (Jacob Elordi).
It was very unprofessional. I had seven more scenes left to shoot. I got so stoned. You know when you’re really high and all you can say is ‘Am I so high?’ It was where I was…
On the day of filming, the castmate Taylor Zakhar Perez would also have used cannabis, but perez I had no more scenes to shoot. Looking again at the scene, it is not apparent that king is upset, as she is in tears while talking to the character of Courtneyexplaining the puffiness of his eyes.
The Kissing Booth 3 was filmed at South Africawhere cannabis is decriminalized for private consumption, making the act of king only unprofessional and not illegal. It is not uncommon for artists to smoke or consume marijuana while filming scenes.
The medicinal qualities of cannabis of sensory enhancement and stress reduction can easily add something to an actor’s performance, helping them to get into character more easily and reduce the anxiety of having to act. In case of kingthe actress became even more emotional with the sensitivity of the scene.
the films of The Kissing Tent are based on the eponymous book series by Beth Reekles. The plot follows the three mentioned protagonists and, in the last film, Elle Evans need to choose a college: UC Berkeley to accompany best friend Lee, or Harvard, to be with the boyfriend Noah.
