Ugh Joe Alwyn - of all young actors under the age of 35 they go with him? At least get Jack Lowden, who has tonnes of charisma if you want to get a blonde guy.

Love Sasha Lane, wonder if she's going to try an Irish accent? (can't remember if her character does)

[scriptedending]

yeah, of the actors cast, he is the weirdest fit for me - not how I pictured that character in my head at all.

[alexlover14]

He definitely is an odd choice - also I think I pictured a vague Jake Gyllenhaal type, someone late 30s rather than Joe's age.

to be fair he looks old

I adore Jack Lowden so shout-out to this comment, lol.

or his actually irish stand in Jack Reynor

[sarahvma]

Reynor could really project the himbo vibes needed for Nick.

[fernandocolunga]

i agree BUT i mean this as positively as possible
like a compliment

[naeara]

Jack Lowden needs to be in more things

[alexlover14]

The dude is on instagram humming tunes and doing poetry - dude isn't busy @CastingDirectors!

Love him though, I'm just assuming he's unavailable for this, it's the only logical reason.

[sarahvma]

I mean isn't Nick meant to be... handsome?

[scarygibberish]

Whoever cast this clearly sees him through Taylor's eyes because ???

[koelnnleok]

Curious about the accents too - all characters are Irish and it’s set in Dublin/Mayo (and somewhere in France as I think it is as they go on holiday)
