Bella Thorne and Patrick Schwarzenegger
When you work closely with a person, you get to see how a person thinks and acts - their sense of humour, defence, ethics and much more. And that's exactly what happened with Patrick Schwarzenegger, despite being friends with Bella Thorne, while working on Midnight Sun with her!
Midnight Sun marks the first romantic lead role for Patrick Schwarzenegger, and he says that he couldn't have imagined taking on this project opposite anybody else other than Thorne. "Bella is super fun to hang with. We are great friends, and she's so easy to talk to and get along with... incredibly funny, charismatic, outgoing, very gregarious. In the role of Katie, she was phenomenal. She's a very generous actor to work with. It was then that I saw her in a different way" says Schwarzenegger.
"I only knew the fun side of Bella before. And now I know her serious work side and the way that she could act. I have the utmost respect for her as far as an actress, as a person, a friend, everything. Bella is an amazing person to work with."
