In fact, it was Laura who found the script and encouraged Tom to do the project.
She was like, ‘I just read this really great script calledLove in the Villa.
It’s a really sweet rom-com and you should read it.’
I read it and I agreed; I thought it was really brilliant."
“I love working with my wife,” adds Hopper.
“She’s so funny.
She’s a very good comedic actress.
What was very bizarre is I break up with her in the movie.
As we were doing it I was like, ‘This is really strange playing out this scene.’
She’s so different from that in real life, but she loves those character, comedic roles.
It was such a blessing for us because we’ve never really done that before.
We’ve acted in the same things, but we never actually acted opposite each other.”
It wasn’t just a love-fest for the Hoppers either.
Kat Graham, who stars as Julia, also adored working with Laura.
“I don’t know who I was more obsessed with, her or him,” she laughs.
I love Laura so much.
She’s got to be one of the funniest people I’ve ever met.
There were moments where I could not look at her in the scene."
Love in the Villais now available on Netflix.
