![]() Julianne didn’t know Safe Haven was a Nicholas Sparks presentation when first approached for the role. What I focused on was trying to find the humor and playing around all that stuff and developing a real relationship.” That’s what I think I like most about the movie at the end of the day because he was right–if we don’t push it and let it get overly romantic. Throw all that out the window and just focus on whatever the scene is about and don’t push any of it. We don’t hit all these big romantic moments just because it is a Nicholas Sparks movie. We don’t need to force-feed the love story. Of the improv process to re-shape the script, Josh said, “We are not going to force-feed the audience anything. He’s got this patience about him, this trust in the audience that they are going to understand it and get it.” Lasse is an artist–he’s a poet in my opinion. “Within this sort of loose, freestyle way we describe it,” explained Josh, “it is very specific on what he wants. I had never really had a director who was that trusting of me before.”Īfter working the first couple of days Josh basically understood what Julianne meant. You have to really sort of get the blessing from the director but Lasse was all about collaboration and listening to ideas. I’ve always done a little bit of improv and I like to add stuff if they’d let me. I was like ‘What do you mean you let it flow?’ I need to follow a script. She was like ‘Don’t even worry about the script–you get to say whatever you want and sort of let it flow’. “I was like the veteran,” he said, “and the tables turned because she had been working for two weeks. Josh admitted that he took advantage by soaking up the sun on the North Carolina coast. Both the actors found a different experience working with the iconic film-maker.ĭue to the schedule, Julianne started working on Safe Haven weeks before Josh. The film is directed by Lasse Hallstrom, the man who helmed the films The Cider House Rules and Dear John. You wish there was something bad about him, but there is not. He’s super-intelligent and great at what he does. ![]() You see an attractive, gorgeous man and you hope there is more to him than that. I’d be lying if I didn’t say he was an attractive person. “I had only met him at a few events as well but it was the same kind of thing. “I was really excited,” she said about working with Josh. Julianne had nothing but compliments for her co-star. I’m a dude that likes to wear heals and make-up.” My brother is right above me and I was always the one hanging out with the guys anyway. Julianne laughed and retorted with, “That is actually a compliment. “She’s just the opposite of that,” Josh said, “she’s like a dude.” ![]() Josh, like most of America, knew Julianne from her television dancing performance and assumed that she was this very girly, petite flower. We didn’t have to break down any barriers in this movie in order to make it. It wasn’t as if we had to work so hard at building chemistry in this movie. Even though she may not have had all the experience that some of the other girls did that came in who were also very good, there was something easy about it. These movies live or die on how well the two people who are supposed to be falling in love connect. Josh said, “When her name came up for this, I really liked the idea. Though the two had met before, this was to be their first experience working together. She was very sweet, very relatable and easy to get along.” “I knew this before this started, just having seen her on TV and hearing from people. “Julianne is a very easy person to connect with, she’s an open book,” said Josh. The two performers were very comfortable with each other. All the while, the ghosts of her past seem to be drifting in the backwaters of her happiness. The two first bond as friends and eventually as lovers. There she meets a local widower (Josh Duhamel) with two kids. The story is of a young woman Katie (Julianne Hough) who must escape her life and ends up in a small coastal town. ![]() The two were in town promoting the newest Nicholas Sparks film. He wore it under his regular clothing and flashed the press with it. Josh Duhamel was excited not only about being in the Lone Star State but also about a gift in his promotion bag-a Don’t Mess with Texas T-shirt. She was joined at the media conference with her co-star from Safe Haven. She has been one of the instructors for the very successful show Dancing with the Stars, winning the title twice for her celebrity partner. ![]() The young actress of such films as Burlesque, Footloose and Rock of Ages is best known for her dancing. The first thing one will notice about Julianne Hough is how small she is person. ![]()
