The Wrong Paris star's kind tribute to Miranda Cosgrove as she quips on 'trauma bonding'

EXCLUSIVE: The Wrong Paris has become a huge hit with Netflix viewers, and one of the film's stars has opened up about what went on behind the scenes

The Wrong Paris has landed on Netflix, with the romantic comedy featuring Miranda Cosgrove already proving a massive success amongst viewers.


Since its debut, the film has climbed to second place on the streaming platform's Top 10 English Films chart, racking up 12.8 million views.


The story centres on Miranda Cosgrove's character Dawn, a budding artist who joins dating reality programme The Honeypot purely for financial reasons, despite having no interest in finding romance.


Veronica Long portrays Heather, a sports bar bouncer who also appears as a contestant on The Honeypot, and the actress has spoken exclusively to Reach publications about her time filming.

Praising her co-star Cosgrove, she remarked: "It was so lovely working with Miranda. She was so kind and easy to collaborate with.


"Between setups we would dance and just goof around and chat, and she kills it in this role! She's just as sweet as her character."

She explained how some of the more demanding filming days, hampered by adverse weather conditions, actually helped unite the cast.

The actress continued: "So one thing about shooting in Vancouver is that it's bound to rain on days that you don't want it to rain.


"But I have to admit, shooting in the rain adds an extra layer of chaos and giggles and therefore fun.

"I know it doesn't look like it in the movie, but the days we shot the mudpit/hay maze scene were pretty drizzly and the costumes team was so nice and would hold jackets around us and umbrellas over us until the last possible moment before the director called 'action'.


"The biggest challenge in those scenes was to make it look like we were enjoying a sunny day on Trey's ranch and not shivering cold.

"It was also raining the day that Miranda, Madison Pettis and I had to get in the mud pit.

"We were pretty intimidated by the idea of getting in this cold water and doing a bunch of takes, but the set design team was so kind and heated up the water for us.


"The locations team set up a tent with a bunch of heaters and between takes, Miranda, Madison and I would huddle together in these tents to warm up.

"It might sound contradictory, but the rain and cold contributed to our camaraderie by making us feel like we were in the trenches together. Call it trauma bonding."


She found it difficult to choose a favourite behind-the-scenes memory, but revealed that every day of filming with The Honeypot cast was "an absolute blast".

She revealed: "One of the best parts of working on this movie was working and collaborating with this incredibly funny and talented cast.

"Hannah Stocking and I would collaborate between setups and in the makeup trailer. While we were getting our hair and makeup done, we would brainstorm funny ad-libs to add into the scenes for that day.

"Bouncing ideas back and forth with her was so much fun. I also have to say working with Yvonne Orji was wild. Everything she says is laugh-out-loud funny.

"The first time we met was at a rehearsal before the filming started. We had lunch together with Miranda and I could barely get through my meal, I was laughing so hard."

The Wrong Paris is available on Netflix.
