Tess Romero and Gina Rodriguez snap a fun photo together at the premiere of their new series Diary of a Future President held at Arclight Cinemas on Tuesday (January 14) in Hollywood.
The two ladies play the younger and older version of the main character, Elena. Gina also serves as an executive producer.
The 19-year-old actress’ character Kourtney got to show off her singing skills and her classmates gave her a lot of applause for her performance.
Now, Dara has found and shared video of herself reacting to the news that she had booked the role in the show.
“One of my favorite episodes is OUT YALL!!! EPISODE 8!! I still can’t believe I’m on this journey with so many amazing peopleâ¤ï¸ Words can’t express how grateful I am for this opportunity 💕 Also I found the video of me getting the call the I booked Kourtney 😱ðŸ˜ðŸ™ŒðŸ¾ I still get Butterflies every time I think of that moment ðŸ˜â¤ï¸,” she shared on Instagram.
The actress spilled on some behind-the-scenes secrets in a new interview with J-14.
“We literally hung out almost every day and just explored Utah, it was so beautiful,” she said about her time with her co-stars. “We also have a few ghost stories that happened on set that still scare the heck out of me.”
“[We're] so close!” she added about the cast. “We literally hung out every day after we filmed. I love them all so much, they are talented and so sweet. I’m just grateful that I have the opportunity to work with them!”
When asked what her favorite scene to film was, Dara revealed, “My favorite scene to film was in episode 8, it was a really awesome moment for Kourtney. I can’t say too much because I don’t want to spoil anything, but it did remind me of a memorable moment that I had in high school.”
When asked about season two spoilers, however, Dara Renee said, “I legit know nothing! I’m trying to get someone to spill the tea but everyone has their lips sealed!”
“I still can’t believe this ACTUALLY HAPPENED 🤯ðŸ˜â¤ï¸ #hsmtmts,” Dara Renee captioned the video and photo below, in which she runs into HSMTMTS ads on a billboard and on the side of a bus while wandering around Times Square in New York City.
