We love the drama of Tell Me Lies and are looking forward to the next season. A big part of this would be Grace Van Patten and Jackson White. The two are dating in real life, but their characters dating in the show are TOXIC. Yes, that is a nice way of putting it.
Van Patten was on the Call Her Daddy podcast and talked about how the two started dating.
When speaking about Zoom chemistry reads for Tell Me Lies, she said, “I have the job. And we’re in the process of like Zooming with guys and like reading scenes with them and like Jackson, I had heard like was the favorite. So I’m like excited for his thing and he gets on and I’ve told him this. I’m like, ‘Oh, this is like a serious actor, like actor-y actor.’”
“So I was just like, ‘Oh God.’ But he was so good and I was like, ‘All right, it’s fine. Maybe we won’t get along. But like, he’s perfect for the part and he’s so talented and great.’ And so I was like, it was half really excited that like we found the Stephen but the other, I was just like, kind of rolled my eyes a little bit,” she continued.
She then added, “And then we met in person for the next round and he was like, it was like a completely different energy. And he just told me, he was like really nervous for the Zoom and he was just like, and now I know him so well and I know that part of him and I’m like, ‘Oh, that’s what I was seeing.’ But it really took me to meet him in person to be like, this guy’s the best.”
Van Patten then said, “We start dating before the job.”
