- Hey you guys, I'm Lana.
- I'm Jordan Fisher.
- And we are doing the shot-by-shot
Lara Jean, John Ambrose meet-cute.
Play.
(upbeat music)
- Welcome, we're just waiting for one more.
- So, Lara Jean right now, she just turned in her,
"This is my volunteer letter
and I'm working here now."
- She's being taken around Belleview by the lovely
Holland Taylor,
who plays Stormy. - Stormy.
- Knock 'em dead, honey.
- Thank you.
(tape rewinding)
- Oh, I thought that I was the only one who signed up.
- From Ether, yes, but we have a young man from Port Smith,
his name is--
- John Ambrose McClaren.
- [Jordan] So, press pause real quick.
So, the door that I just came through,
I want you guys to be clear
that I was speaking with a grip.
We were having long conversations as we kept doing
the shot over and over again.
We just kept picking that conversation back up
every time we would reset.
Oh, and I had a Starbucks back there too,
I was sipping a Starbucks.
- [Lana] At this point, Lara Jean knows.
I know that he received the love letter.
- John Ambrose is not expecting to see Lara Jean here.
Lara Jean is not expecting to see John Ambrose here.
- And this is gonna be awkward,
because I don't remember what the love letter said.
(bowl crashing)
(candy rolling)
We knocked it over and they had to
pick it up every take
and put it back in-- - Literally every single time.
- And I would always crunch it with my shoes,
I would crunch it,
so there would be like, crushed chocolate
all over the floor.
(candy rolling)
- Hi Lara Jean.
- [Lana] And there's that smile!
Wow, such a great,
such a great smile!
Such a great intro.
- Was that the moment that you were talking about
from last night?
- Of course it was.
- Aww!
- That's my favorite moment.
I love that moment.
(yells and thuds)
- [Lara] What a place to freeze frame that!
Wow!
I mean, that's easy.
- That's an easy stunt.
- That's easy, that's just falling backwards
on a mat.
I have a lot of stunt training,
so I was like, about it and I was ready to go
and it's just a fall.
I do remember that they kept telling me to like,
they loved when my feet flew up.
They were like,
"Put yourself out!" - Which is great.
- Jeez, Lara Jean!
- I'll get the first-aid kit.
- Are you okay?
- Yeah.
- And this was super tricky
because I remember the hair girl
had to constantly continuity that hair.
- And the M&Ms as well.
- And the M&Ms-- - The M&Ms behind.
- Which was a nightmare for them.
- Follow my finger.
- [Lana] Do you remember,
I could not keep it together?
- Oh my god,
I know exactly what you're talking about!
- I'm the worst.
I'm the number one person who will break
in a scene.
- Like, it took 20, 30 minutes longer
than it should have.
- For sure!
- Genuinely because we couldn't pull ourselves together.
- Yes.
- What are you doing?
- I'm making sure you're not concussed.
- How can you tell?
- (laughs) I'm gonna ask you some questions.
- (wispering) Okay.
- You know who I am?
- I was on a platform up here, right?
- A platform like this big.
- Yeah, it's literally, there's a good like,
four feet tall platform
that I'm like hunched over,
staring at Lana, who's like--
- I'm like, under the platform, like this.
- Basically just to give me an eye-line.
(groaning)
- And, I'm gonna need that letter back.
- This was half of the day, for sure,
just because it's so complex
and for Michael especially, our director, but he's
really sensitive. - Took a good amount of time.
- He's sensitive about-- - But it gives us time, too.
- It does, yeah. - He lets us play and stuff.
- He was also really sensitive about this moment,
too, because this has to be handled
so specifically.
- I know.
- Okay, you have to return it after you read it.
It's just, I need proof
that someone actually
liked me in middle school (laughs).
- Are you kidding?
Everyone liked you in middle school.
- This is a charged, awkward,
but supposed to be flattering
and sweet moment between these two characters,
without it being too much.
- You know?
- How's the patient?
- (laughs) she's good.
She's embarrassed,
but okay (laughs).
- (both) Team John Ambrose!
