Mason Thames Calls Regretting You Costar Mckenna Grace ‘the Closest Person to Me’
Mason Thames and Mckenna Grace are the ultimate dynamic duo.
During an exclusive interview with PEOPLE ahead of the at-home release of his film Black Phone 2, the 18-year-old actor expresses how lucky he felt to have recently starred in Colleen Hoover’s film adaptation of Regretting You alongside Grace, 19, whom he already considered a close friend.
“She’s such a fantastic actress,” he gushes of his costar. “Seeing her on screen is different than watching her do her thing. And she’s the closest person to me. So getting to do that with her was really, really special. Just getting to promote it and the whole process itself was something I’ll never forget.”
The How to Train Your Dragon star previously shared that he and Grace first met in an Uber months before they played love interests in the romantic drama.
“From the moment I met her, we were in this Uber going to see, I think, Deadpool & Wolverine,” he recalled to PEOPLE last month. “And instead of it just being super, super-duper awkward for a first meeting, it was so funny and so awesome.”
He added, “We just clicked immediately. And ever since then, we just hung out all the time.”
