We had the pleasure in speaking to Asher Angel and Paris Berelc chat about starring together in Kissing Is the Easy Part, a fresh, modern take on the classic high school rom-com.
The duo explain why the script won them over, how their long friendship made filming seamless, and why their on-screen chemistry felt so natural. They also discuss flipping traditional rom-com dynamics, gently lampooning Gen Z slang like “rizz”, and keeping the tone playful rather than mean-spirited. Later, they open up about growing up in the industry, what alternative careers they might have pursued, and the advice they’d give their younger selves — including “be present” and “prepare for the strikes.” A fun, honest and charming conversation with two stars who clearly adore working together.

Plot
The film tells the story of a straight-A overachiever (Angel) who makes a deal to tutor a popular wild child (Berelc) in exchange for a college recommendation letter to his dream school, but when sparks fly, school is the least of their problems. The romantic comedy is directed by Fawzia Mirza and based on the popular Wattpad webnovel (currently at 31.9 million reads) of the same name by Christine Duann adapted by Rebecca Webb.
