Not everyone gets to turn work into a vacation. But, Brooke Shields could while shooting for the Netflix film Mother of the Bride in Thailand. The rom-com premiered on the streaming giant on May 9 and has received mostly positive reviews so far.
The 58-year-old actor and producer shared her experience of filming with the cast and crew in the picturesque location, both fun and difficult, in an exclusive interaction with People. Read further to know about Shield calling for shots for the entire cast before shooting the last scene.
Brooke Shields’s bond with the cast and crew of Mother of The Bride
When not shooting, during their off-time or while preparing for their scenes, the cast played pickleball, took dance lessons together, and even ate all their meals together, Shields shared with People. “We just spent all our time together. We spent our days off together. We all became really good friends. It was so refreshing,” she said.
However, while shooting, it did not feel like a vacation at all for the cast. For two months, the actors put in long days on the set, Shields recalled how everyone was so tired. So, Shields decided to call for shots before they shot a large dance routine for the wedding scene, which was the last in their schedule. “We had been filming for so long and we had to do this last scene. We had reached our limit. And I was like, ‘You know what? We're all doing a shot of tequila! That's exactly what we're doing right now, and then we're going to go have to do this dance sequence.’ So, it was just fun,” she said and added that “tequila usually helps with most things.”
Shields explained that after shooting the last leg of the schedule everybody would be back to their “real lives” the next day which made them feel relieved and exhausted at the same time. But, all in all, “just happy that we made it that far.”
