Tom Hopper felt miserable breaking up with his wife onscreen in Love in the Villa
In a conversation with Entertainment Weekly, Tom Hopper sat down to talk about his experience of working with his wife Laura Hopper. In Love in the Villa, we saw that Charlie and Julia start growing close and suddenly new twists drop. It is revealed that Charlie is already engaged to a blonde fashion designer named Cassie.
Moreover, many might have overlooked that the actress who played Cassie was Hopper’s wife. This might be surprising because she looked very different in her new look as she naturally has dark hair. During the interview, Tom Hopper said that it was his wife who persuaded him to sign the project, despite the fact that she was playing a negative character in the same movie.
“She was like, ‘I just read this really great script called Love in the Villa. It’s a really sweet rom-com and you should read it,” said the actor. Therefore, he read the script again and said yes to the movie.
