A ‘Kissing Booth’ Reunion: Joey King and Taylor Zakhar Perez on Choosing Family Over Work and Why ‘Red White & Royal Blue’ Is ‘So Steamy’ and Game-Changing


Joey King and Taylor Zakhar Perez discuss their most recent projects, “We Were the Lucky Ones” and “Red, White & Royal Blue."

Well, it is called “ Actors on Actors.” Zakhar Perez strikes a pose, and for the next 20 minutes, the “Kissing Booth” co-stars (who’ve since become best friends) pal around, pulling silly faces and contorting themselves into surprisingly sultry positions on top of and underneath the Victorian dinner-party set. King and Zakhar Perez offer a window into their unique world as they sit down to discuss their latest roles — Emmy-nominated King portraying a young Jewish woman whose family is torn apart by the onset of World War II in the Hulu miniseries “We Were the Lucky Ones” and Zakhar Perez as the son of the U.S. president who finds love with a British prince, played by Nicholas Galitzine, in the rom-com “Red, White & Royal Blue” for Prime Video. KING: I was sitting in bed kicking my feet and giggling under the covers, because I had to rewind that scene about 14 times to see you say, “Shut up, stop talking,” grab him and kiss him.
