Nicola Peltz, the multi-talented 29-year-old actress, recently stepped into the director’s chair for her directorial debut, the new film “Lola.” As she basks in the glow of her accomplishment, Nicola shares a humorous anecdote about a certain cameo that didn’t quite make the final cut – her husband Brooklyn Beckham.
In an interview, Nicola playfully revealed that Brooklyn, 24, had a brief appearance in the movie, complete with a single line. She joked, “He had one line, ‘Hi,’ but he kept saying it in a British accent and he was staring directly into the camera.” The charming anecdote paints a delightful picture of Brooklyn attempting to deliver his line with a touch of British flair, albeit with an unintentional intensity. Nicola, the director, humorously exclaimed, “I was like, ‘Oh God, we have to move on, good lord,’” indicating that the scene may have taken an amusing turn.
In the end, Brooklyn found himself on the cutting room floor, with his cameo left on the proverbial chopping block. However, Nicola was quick to express her gratitude and appreciation for her husband’s unwavering support during the filmmaking process, acknowledging that his encouragement was an integral part of her journey as a director. She shared, “But I couldn’t have done any of this without him because he was such a massive support to me every day on set which I’m so appreciative of.”
Behind the scenes, the dynamic between Nicola and Brooklyn adds a layer of personal charm to the filmmaking experience. Nicola’s ability to balance the professional and personal aspects of her life, even in the directorial realm, reflects her versatility and creative spirit.
As “Lola” makes its way to select theaters and VOD platforms, audiences are not only treated to Nicola Peltz’s directorial prowess but also get a glimpse into the playful dynamics that make filmmaking an engaging and collaborative endeavor. Nicola and Brooklyn’s cameo misadventure adds a touch of humor to the narrative, proving that even in the world of cinema, love and laughter are essential ingredients for a memorable journey.
