Rumors have been swirling ever since the I Know What You Did Last Summer reboot premiered, especially after Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jennifer Love Hewitt didn’t pose together on the red carpet. But according to Freddie, there’s zero drama—just distance and time.
“We run in different circles. I hadn’t seen her since we wrapped the second movie in ’98, but we care a lot about these characters, and it was all still there,” he told Variety. “After we finished that first scene, we had a chance to say, ‘Oh, you have kids. And you have kids.’”
He went on to praise their on-screen chemistry, saying, “Honestly, I think the first scene we share in this movie, where Ray and Julie confront the reality of their relationship, is the best work we’ve done of all three. I’m really proud of it. Our director, Jenn Robinson, three-dimensionalized these characters.”
Jennifer Love Hewitt also weighed in during an interview with Vulture, especially on the narrative that she and Sarah Michelle Gellar were feuding. According to her, it’s all completely unfounded.
“I honestly don’t even know what that was or how that all came to be,” she said. “I just think people don’t want the narrative to be easy. Why do we always have to be against each other and out for each other?”
She added: “I haven’t seen Sarah. Literally, we’ve not talked since I saw her at 18 years old when the first movie came out. That’s why it’s so funny to me. People were like, ‘Say something back.’ And I’m like, ‘What am I going to say? I’ve not seen her.’ On my side, we’re good. I have no idea where this is coming from.”
Feud? What feud? According to everyone involved, there’s nothing but respect, nostalgia, and a renewed love for their iconic roles.
