Miles Teller on Returning to Romantic Comedies
Miles Teller discussed his feelings about returning to romantic comedies after nearly a decade. He last appeared in films like That Awkward Moment, Two Night Stand (both 2014), and The Spectacular Now (2013).
Joy in the Comeback
At the Los Angeles premiere, Teller expressed his happiness about the opportunity. He said,
"I was happy that I was given the opportunity again. I think most actors are pretty multifaceted — they just get put in a lane maybe early on and I just have a wide range of interests, so I feel lucky that I’ve been able to kind of weave in and out. But this movie is just kind of life-affirming and to me those are the best projects."
About the New Film
The story centers on a woman in the afterlife who must choose between her husband and a past lover to spend eternity with. Teller described it as a "really tender-hearted piece," which aligns with the types of projects that attract him.
Reflecting on Life and Loss
The star noted that the film encourages viewers to reflect on universal questions about life and death. He added,
"People branch off and you can tell that they’re asking these questions that we’re all going to be faced with; it makes people, in a wonderful way, think about loved ones or friends or family members, anyone who has passed away that they hope to be reunited with."
Summary: Miles Teller warmly embraces his return to romantic comedies through a heartfelt story that explores love, loss, and life’s profound choices.
