I’m always asked who I picture when I’m writing the Chocolate Lovers Series. Ask, and you shall receive!
Carter. Oh dear, sweet Carter. This is a tough one because there are two beautiful, blue-eyed hotties I have in mind. First, Ian Harding from the TV show Pretty Little Liars. There is just something about this man’s smile that does me in. LOVE him!
My 2nd choice would be (no one throw sharp objects at me) Zac Effron. And no, I’m not talking about that jail-bait High School Musical shit. I’m talking Charlie St. Cloud, hot as fuck Zac Effron. And he’s legal now. I checked.
Next up, Claire. This is another tough one because Claire is so much like me. And I am no Hollywood starlet! But, I’m going with one of my all time favorites and someone I have a HUGE girl crush on, Rachel McAdams.
Liz, my BFF in real life and someone who needs to be able to deliver snark like no other – Kristen Bell. Aside from the fact that Veronica Mars was, is, and always will be my favorite show – I think Kristen Bell could rock the line, “Do you and the Ya Ya Brotherhood have a secret handshake too?”
And for Liz’s other half, Jim, I’m going with Topher Grace. Jim is for the most part a quiet, easy-going guy who has no problem letting his wife wear the pants in the relationship.
Jenny – oh, dumb Jenny, how I love thee. Considering I’ve seen the movie Wedding Crashers eleventy billion times and laugh hysterically every time the bedroom scene comes on where she says, “Baby, I’m going to make all your fantasies come true” and then shoves a sock in Vince Vaughns mouth and he’s freaking out because it’s NOT a fantasy of his…she HAS to be Jenny.
Isla Fisher
And last, but not least – Drew. This was another tough one. Drew is cute, but he’s a giant man child. He’s silly and a little bit dumb and never realizes people are laughing at him and not with him. The only person I can picture is Kelso from That 70’s Show.
Drew, meet Ashton Kutcher.
So there you have it – my dream team. If any of them are reading this, call me. We’ll do lunch.
Great choices! I could tell who you were talking about before I even read what you said!
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i can totally see each of these as you characters……
I like them all except Ashton….he isn’t dumb looking enough for Drew 😛
Perfect! If you want more hot-as-fuck Zac Efron, watch The Vow. Humina humina!
Perfect! !! I always had Kelso in mind for Drew!
Love them all!! I’m an Ian Harding fan so I like him for Carter, better than Zac. Can’t wait for the third part! I love this series!
You made my dream come true….Zac Effron sexy as hell!! Totally my picture of sweet Carter too! I can totally see him “I stared down at my arm resting on the bar and it just sat there like a piece of shit slacker.”
OMG yes! Ian Harding ALL day.
Love!! Agree with all your choices 🙂
Great casting! I love me some grown-up hot-as-fuck Zac! Love the books!
Love your choices. Ian is HOT!
They all sound perfect to me. Get started on that movie!!!
I love your books…I so can’t wait for Drew’s story….yes I love your dream team and hope it becomes a reality
I can totally picture all of your characters as these actors. I am a huge fan of wedding crashers too. Love your books. You are so effin funny btw!!!
Ian Harding as Carter. I die dead from agreeing.
Watch The Lucky One. Good book, terrible movie. But Zac Efron’s love scenes make it worth it!
Perfect list! Ian is so close to how I pictured Carter!
I have the most obscene Girltastic crush on you right now!! Zac Effron and Rachel Mcadams are exactly who I pictured, and everyone else you picked couldn’t be better fits!! I have told everyone and their mother about your books and they all love me for it, so thank you for making me super popular!! Can’t wait for what ever else comes flying out of what brain of yours!!
Love them all!
Perfect casting! My daughter is a huge Ian Harding/PLL fan so I’m voting for Ian over Zac even though I do have a HUGE cougar crush on Zac (he is 25 now!)! But I do have Zac in mind for a different book character so Ian it is!
Who ever throws something at you for picking Zac Efron is a complete moron! OMFG! YES YES YES!!! I want him as Carter. And I could totally see him in that beer pong scene in Futures & Frosting.
I agree with everyone else except for Ashton as Drew. I had someone else in mind but I don’t know who exactly.
Sounds good, but about Zack Efron in Charlie St Cloud, haven’t you seen The lucky one??? That’s a better reference, Yummy.
All great choices, but in my head Jenny & Drew were irl couple Anna Farris & Chris Pratt. They cracked me up in What’s your number.
As much as I love the idea of a movie I would love a HBO/Showtime series even more. The great characters you have could live on forever with a cult following. My girlfriends and I quote your book. I can’t imagine how much fun a Sunday night would be sitting down with some friends watching your books come to life. It could be the “Sex in the City” for moms Lo
Loved your dream cast.
Oh man… I love Rachel too. She as the best smile and dimples.
Wow! Zac Afron? That was a surprise, but tell you something, I was kind of shocked when I saw him in that movie “The Luck One” I was thinking “who the hell are you? where did you came from?” Yeah! Hot damm he’s good now, really big. But I vote for Ian, I love that actor too.
Love your cast, but I had a suggestion for you, Seann William Scott as Drew!!! The whole time I read the three books, this is who I pictured as Drew. Drew sounded just like Stifler from “American Pie”! He would make a perfect Drew for you!! Love all of your books! You made me laugh so hard I cried! Thanks for being an awesome writer. Looking forward to A Beautiful Lie!!! 🙂
