Joey King Reveals What It Was Like Filming With Ex Jacob Elordi on 'Kissing Booth 2'

Joey King plays with her hair on the September 2020 cover Cosmopolitan magazine.

Here’s what the 21-year-old Kissing Booth actress had to say:

On acting with her ex-boyfriend, Jacob Elordi: “No one’s thinking to themselves, That was easy, because it wasn’t. I’m sure people will analyze every movement and every detail. And you know what? Let them. But at the end of the day, I was just thrilled to be Elle Evans again…There’s so much I want to say. What’s the most, um, correct way to go about this? Elle Evans needs her Noah Flynn, and whatever that means for my personal life, I’ll do anything to make sure the story of my character who I care about so much is complete.”

On setting goals: “Some people are really good about setting goals—if they set a goal, they know they have to do it and they won’t feel good until they do it. I am the same way, yet I still let myself not get it done for some reason.”

On 2020 and hope: “2020 is a piece of shit. And I know it’s silly to hope that everything’s beautiful by September because it won’t be. So I’m hoping that there’s hope. That’s more realistic.”
