About this video

At this point, it's a yearly tradition! Since 2019, romance-drama fans have been enthralled year after year by the intense 'After' movie series, based on the popular Anna Todd book series. Now, the fourth movie, 'After Ever Happy', based on the fourth book of the same name, has made its way into theatres and into our hearts, so it only felt natural that we at Young Hollywood should once more hit up our guy, Hardin himself, Hero Fiennes Tiffin, to get the scoop! Via Zoom, Hero discusses the movie and his reaction to the twist for his character, and what scene from the movie he'd like to see go viral. He also reveals which of the movies has been his favorite to film (so far), the impact he hopes the movies will have years from now, and what sort of different role he'd love to take on with his co-star Josephine Langford in the future!

It's hard. There's aspects that I've loved about all of them for different reasons. I feel like the first one was so overwhelming but I was just learning so much. It was like, you know, a lot going on and then three and four were so good because I really was at a point where I've really got to know the character now and I can not worry so much or as much about performance because the fans were so kind and complimentary of of the work we did in one and two. But then we shot that during during like COVID and we had some strict COVID regulations, so that wasn't too enjoyable for that reason. So yeah, I feel like all of them, all of them for slightly for slightly different reasons. I know I, I hope so. I mean, in the other things that I've done, the fans have been so supportive and producers of other things have told me, have said like they've reshared and they've done half of the kind of promo for us because they really just like want to pick up and do their bit and support everything and I'm so grateful for that. Um, it really allows me to not have to pick and choose because of other more boring, you know, reasons but I can just pick and choose the films that I would really enjoy to make and love to do and they give me the freedom to do that. So yeah, eternally grateful to the to the after fandom and I hope that they continue to to support me and I believe they will in in the other things I do. Yeah, definitely. I think it's such a smart, clever way to make it kind of come back around full circle and um yeah, I think it's, I think it's really welcome. I can't wait for the fans to see this one. Um, I think they I think they're going to love it. But yes, I do think that that was so so cool how his, you know, his I don't without ruining too much, but like his journal turns into what it is and then yeah, yeah. It's like it's really nice especially when you spend four movies and four years doing something for it to come back around to the start and not feel like we're just trailing off. It's like it all it's all come full circle, yeah. Um, I don't know. I don't know if it it would be very interesting. Um, I'm sure it'd be similar to Harden's and just be about my experience on after and how much I've grown as a person and an actor. Maybe how much I've how much I've grown and how far I've come, how many different places I've got to travel to, how many people I've got to meet, um, and how many, you know, fans I've got to kind of like interact with. And I guess like there's there's a group of amazing women in America who have become great friends and raised like mad amount of money for a charity that I like expressed some kind of support for and interest in. And speaking to people, um, about just how their personal life has improved from from watching after and making friends and getting over their past traumas and issues and, you know, you set out to be an actor to enjoy enjoy the job and and pay your bills and then you realize there's all these amazing other uh, pros that come with it. Um, so yeah, I think I think positively impacting people's lives with the work is something I never expected, but that might be the thing I'm most proud of, yeah. Ooh, um, I think again, I know you're saying it will come out after but something towards something towards the end, maybe the maybe like the book shop the book shop bit or yeah, I'm going to go for the the book shop bit. I think that's quite a cool moment. I think it's like nice to know that there's that kind of he doubts him he he thinks he's not quite sure whether it was definitely her or not and I think that's quite a quite a cool little moment. And I know that scene almost kind of tells a story in itself alone. You don't need to know too much about what's going on to kind of know. So I think that might do might do quite well.

I don't even have TikTok and obviously everything filters through your YouTube and Instagram and all the other apps anyway, but now you've given me an extra reason to maybe grab someone else's phone and do some TikTok digging around the time the phone comes out.

Or do you? No, I think I think they're probably sick and tired of seeing my face anyway. They don't want to. Yeah. Um, but no, no. Every now and then I get do you know what? I still see stuff sometimes. I don't click on it too much, but as much as I don't post on Instagram, I'm still on there every now and then scrolling through. So I still I still see but now I'm probably going to pick a friend who's not too sick of me to get them to send me the some of the best stuff. Yeah, comedy would be fun. Um, I think we both said how much we love Mr. and Mrs. Smith, so maybe like an action like that. Um, yeah, maybe like we're a little like tag team action duo. That'd be quite cool. I don't know, no. I'm sure I'll watch it again. Um, I don't know. I don't know. I don't have any plans just yet and I'm not going to drag any friends along with me, I don't think. But um, but no, we'll see. We'll see. Maybe I have a little screening for for friends who do want to see it, but um, I'll definitely be watching it myself again for sure.
