I seem to be racking up quite the record on doing interviews for Nicholas Sparks movies. What started with SAFE HAVEN and continued with THE LONGEST RIDE has led me to THE CHOICE, the latest film adapted from a Sparks novel hitting theaters this weekend. I had a chance to sit down with stars Benjamin Walker and Teresa Palmer (the latter I interviewed previously for WARM BODIES), and we discussed their on screen chemistry, working with animals, doing love scenes and more. It’s a fun interview in which it’s easy to see these two play well off each other even off-screen. Check it out below, and look for THE CHOICE in theaters this weekend.
