Summary
This week, Tommy is joined by actor Mason Gooding who you will see starring opposite Olivia Holt in the upcoming romantic comedy horror film, Heart Eyes. Heart Eyes is about a masked killer who terrorizes romantic couples on Valentine’s Day. The killer has a new target, and Mason’s character spends the most romantic night of the year trying to stay alive. You also know and love Mason from a bunch of other fan-favorite projects (Love Victor, Y2K, I Want You Back), and perhaps most notably as Chad Meeks-Martin in the Scream franchise. Today, Mason opens up about if he is as smooth in real life as his character in Heart Eyes, what he loves about working in the horror genre, why he jumped at the opportunity to work with Olivia Holt, how he builds authentic chemistry with his co-stars, why human connection is so important to him, how to master the “slow motion scare” in a horror film, his reaction to the Scream 7 script, the first look into what we can expect with the latest film, if he always knew that he would be a part of Scream 7, what he really thinks about spoilers leaking online as the movie is being filmed, how much filming he has left to do, the unexpected thing he did to put himself out there to land a dream role, how he’s cultivated a positive mindset over the years, what he has never publicly said before, and so much more.
