In the world of romantic comedies, Camila Mendes and Archie Renaux are making a splash with their latest film, Upgraded. In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, Mendes, 29, and Renaux, 26, shared their experience working together to bring this heartwarming love story to life.
Chemistry is key in any rom-com, and Mendes believes it is what made the romantic comedies from the '90s so beloved. She explained, 'There was a time when people actually did chemistry readings, and I think that still happens [...] I haven't been in one in a long time.' Mendes and Renaux formed a strong connection even before meeting in person, thanks to text messages exchanged through their shared manager. This laid the foundation for a good dynamic and rapport when they started filming.
