Kiss and tell with Joel Courtney from The Kissing Booth 2
From Girls Life : Kiss and tell with Joel Courtney from The Kissing Booth 2

In The Kissing Booth 2, Joel Courtney plays the kind of BGF every girl dreams of. In real life, he's just as awesome as his character, Lee Flynn—and equally great at giving advice on all things related to life and love. Need proof? Just keep reading.

How do you and co-star Joey King compare to Lee and Elle?

One of the best things about our on-screen relationship is how similar and exact it is to our off-screen friendship. I think the fans are going to absolutely love the sequel—it's just more of Joey and me being goofy and funny and side-stitching together

What's the biggest relationship lesson you've learned?

Communicate openly and kindly, and be willing to listen. There are a lot of things that are just awkward to talk about, but if you can get past the uncomfortable factor of it. there's just a conversation. Then you don't have to hide it from the other person, which causes insecurities on both sides—it feels like there's lying going on, which is the end of all relationships.

What was your first impression of Joey?

The first time I really actually met Joey, we were getting our visas from the consulate so that we could go to South Africa to film. And she was so sick. She was losing her voice, she felt miserable—and she was still like the happiest and most joyful person. I was like, "This girl has a really cool, selfless nature about her."

What's the one thing about Jowy that would surprise people?

She's deeper than people think. I mean, yes, she's one of the funniest, most caring, sweet, kind people I've ever met. But she is, like, deep.

The Kissing Booth 2 has been out for just one day and it’s of course already a big hit!

At the time of this post, the sequel is the number one title in the US on Netflix, AND The Kissing Booth is even the number nine movie in the US.

If you’ve seen the movie, you already know that the surprising ending was kind of left on a bit of a cliffhanger, leaving open the possibility of another movie.

Netflix has yet to announce if a third movie is happening, but fans are yearning for more, and so are we!!

Stars of the movie, Joey KingJoel CourtneyJacob Elordi and newbies Taylor Zakhar Perez and Maisie Richardson-Sellers, are all dishing on the possibility of a third film, but not all of them are exactly on board…

“Well, me and the cast have been talking and we want that so bad and we’re kind of relying on the fans to help us out,” Joey previously said. “They loved the first one so much and they’re the reason that we got a sequel. So if they love this one and they make it known to the world and to Netflix, our fingers are crossed that Netflix will give us a third movie because that’s what we want really badly.”

“So many of these things end with cliffhangers, you kind of leave it up for interpretation,” Jacob told ET about TKB2 being the end. “Myself personally, I don’t know what I’m doing after this phone call, so [I'm] not sure how to answer that… I have no idea.”

“I might be a little biased, but I actually think that our second movie is better than our first. I just love it. I think it’s so good,” Joel told ET. “The fans gave us so much support in the first movie and got us a second one. Who knows? It might happen again.”

“If there was a third film, I would think that he’s doing his band. She’s doing her thing,” Taylor dished to Teen Vogue. “Maybe outside the walls of the high school, things are a little less dramatic… maybe over the summer they reconnect and tell each other how they feel.”

“I felt like it was the perfect ending to the beginning of a third film,” Taylor also said. “I have no idea if Netflix will be doing one, but… we need justice for Marco.”

Maisie shared that she is definitely down for a third movie, saying, “If there is a number three, I would be there in a heartbeat. It definitely ends on a note where Chloe would be there.”

“I wanna see [Chloe] and Elle. I wanna see that relationship develop,” she added. “I want to see how she interacts with Marco. That would be so fun.”
