Eva Longoria has revealed that she fangirled so hard over the co-stars in her new movie that one of them believed she was a stalker!
The actress, 50, who famously starred in ABC’s comedy-drama series “Desperate Housewives” is starring in the festive British musical comedy-drama movie “Christmas Karma” alongside an ensemble cast of famous names.
That cast includes Pixie Lott, Hugh Bonneville, Kunal Nayyar, Leo Suter, Charithra Chandran, Danny Dyer, Billy Porter, and Boy George â and it’s the latter two who had Longoria starstruck to the point of near-unhealthy obsession.
Eva Longoria Got Billy Porter’s Phone Number (But Not Boy George’s)
Eva Longoria, Billy Porter, and Boy George play the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future, respectively, in the Bollywood-inspired flick â a unique modern retelling of Charles Dickens’ iconic 1843 novella “A Christmas Carol.”
Longoria describes the movie in an interview with Attitude, saying it’s a “modern take on a Christmas classic from Charles Dickens through the lens of director Gurinder Chadha â a brilliant storyteller. Only she could have made this movie. The themes remain relevant today.”
The publication asked the actress why she believes the gay community will love the movie, and she replied by saying, “Because Billy Porter’s in it! Boy George! It’s a musical! You know, any community that’s been marginalised will look at this as a rainbow of freshness. Myself, I’m the Ghost of Christmas Past, Mexican. Billy’s the Ghost of Christmas Present and Boy George, Ghost of Christmas Future. Kunal at the centre of it all as an immigrant.”
She told Attitude that she’s a huge fan of Porter and Boy George. While she managed to acquire Porter’s phone number, she failed to get Boy George’s. She said, “I didnât get Boy George’s. I think he thought I was a stalker!”
‘Christmas Karma’ Is Boy George’s Movie Debut
Boy George will be making his movie debut in “Christmas Karma,” but he has acted on screen and stage previously.
Per IMDb, the singer, former member of Culture Club, and DJ, 64 â whose real name is George O’Dowd â has appeared as himself in show’s like “The A-Team,” “Hollyoaks,” and “The Kumars at No. 42.” He also played Leigh Bowery in the stage production of “Taboo” from 2002 until 2004. It’ll be interesting to see what his first performance in a movie is like.
P.S. Message to Eva Longoria: We’re sure he didn’t think you were a stalker.
“Christmas Karma” is hitting theaters today, November 14. It should be lots of fun, so make sure it’s part of your festive viewing schedule this year!
