Kevin James on making this movie<\/p>\n
Kevin opened up about making this rom-com, which was filmed in Italy.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis movie means the world to me,\u201d he exclaimed. \u201cIt has the greatest cast and crew, and I am really happy with how it turned out.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kevin James on the development of the story<\/p>\n
On the development of the story, Kevin said, \u201cThe story that we came up with and how it developed just kept growing.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cI was so thankful because Italy was such an amazing character in the movie, so it was fun doing it with the whole crew there (who spoke Italian),\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was just fun! We had the obstacle of coming together and overcoming the language barrier, and that became a part of the movie,\u201d he admitted.<\/p>\n
Kevin James on whether this film redefined him about being alone and independent<\/p>\n
When asked if this film redefined him about being alone and independent, Kevin responded, \u201cThat\u2019s a really good point! There is confidence in being independent and being able to do that, but we are meant to be with people, and we are meant to be in a relationship or a friendship. We all need it!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s amazing how much relationship is a medicine for us\u2026 to be with others and to have other people,\u201d he acknowledged.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is why this film is just as much a bromance as it is with these guys. They\u2019ve helped my character out through some hard times, and it was really awesome, and they certainly helped,\u201d he elaborated.<\/p>\n
Lessons learned from the \u2018Solo Mio\u2019 screenplay<\/p>\n
On the lessons learned from the \u201cSolo Mio\u201d screenplay, Kevin reflected, \u201cIt taught me that we are all vulnerable, and being alone really exposes you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou want to find people, whether it\u2019s friends, a girlfriend, or a wife, or whatever it is, and be with people and laugh with people, and that\u2019s a comfort,\u201d the Long Island native elaborated.<\/p>\n
\u201cSometimes, there is a lack of that, and it turns into fear and anxiety, and all those things. So, you can see how it can go bad. Again, you will never know when you will find love,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n
