The cast also includes Sam Woolf, Robin Weigart, and a host of other talented actors.<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on her experience, King admits on the \u201cJust for Variety\u201d podcast that she admires method actors for their dedication but finds solace in moments of release between takes. \u201cHaving those moments of release in between setups and in between takes with your friends [is needed],\u201d she shares. \u201cSometimes you need that release at the snack table with each other\u2026because it got really dark.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Acknowledging the heavy emotional toll of filming such a series, King appreciates Hulu\u2019s provision of trauma therapists on set. She emphasizes the importance of the cast leaning on each other for support, recounting movie nights with co-stars as a respite from the intensity of the shoot.<\/p>\n<p>King, now 24, opens up about facing antisemitism, revealing that her encounters began at the age of 12 on social media. \u201cNow I just expect it because antisemitism is not the only thing I experience in terms of bullying online,\u201d she shares, highlighting the prevalence of online harassment.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the challenges, King\u2019s career continues to soar across various genres, from action-fantasy to rom-coms. She expresses excitement about her upcoming role in the Richard LaGravenese-directed rom-com \u201cA Family Affair\u201d alongside Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron, her childhood crush.<\/p>\n<p>King also reminisces about her experience working with Taylor Swift on music videos, praising Swift\u2019s confidence as a director. Reflecting on her journey from a \u201cHigh School Musical\u201d fan to a successful actress, King\u2019s resilience shines through in both her career and personal life.<\/p>\n<p>As she navigates Hollywood\u2019s diverse landscape, Joey King remains a beacon of talent and strength, ready to take on any role that comes her way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In her latest venture, Joey King delves into the emotional terrain of the Holocaust series \u201cWe Were the Lucky Ones,\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":35828,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67,69],"tags":[6241,11988],"class_list":["post-35827","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrity-news","category-film","tag-joey-king","tag-we-were-the-lucky-ones"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35827","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35827"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35827\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35828"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35827"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35827"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35827"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
