Corey Mylchreest speaks Costar Chemistry and ROM-Com roles

Corey Mylchreest More than happy to be your favorite new romantic leader.

“In (terms) storytelling, I think (romantic films) are quite fulfilling,” said Mylchreest, 27, Weekly US When discussing his new film, My Oxford year. “I think a lot of the time, ROM-COMS can be a bit like medication. They can give a lot of escape, especially at the moment. The world is not a very coherent and happy place. give you, be given. ”

During the past few years, Mychreest has begun to confirm his name in the romance genre, first staring as King George Young on the Bridgerton skill Queen’s Charlotte In 2023 before being cast as Jamie in another Netflix project, the movie adaptation of Julia Whelan’s My Oxford year.

While the two projects are filled with their own beats of comedy and levity, they also share a great deal of tragedy, with Mylchreest in the middle of the heartbreak. Queen’s Charlotte Following the early life of the royal (played by India amartifio) Her marriage to George Mylchreest as they navigate through a flowering romance and his developing illness. My Oxford yearMeanwhile, Mylchreest sees as a bright young teacher who meets the love of his life while fighting a fatal illness.

Mylchreest loves to infuse comedy to his roles, but, as an actor, there is also a satisfactory part of playing tragedy on screen.

“(They) tend to give you a lot to do. I mean George’s characters and Jamie’s character, both of them are complicated people,” he explained. “And as an actor, you get the scope to do a lot of things. There’s a comedy in both. There’s a tragedy in both. Everything is between them.”

Mylchreest stated that he had the opportunity to “explore many different relationships” through the projects he has chosen. “Parents’ relationship, familiar, romantic, platonic, the whole spectrum,” he said. “There’s so much to do and flex your muscles and challenge yourself and learn. If anything, the tragic love story gives you a scope to do it as an actor.”

Of course, there is another important factor in any romance film: Chemistry. It’s another aspect of the genre in which Mylchreest excels – fans went wild over his dynamic on screen with ambulching – but not something that is probably exactly science. (Editor’s Note: Yes, we asked if Mylchreest return to Bridgerton. The answer? “I don’t know!”)

“Commitment to the role, commitment to the project, meeting with similar levels of passion and commitment is definitely an joining thing,” he said of what is necessary in creating sparks between Costars. “It’s a very fragile thing to turn up and give your best, because if your best isn’t good enough, then you’re very open. So I think holding each other’s metaphorical hands is a very fragile thing to do. And I think it’s also a very bond to do.”

Mylchreest added that coming together also “hurts” – but then again, it has never been put in a situation where someone goes under his skin.

“I’m very lucky because I haven’t had experience where I’m not getting on with my scene partner,” he admitted. “It makes the day a lot easier.”

If fans loved what he had gone with amartifio, they are sure to be just as proud of the romance between his character and Sofia Carson’s in My Oxford year. But despite the electricity evident between them in scenes, Mylchreest admitted that the duo does not see chemistry the same way.

“Sophia is much more in the camp that (chemistry) is this unpractly. And I think I find it more about a commitment to the role independently and your willingness to jump in and find out what their relationship is,” he said. “And be specific about what those two people get attractive to each other and are pulled towards each other. Whether their shared passion is for poetry, a shared readiness to escape their environment, whatever it is.”

Mychreest and Carson, 32, also benefited an intimacy coordinator on a set, something that the British actor calls “invaluable.”

“It’s such an incredible privilege of working in the industry at a time when we have an unprecedented presentation of intimacy coordinators,” he said UsNoting, as a man, he is “already” in a “site where I feel more comfortable” in some situations. ” And I find it very important. So it’s obviously very, very important. “

Mylchreest joined an intimacy coordinator Lucy Fennell over My Oxford yearwho worked with him too Queen’s Charlotte. The Bridgerton World, fans know, is famous for its love scenes. “It was amazing,” he said. “It’s like having a fighting co -ordinator or dance coordinator. It’s a very skilled job what they do.”

He noted that finding the right level of intimacy is a balance between “reading what is on the page” and “turning that into physical and tangible” while also “allowing the actors to give their interpretation the two that the characters would do.”

“And (discuss) what their boundaries are and find a place between them that fuses the levels of comfort and the creative instincts of everyone,” he continued. “And then work alongside the director too, often the producers. It’s a very difficult thing they do. And I’m so glad they do.”

As so many of the movies Netflix has become known in recent years, My Oxford year Promises to achieve intimacy at all levels – romantic or otherwise – but there is so much more to the story than that alone. Mylchreest, for one, hopes the film will do what every successful romance film intended to do: help people “lose themselves” for just a few.

“Test all the lightness of the com and the ROM, and hopefully take the characters’ journey sufficiently to feel something at the end,” he said Us, Viewers’ banter will also receive an unexpected gift of learning more about Victorian poetry, even if against their will. “And I guess awareness of the importance and pleasure of the present moment. So amazing and how much improvement it can make in your life to become more present and embrace the mess at times.”
