Alexa PenaVega Goes Solo for Her New Hallmark Project "A Paris Proposal"

quotBecause we filmed in Paris and Bulgaria it made the most sense for me to take this project completely soloquot she continued quotThat was very strange as we never do that But we knew this choice would be easier on our family So I took off by myself It was wild being able to just focus on this project as I haven39t done that in years I kind of didn39t know what to do with myself at first because I could go to sleep at a decent hour rest practice my lines or meet the cast after filming to go over the next day I don39t normally have that luxury as after work I39m home with the family which I care so deeply about but it was a cool variance to be able to totally dive into the moviequotAnother adjustment PenaVega had to make was not having her husband as a scene partner given her last few Hallmark projects have been with him quotIt39s funny amp8230 we39re so used to working together that honestly it39s a little scary for both of us not knowing who you39re working withquot she admitted quotWhen we39re both spearheading a project we set the tone the way the project feels and the mood We always have fun in life and Hallmark letting us work together is a dream come true Where else do you get the opportunity to keep your whole family together People ask 39How do you work with your spouse39 It39s one of the most fun things because we know we can play we know what our limits are and what we39re capable of When it39s my husband we just have the best time ever Some costars aren39t always as easyquotThankfully any concerns PenaVega had about her costar quickly evaporated once she met Nicholas Bishop pictured above with PenaVega who plays her coworkerlove interest Sebastian quotI have to give him serious propsquot she beamed quotHe39s such a gem of a human and so unbelievably professional He39s British yet had to put on a French accent throughout the film He speaks French which was so helpful as I had to learn a good chunk of French for some scenes We got to play and improv and bounce back and forth So many things in this movie weren39t scripted and they kept them in That39s so rare and specialquotIn the film PenaVega portrays Anna an account manager for New York City advertising agency Dash Creative who is forced to team with French native Sebastian Bishop in order to land the account of her career Durand Diamonds To say their working relationship is less than amicable is an understatement Coupled with painful memories of a previous relationship that began with a Parisian honeymoon Anna is less than thrilled about the trip But after the two are mistakenly thought to be married a ruse they perpetuate to help land the deal Anna begins realizing Sebastian might not be so bad and possibly quotthe diamond in the roughquot she39s been looking forquotOkay I39m not gonna lie amp8230 it39s such a swoony city but I never understood Paris because I39d never visited as an adultquot she said quotI was there when I was 13 or 14 years old and I thought the architecture was great but Rome is cool too Going back as an adult was a game changer I fell in love with that city It is gorgeous It is romantic You feel cool walking through the city and there39s no way you can39t feel chicquotHelping with that was the generous and very stylish wardrobe Hallmark provided quotOh the clothesquot she exclaimed quotI used to want all the wardrobe then I39d come home and it would sit in my closet forever because I39m totally not like most of these characters But I did purchase a gown I wore for a gala scene It39s a silver metallic funky dress so cool and so chic I39m like I need this it39s coming home with mequot2023 is shaping up to be a busy year for the PenaVegas Carlos is hitting the road again with his band with family in tow and the couple has more Hallmark projects on the burner quotThe road is funnyquot she said quotThey39re pop stars on stage then poop stars off We39re fullon parents dealing with poopy diapers the minute he39s done so you39re humbled very quicklyquotBut I have to tell youquot she added in closing quotWe39ve been pitching A Paris Proposal 2 so we can go back to Paris and Bulgaria because it was so much fun Honestly I would shoot every movie in Bulgaria if it were up to me it was a whole new scene and it is phenomenalquotA Paris Proposal will be telecast Saturday February 11 at 8 pm on Hallmark Channel as part of their annual Loveuaryamp174 programming eventClick the social buttons to share this content with your friends and colleaguesThe opinions and points of view expressed in this content are exclusively the views of the author andor subjects and do not necessarily represent the views of MediaVillagecomMyersBizNet Inc management or associated writers
