“It was a completely different vibe and a different kind of character. It’s great because sometimes you wait and wish for something to come along just to give you a new challenge,” Cynthia said. “It’s been a minute since I showed my funny bone, so this project came up and it was exactly the kind of thing that I’ve wanted to do for a while and it just wasn’t available to me like this.
Inside People we hate in marriageEloise de Cynthia is the older sister of by Kristen Bell Alice and by Ben Platt Pablo. Although Alice and Ben think Eloise has everything under control, she has always felt as if she is looking in from the outside.
“I think what’s interesting about Eloise and even the representation of Eloise within her own family is that she feels like she doesn’t belong,” Cynthia explained. “Although she is an aspiration to other people in the world, even her own siblings, look up to her with admiration and contempt. I think she feels it and realizes it. There’s just that feeling where I feel like these people should get to know me better and I feel like they don’t. I think many people in their families have had experiences like that, both with parents and siblings.”
He continued: “There’s also an interesting idea of blended families, but also mixed cultures. It’s definitely an interesting push between your different cultural identities or different types of heritages that define who you are. It’s definitely something for me that I felt had a strong parallel to. I was born in London but left the UK very, very young, as you can tell from my voice, and moved to the US. My mother is from Ghana so my upbringing was sort of Ghanaian, British and American upbringing. All of them are kind of a combination of my worldview, my experiences, so it’s interesting if you have blended families that come from two different cultures, just to see how sometimes this attempt at merging often leads to a lot of misunderstandings and fortunately, for the film also leads to a lot of comedy.

We both completed our time on our respective shows so I was glad to finally get the chance to see dragon house and I’m like, oh my god, okay, so that’s who he’s playing with. I knew nothing of his character and he knew nothing of mine. But I was hoping some eagle-eyed viewers would see Miriel and Laenor in an alternate universe in a land far, far away as husband and wife.”
In the film, Eloise has heartwarming conversations with her two brothers. Even when emotions run high in familiar situations, Cynthia emphasized that levity matters. “I think some of the things that these characters go through aren’t funny at all, obviously, but I think it’s almost like you can laugh at yourself, you can laugh at the kind of ridiculousness of being in a situation.

I think what I love about the film is that it really strikes a balance. When it’s time to laugh, it’s fun.
