British actor Callum Turner, star of the film 'One Night Only,' joined director and producer Will Gluck at the Sydney premiere of their new movie. The event, held at the Entertainment Quarter, saw guests mingling with Turner for the film's one-night-only promotional stop in the city.
There's only one ingredient that you need. And it's the two people that you want to watch fall in love.
Gluck, no stranger to Sydney after filming the hit 'Anyone But You' there, addressed moviegoers alongside Turner during a brief Q&A session. He highlighted the chemistry between Turner and his co-star, Monica Barbaro, describing them as "amazing actors, and they're even better people." Gluck playfully suggested that Turner's star power overshadowed his own presence, joking that even if he were naked, all attention would remain on Turner.
Turner, known for his roles in 'Masters of the Air' and the 'Fantastic Beasts' franchise, quipped in response to Gluck's comment about his own presence, "He's going to do the next Q&A naked. Put that to the test." The film 'One Night Only' stars Turner and Barbaro as Allie and Owen, two individuals who cross paths in a fictionalized New York City where single people are only allowed to have sex on one specific night of the year.
They're two amazing actors, and they're even better people โฆ they're huge stars.
The movie explores whether Allie and Owen will act on their desires for more than a fleeting encounter, given the unique premise. The film has been described as a "gorgeously fun film based on an outrageous concept." Turner has previously called speculation about him being the next James Bond "amusing," while opinion writer Patrick Ryan has suggested Turner possesses the qualities needed for the role.
He's going to do the next Q&A naked. Put that to the test.
