Plus, who’s more similar to their character: Dylan Sprouse or Hero Fiennes Tiffin.
Josephine Langford’s life hasn’t changed much from the After franchise. “There are a lot more edits of me on the internet than there ever existed before,” she tells StyleCaster.” People say, ‘Oh. I thought you were pregnant because I saw a photo on the internet where you had a kid.’ I’m like, ‘No. I’m not pregnant.’”
But aside from the edits and the rare moments when she’s stopped on the street by fans, her life is about the same. “I have the same friends. I do the same stuff. Nothing has really changed for me in my day to day life,” she says.
Although her life hasn’t changed, the same can’t be told to the fans of the After franchise, a movie series based on Anna Todd’s 2014 novel (and Harry Styles fanfiction) of the same title. The first of the films, After, came out in 2019. The second film, After We Collided, premieres on October 23, 2020. Langford also confirmed that a third and fourth film are in the works. In the series, Langford stars as Tessa Young, a freshman in college who starts a relationship with Hardin Scott (Hero Fiennes Tiffin), her school’s local bad boy. After We Collided follows Tessa and Hardin’s love story after she discovers that he was only courted because of a bet.
“Tessa is at a different stage in her life,” Langford says of how After We Collided is different than After. “You’re no longer playing who’s in her first year of college. You’re playing a girl after she’s experienced heartbreak. She’s starting an internship. She’s at a different point in her life.”
Ahead, Langford talked to StyleCaster about whether she would want a relationship like Tessa and Hardin’s, how Dylan Sprouse’s character, Trevor Matthews, affects their relationship and what fans can expect from the third and fourth movie after the cliffhanger in After We Collided. (Spoilers ahead.)
