Adding, “Ever since then, we act like a family. We go do stuff together outside of this, we go go-karting and eat dinner!”
Revealing just how much she relates to her on-screen character, the actress explained that landing the part of Jade was a “dream come true.” She spoke with Just Jared, telling the digital outlet that she definitely sees a bit of herself in the character, being an older sister herself in real life.
