In his interview with Brief Take, the Irish actor revealed that he loved Dating Amber instantly after reading the script. O’Shea mentioned he had an intense feeling that he needed to do this movie, and his co-star Petticrew just made the actor’s decision even more worth it.
The movie unfolds a friendship between two Queer individuals who help each other in their journey of identifying their sexual orientation.
What worked for the movie’s best interest was the friendship that the two shared during their time of the shoot.
Because it was filmed in the lockdown phase and the actors were in isolation together during the filming, it helped bloom an intimate friendship between the two.
Recalling their first meeting, Petticrew acknowledged that it would be impossible for her to imagine doing the film with anyone other than O’Shea. Adding on, the actress confessed that both of them found each other ‘cool.’
Their mutual trust helped strengthen their performances in the movie, as the actor revealed he put in some of his own personality in Eddie, and the friendship seen on screen was no different from one he and Petticrew shared in real life.
