Joey King, star of the Netflix trilogy 'The Kissing Booth', has responded to criticism from co-star and ex-boyfriend Jacob Elordi, stating she had a great time making the movies despite Elordi's negative comments.
Elordi, who played Noah Flynn in the series, recently described the films as 'ridiculous' and an 'escape', and said he felt 'dead inside' while filming them.
King's response was echoed by fellow 'Kissing Booth' actor Taylor Zakhar Perez, who said it was a 'shame' that Elordi had such a negative experience and that everyone else had a 'wonderful experience'.
Elordi's comments have sparked controversy among fans and cast members, with many defending the films and their impact on audiences during the pandemic.
Despite the controversy, King expressed interest in a potential fourth installment of the series, suggesting it could explore where the characters are in their fifties.
