Harry Connick Jr.’s response to the skinny-dipping scene
Harry Connick Jr. in an interview with Decider opened up about the skinny-dipping scene when asked. He said, “That was really fun. I got to hang out in this ridiculously beautiful part of the ocean. I wasn’t skinny-dipping. I think I had some kind of like, flesh-colored boxers, on, or something.”
He continued, “But that’s the kind of day that you’re floating around the water saying, “What do I do for a living? This is the coolest thing ever!” It was really fun, and everybody was just thrilled to be there, and it was a funny scene. It was very difficult for the crew, but all I had to do was float around for six hours! I was happy to do that.”
Harry Connick Jr. on his character John Allman
Talking about the character, Harry shared how the musician’s backstory of the character was the easy part for him to delve into. However, the fun part was that he explored a different part of the character. While he is happily married and has three daughters, his character, John “had a little bit of a more challenging road. He made some bad decisions with substance abuse and promiscuity, and just things that didn’t work out well for him.”
Grammy award winner for When Harry Met Sally further praised the scriptwriter Stelana and shared the complexities of his character in Find Me Falling. He said, “He’s this complex guy who lost something along the way, and he’s desperately trying to find it. But he doesn’t really know what he’s looking for and if he did, how to find it. And circumstantially, he was able to start to heal. I thought that was really well written by Stelana.”
