Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron Rekindle Their Paperboy Spark in A Family Affair: Exclusive First Look
In the Netflix film, Joey King plays a young woman caught in the middle when her mom begins a romance with her boss
In Netflix’s upcoming rom-com A Family Affair, Joey King plays a young woman who suddenly finds herself caught in the middle when her mom (Kidman) unexpectedly begins a romance with her boss (Efron), who happens to be a famous actor.
PEOPLE has exclusive first-look photos of A Family Affair, which Efron tells PEOPLE is “funny, romantic and entertaining.”
The film marks Efron, 36, and Kidman’s first project together in over a decade. They last starred together in Lee Daniels’ 2012 thriller The Paperboy, in which Kidman, 56, and the High School Musical star shared steamy scenes.
“I was still a bit apprehensive but reuniting with Nicole is always so great and as talented as she as an actress, she is equally kind, caring, and wonderful to spend time with,” he says, promising their chemistry in the upcoming Netflix film is “seamless, natural and fun.”
The interplay between Joey and Zac’s characters as an assistant and star is so much fun,” he adds. “I also love the mother-daughter role reversal where the daughter becomes the disapproving, judgmental, suspicious parent and the mother is sneaking around her back having a love affair that makes her feel like she’s come back to life.”
