The HBO Max film, Unpregnant stars Haley Lu Richardson and Barbie Ferreira, playing two high school ex-friends who take a road trip.
Five Things You Need to Know:
- Co-star Barbie Ferreira doesn't have a drivers license, only a permit and loved any chance to get behind the wheel.
- Richardson has always loved road trips, saying: "I’ve always driven around Flagstaff or Phoenix to Utah or to Vegas and then I went on a motor home trip with my parents when I was younger."
- Richardson, who turns 26 in March, talked about the hot button issue of abortion, saying: "It inspired me in a way because I felt so much empathy for her character and thought of girls in similar or harder situations. It was extremely important for me to bring as much truth to that specific aspect of Veronica and her decision to get the abortion."
- During prep, Richardson, Ferreira, and director Rachel Lee Goldberg toured a Planned Parenthood clinic and were walked through each stage of the process.
- Up next, Richardson will co-star with Colin Farrell in a dramatic sci-fi film called After Yang, while Ferreira goes back to playing Kat Hernandez on HBO's Euphoria.
