Jameson Blake admitted that he was hesitant to take the role as the lead actor of Boys Love film My Lockdown Romance.
In a live global blog conference, the actor revealed that after he was offered the role, he immediately first sought the opinions of his mother and his manager before accepting the project.
“Honestly, I was a bit hesitant at first when I was offered the role because it was new to me. It’s a role that I’ve never done before. And I had to think twice and I had to ask opinions from like my manager, from my mom, what they would think,” Blake said.
“And I just decided I want to try something new. I mean like how can I grow as an actor if I’m not going to explore more roles, that’s what I thought. So I read the script, it was light, I like it. It was also cute so yeah I just decided to do it,” Blake said.
For his co-lead actor, Joao Constancia, he also admitted that he was excited to try something different in his acting career,
“For me, when I was offered the role, I was surprised in the beginning because I never thought I will be offered into this type of role but I was more of excited because it’s going to be a whole new experience for me. Like when I read the script, I was amazed and was really into it. So, yeah, I was just so excited about it.”
