Kate Bosworth Reveals The Film Genre She Eagerly Tackled In Along For The Ride – Exclusive

On why Kate Bosworth loved playing Heidi and the genre opportunity the film offered her, she said, “I loved playing Heidi because, at first, I suppose what I look for is a duality in a character, having the vulnerability and also having a real strength. I was excited to play her because I don’t often get the opportunity to explore comedy very much.” Heidi’s comedic moments in the film are subtle and relatable, and Bosworth’s comedic timing is impeccable. 

She also wants fans to know that Heidi is more than the first impression viewers might get from her. “There is a lot of me in her, but I love so much the reveal that while some people might think upon first glance that she’s ditzy and you’re not quite sure if she’s got much depth there, you realize through the arc of [the] character and through the rest of the story what she’s struggling with and how she ultimately overcomes it,” she added. “The relationship between her and Auden is such a special one.”

“Along for the Ride” is now streaming on Netflix.
