ALEX ROE

Is this Alex Hi, Alex, I have a confession to make its Confession Session. We do this on my radio show, Confession Session. I got the premiere, a preview copy of your movie, and I watched it with my teenage daughters. Right, So, so you broke the rules, is what you did? Well? Know what I did is I created monsters. Because they're now like, oh my god, Mom, Oh my god, mom, can you get that guy on the radio? Please? Oh please, please please please? Can you talk to him on the radio? Please? Amazing?

That's what their names. Should we give them a shout you should you should give a shout out to Blessing, to bridget to angel to my niece Teresa c C. Yeah, so you really created a few fans for me there. I really appreciate that. You are absolutely adorable. I I just my little heart went pitter pat as I watched the movie. And what is the name of the little girl, the actress that played your daughter in the movie. Her name is Wright a fourth to them, and she is

She's incredible. She's so funny, and yeah, she's so smart. You know, you know when you find a kid that's like, she's eight years old, but she's she's like, I feel like she's smarter than me, and I feel like I can't let her know. And the energy between the two of you was dartling. I believed it. I mean I believed that that the relationship, the way that it just developed naturally, it was very well done, very believable. So

kudos to both of you. Thank you. Yeah, she's I was very lucky that she was done to improvise and uh, and I was kind of figuring out how I've never worked with a with a child actor before, so I was trying to as Liam was kind of figuring out how to how to kind of be a father of some sort. I was trying to figure out how to how to act without me. So it was kind of

this uh yeah, there was. I think it. I think it made the chemistry good on the screen because I was trying to figure it out as I was going off. So is it true you did not sing before this movie? Because I thought when I saw it, Okay, this is just a really cute, young, hot country singer, and they are, you know, using this movie to get how good he is out there. And then I'm like, no, no, he's he's not. He's not even from the South. He's not

even Southern. He's British. And I also, yeah, I've never I've never really sung in public before, to be honest, this was the first audition I've ever gone to where I was actually singing um And yeah, yeah, I was kind of a little bit of a closeted singer and didn't more we broke that closet door down. But yeah, And I was really lucky that I got to work with this guy called Brett boy Yett who's been in the country scene for quite a while, and he really

showed me who to listen to. I was listening to some Ducks Bentley and some Brett eld Rich and I listened to a little bit of Chris Stapleton, but realized that I definitely couldn't sing like Chris Stapleton. Um and yeah, kind of focused more on on on other on other types. But yeah, yeah, yeah, I yeah, I had to work really hard to try and sound like I could actually sing country. I wish I could tell you that it just like came really easily to me, but it didn't.

It was hard work. It was hard work. And the little girl was it hard work for her as well? Was that really her voice when you two were doing the duet, Yeah, that was really her voice. Yes, she learned how to she learned how to play the banjo. She was she and her voices has incredibly cute too. We had a couple of practice sessions together and she was great on stage. She wasn't like crazy nervous or anything. But yeah, it was it was a good bonding experience

for us to to learn the song together. Well, yeah, you nailed it. It was Darling. Loved the movie. Cute story, sweet romance. Wonderful to see the evolution of your character from kind of a jerk. Yeah, I just I feel like it's we've We've had a lot of screening and stuff around the country, and like families have been going to see it, and they're coming out with the kids from with like various ages from like teenagers to like five six years old, and they've enjoyed it all for

different reasons. I like singing along to the songs and stuff. And then you've got like couples that are going to see it and they've had a great date night. And then you've got friends that are going in, like hordes of friends going to see it. And Yeah, it's just it's cool to make a movie that like it seems to have quite a wide reach, you know that a

lot of people seem to be enjoying for different reasons. Well, we have all age groups, my nine year old, my teenagers, my young adults, and and me who's kind of out of all of those categories, and we all loved it. It's darling, just very very sweet. Like you said, really

good family movie would be a fun date. Uh. But I was just really um impressed when I found out that this that that you weren't a music artist, that they were just giving a movie to, that you're an actor that learned how to sing and play like that. I was very impressed. Yeah, that means a lot of your opinion on that means a lot. That my dad was in a country band. My dad was the lead guitarist and singer in the country band my whole life

growing up. And we're talking old school country, you know, like bucko On's in the Buckaroos and like I walk the line, that kind of country. So you know, I grew up on it. That was the first genre I heard. And uh, And I'm very impressed with you, young man. I can't wait to see what you do next. Thank you so much. I really Yeah, that means that means a lot coming from you, Alex. Thank you so much for taking time to talk to us on the Delilah Show.
