The 24-year-old American actress got the chance to explore Europe’s most glamorous destinations when shooting upcoming movie Monte Carlo. The film tells the tale of three young women who take a trip to Paris and end up being taken to gambling hotspot Monte Carlo after one of the girls is mistaken for a British heiress. The film also stars 18-year-old singer-and-actress Selena Gomez, and Leighton admits plenty of fun in the sun was had during the making of the movie.
“We went to the beach and sipped on Daiquiris and rode on the back of this crazy banana-boat thing and screamed for dear life...” laughed Leighton, recalling some of their hair-raising seaside pastimes.
Leighton thoroughly enjoyed working with Selena, and all her other female castmates. She is pleased to say there was a truly convivial vibe on set, with all the ladies getting along swimmingly.
“That was incredible! We filmed in Budapest, Paris, Monte Carlo. The girls were good girls and we really bonded,” she gushed to Total Film.
