Joey King Reveals She Was High While Filming One Kissing Booth Scene
The Kissing Booth 3 star Joey King reveals she was very high on cannabis while shooting a scene for the movie. King received wide recognition for her leading role in the Kissing Booth trilogy, and is also known for her roles in Fargo, Ramona and Beezus, and The Act, the last of which netted her an Emmy nomination for her performance. The Kissing Booth 3 also stars Jacob Elordi, Joel Courtney, and Molly Ringwald.
The Kissing Booth 3 follows Elle (King) as she's torn between attending Harvard with her boyfriend Noah (Elordi) and Berkley with her best friend Lee (Courtney). The conflict eventually boils over to a confrontation between Elle and Lee on the boardwalk, where Elle tells Lee she's tired of trying to make everyone else happy.
