People We Meet on Vacation’s Emily Bader Reacts to Costar Tom Blyth Calling Her “The Next Meg Ryan”
Emily Bader will have what Meg Ryan is having.
After the People We Meet on Vacation actress earned comparisons to the When Harry Met Sally star for her performance in the Emily Henry adaptation by not only fans, but her costar Tom Blyth, she told E! News it is “the biggest compliment” she could have ever received.
“She’s so amazing,” Bader explained in an exclusive joint interview alongside Tom. “To even get anywhere close. I will say I’m very inspired. I love actors a lot, so part of the reason I like doing this is seeing characters, seeing actors that I love and trying to maybe learn something from it, so, that was so nice.”
Indeed, Bader admitted that part of the way she prepared to fill the flip flops of Poppy Wright from the beloved novel was to study iconic romantic comedies, particularly films Ryan-led like You’ve Got Mail, Sleepless in Seattle, and more.
“When I first got the job, our director mentioned how big of a fan he is of the sort of ‘90s, 2000s Nora Ephron world of rom-coms,” she explained. “So I watched any and all of them, which was a great way to prep.”
