Washington, DC [US], August 24 (ANI): The Summer I Turned Pretty actor Gavin Casalegno is aware that the internet masses do not love his character Jeremiah due to the plot of the series.
In a recent interview with The New York Times, as quoted by Deadline, the actor reflected on the particular ire his Fisher brother (character in the series) draws from both viewers and even social media accounts of certain brands that proclaim themselves Team Conrad.
They tend to dislike him, yes. I dont check Instagram anymore, so I really havent seen that much hate, Casalegno said as quoted by Deadline.
The only thing that I see is my sister sending me the memes that are really funny. I think it important to also understand and realise that this is a fictional story -- and it also not me, added Casalegno as quoted by Deadline.
The actor further praised Amazon for intervening to reduce the hate for his character, but that not really going so well, he added.
I dont think there a single human being in the world who can carry the emotional negativity to the degree that stuff like this happens. And I think that why Amazon did a good job of stepping in and being like, Hey, no bullying. Though not really going so well, as quoted by Deadline.
Casalegno is referring to a PSA posted by the show official social media account ahead of the Season 3 premiere, which advocated for keeping conversation around the show kind and reaffirmed a ZERO tolerance policy on hate speech, bullying and targeting of cast, reported Deadline.
Adapted from Jenny Han best-selling trilogy, the dramedy stars Lola Tung as Belly, caught between childhood love Conrad (Christopher Briney) and his brother Jeremiah.
Season 3 centres around the upcoming nuptials between the now collegiate Belly and Jeremiah. (ANI)
