If you want a good dose of love and silliness, we recommend The Kissing Booth trilogy on Netflix. Between an innocent love story and an idyllic setting, a shooting secret will amaze you. One of the actresses was drugged on the set of the third installment.
The romantic trilogy The Kissing Booth has made more than one dream. Idyllic setting, vacation with friends, impossible love story… It’s the perfect recipe for Netflix romances. But as each shoot has its little anecdotes, a leading actress in the saga said she was drugged on the set of the third installment.
Joey King drugged on the set of The Kissing Booth
Joey King portrays Elle Evans in The Kissing Booth , aka the title character. If the Netflix trilogy tells the more or less innocent love story of Elle and Noah Flynn, camped by Jacob Elordi , on the set, the atmosphere was a little different. On the set of Jimmy Kimmel, Joey King confessed to being on cannabis during a scene in The Kissing Booth 3. “On the last day of filming Kissing Booth 3, I consumed a cannabis edible while we were filming. It was really something very unprofessional,” she says.

But what scene are we talking about? “I ingested it during the scene where my best friend Lee and I have a heart-to-heart talk on the boardwalk. The one where I lied to him about college. I was totally stoned “, explains Joey King. It’s not easy to concentrate when you’re under the influence of cannabis . She also specifies: “I still had seven scenes to shoot. And we had to do more takes. My friend Taylor, who plays Marco, was not shooting that day and he too ingested food made from cannabis”.
The atmosphere on the set of The Kissing Booth
The Kissing Booth is a bit like the trilogy you watch when you want to change your mind. It’s fresh, it’s light, and it’s fun. But what about the atmosphere on the set? If we are sometimes sad to learn that certain actors do not have chemistry in real life, like Blake Lively and Leighton Meester in Gossip Girl, for The Kissing Booth , there is no disappointment. Artists love each other. Indeed, Joey King and his sidekick Joel Courtney, who plays Lee, are very close in real life. They often post photos together on social media, and the Elle singer used to tease her co-star on set. While Joel Courtney was practicing at Dance Dance Revolution, Joey King snuck up behind him and pulled his pants down.
We also know that Jacob Elordi and Joey King fell in love on the set of The Kissing Booth 1 and were an adorable couple for a year. In 2018, the couple unfortunately separated, failing to manage the media pressure around their story. But the two actors remained on good terms and managed to offer more than convincing performances on the second and third parts.
