Meet the cast of Netflix romance Purple Hearts
The romantic drama has proven very popular with subscribers to the streamer.
New movie Purple Hearts has captivated Netflix viewers since it landed on the streamer at the end of July.
The romantic drama stars Sofia Carson as an aspiring singer-songwriter and Nicholas Galitzine as a troubled US Marine, who are forced into a marriage of convenience that eventually becomes a love story.
And Carson recently revealed that she had “immediate” chemistry with Galitzine.
"We didn’t actually get to meet until the night before that we started shooting, and so we literally did not know each other,” she told People Magazine.
She continued, “And the next day, our characters got married. The day after, they professed their love for each other. The day after, he got deployed to Iraq. And then the next day was the love scene in the motel. So we really dove into this film, and we had to build pretty immediate trust with one another.”
Alongside Carson and Galitzine, there are plenty of other familiar faces in the Netflix original.
