Sure, Netflix's The Kissing Booth [1] is filled with dramatic romances, but one of the best parts of the film is the friendship between Elle and Lee. When Joey King [2] and Joel Courtney aren't showing off their incredible chemistry in the films [3], they're goofing off with each other offscreen. From striking a pose on the red carpet to dancing in hilarious Instagram videos, their real-life friendship would probably make their own characters jealous.
In an interview with Backstage, Joel added that his friendship with Joey really helped him jump back into character [4] for the sequel. "I was a little nervous to see if I was able to pull it off or not," he said. "The second I read the script and Joey [King] and I got together on it, I was like, no, this is not going to be an issue, bringing a character back is not going to be as hard. I can see it being more difficult for other things, but the real-life friendship that Joey and I have really allows for us to just go back to our characters and comfortably dive back in." As we wait for The Kissing Booth 2 [5] to drop on July 24, see some of Joey and Joel's best friendship moments ahead.
