Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz Beckham may be head over heels in love [1] (at least according to their social media pages), but when it comes to her professional judgement, Nicola isn't blinded by rose-coloured glasses.

In a 30 Oct. interview with The Sunday Times Style [2], Nicola revealed that she didn't hesitate to cut Brooklyn from her new film, "Lola James," when his acting skills weren't up to par. "I directed a film last year that I wrote when I was 23," she said. "And Brooklyn is still mad at me, but he was like, 'Can I be in your movie?' And I was like, 'Oh my gosh, I would be honoured, but we have to disguise you.'"

"Obviously he's covered in tattoos and he's British. So, he did a few parts in the background, which if you pay attention, you can find, but in one scene he's like, 'Can I put the mic on? I wanna say a line,'" she continued. But Nicola said she wasn't impressed with his performance. "I started laughing so hard," she added. "He had the most British accent ever. I ended up cutting him out! He sat there, in the editing room, he was like, 'Did you really just cut me out while I'm sitting here?'. . . I was like, 'Yes, I love you so much!'"

Nicola is starring in, producing, and directing the feature, which does not yet have a release date. According to Deadline [3], "Lola James" follows a 19-year-old girl living in middle America in the early 2000s who's fighting to get her little brother out of a toxic home situation.
