When Bella Thorne was seen photographed hanging out with Miley Cyrus’ now-ex-boyfriend Patrick Schwarzenegger a few months ago, she knew was was going to happen — everyone was going to think they were dating and there was trouble in paradise between him and MiCy. And, LBR; She was right. Even though Bella assured the world that she and Pat were just friends, people still had their questions, especially when he and Miley announced their breakup a few weeks later.
So, why were Patrick and Bella hanging out, you may still be wondering? ‘Cause they’re starring in a HUGE new movie together, that’s why! According to Deadline, the two actors were cast as the romantic leads in Midnight Sun, a film based off of the 2006 Japanese adaptation with the same name.
The former Shake It Up actress will play Katie, a “17 year old sheltered since childhood and confined to her house during the day by a rare disease that makes even the smallest amount of sunlight deadly.” Patrick, on the other hand, will be Charlie, the boy who comes in, sweeps her off her feet and helps her embark on a summer adventure.
Patrick’s mom, Maria Shriver, was one of the many who reached out to congratulate the 21 year old on the casting news.
Congrats to @PSchwarzenegger! So exciting. Hard work pays off: http://t.co/QUk1vGM1ly @Deadline
