Joey King & Logan Lerman Cover The WRAP
Logan Lerman and Joey King are on the cover of the new issue of The Wrap. The pair is on the cover to promote their hit series, We Were the Lucky Ones. Highlights from their interview are below.
Logan on why he joined the series: “It was really appealing to explore the Jewish refugee experience, which I really hadn’t seen before. There’s a universal thing at the core of this: It’s about people that are at the center of these conflicts and the real human stories and human suffering that happens in the middle of an event like this. So if we can find angles that haven’t been explored before and ways to tell these stories, I think we should tell them.”
Joey on her character: “She’s hiding her identity, and a lot of Jewish people had to do that. It’s not a story of a family in concentration camps. It’s a story of them maneuvering their way through Europe somehow. It’s just miracle after miracle — that’s why it’s called We Were the Lucky Ones, because it’s just insane that this happened. It’s truly miraculous. And so I think any new experience as a true story that’s told about this time adds something.”
