Lacey Chabert and Scott Michael Foster Share Why Filming in Front of the Eiffel Tower Made Them ‘Really Nervous’ (Exclusive)

Hallmark+ is taking viewers to the City of Light with its new feature, 'Paris Is Always a Good Idea.' While the setting looks effortless on screen, lead actors Lacey Chabert and Scott Michael Foster say the production was anything but relaxing.

The duo recently opened up about a specific romantic scene filmed at the base of the Eiffel Tower. Despite the professional lighting and crew, the actors had to contend with the reality of shooting in one of the most visited locations on Earth.

Performing Under Pressure

Chabert and Foster admitted that the presence of hundreds of tourists made them both 'really nervous.' Unlike a closed studio set, the landmark was bustling with spectators watching their every move while the cameras rolled.

The actors had to maintain their focus on the emotional beats of the script while curious onlookers snapped photos and gathered around the production perimeter. It added an extra layer of performance anxiety to an already pivotal moment in the movie.

Capturing the Parisian Magic

To pull off the shot, the crew had to work quickly and efficiently within the public space. The goal was to capture the authentic atmosphere of Paris without letting the chaos of the crowd break the romantic tension between the characters.

Despite the nerves, both stars agree that the experience was worth it. The genuine backdrop of the Eiffel Tower provides a level of scale and beauty that is impossible to replicate on a soundstage, even if it meant dealing with a little stage fright.

Fans can now see the results of their hard work as the film debuts on the Hallmark+ streaming platform. It serves as a cornerstone of the network's expansion into more international, high-budget holiday and romance content.
