Full Story
Griffin Gluck, the actor known for his role in the hit mystery drama “Cruel Summer,” has opened up about his experience filming the show’s second season. Gluck and his co-stars, Sadie Stanley and Lisa Yamada, all moved in together during the six months of filming in Vancouver, Canada. Gluck likens the experience to “summer camp,” saying, “those people become like the closest thing you have to a family.” The trio fell into a routine of waking up together, going to work, and then coming home to have dinner. Gluck says this routine made it easier for the cast to bond and fall into character as a group of close-knit high schoolers.
Gluck also discussed his role as Luke, a popular teen who has lost his mother but lives a life of privilege thanks to his successful father, played by Paul Adelstein. Gluck previously played Adelstein’s child in “Private Practice” beginning in 2011. Gluck says the chemistry between himself and Adelstein was seamless, saying, “It was just like putting on an old glove. It just fit, it worked, it felt right.” Gluck also has connections to his new show through his close friendship with Chiara Aurelia, who led “Cruel Summer”‘s first season.
In a POPSUGAR Crush Q&A, Gluck also answered questions about his favorite form of self-care, his perfect first date (hint: it involves Cirque du Soleil), and his ideal gift (something thoughtful that shows the giver really knows him). Gluck admits he is not likely to make the first move with someone he likes, saying he is a “slow burn” kind of person and prefers to get to know someone before pursuing a romantic relationship.
Overall, Gluck’s insights into his experience filming “Cruel Summer” and his personal preferences reveal a thoughtful and down-to-earth individual with a deep appreciation for his craft and his relationships.
