Julie Gonzalo is ready for a teen movie on the Hallmark Channel — and so are we. Viewers who've followed Gonzalo's career since the noughties will recall her sharing the screen with Chad Michael Murray in "A Cinderella Story" and "Freaky Friday." But, Gonzalo didn't play the leading love interest in those movies, as those roles were filled by Hilary Duff and Lindsay Lohan.
Gonzalo and Murray now haven't worked together (or seen each other) for years, despite both actors ending up working for Hallmark, so they're overdue for a reunion. "I mean, I would never say no to getting reacquainted with an old co-star," Gonzalo teased to International Business Times. "That's fun times. Like, 'How are you doing?' ... People would love it." This time around, though, she wants to be the one to get a happy ending with a character played by Murray. And, if her years on the Hallmark Channel starring in films like "The Sweetest Heart" prove anything, it's that she got the chops to carry it off.
In the years since he's worked with Gonzalo, Murray has been busy bringing romance to the holiday season, starring in Hallmark features like "Love in Winterland" and "Write Before Christmas." "It's incredible for the world. We all love the holiday season. We all love these films. I'm going to do them for as long as I can," the former "One Tree Hill" star admitted (via Heavy). Julie Gonzalo and Chad Michael Murray in a Christmas rom-com, anyone?
