Spring into love! Tyler Hynes could be a romantic star in an upcoming Hallmark movie Picture Her – but chemistry credits with Rhiannon’s fish to bring stories to life.
“Something is very present [Rhiannon]. There was never a moment when I looked at him and did something in the scene that wasn’t there,” Hynes, 36, said. Us Weekly about filming with him Picture Her costar, 32. “I can do anything and he will be with me. It will not be thrown away will not be discombobulated, he will just be present with me. After I felt a little with the other actors, I said, ‘Okay, now we can enjoy- happy because we can start playing here and try to find the magic and the time in between, which I think is where all the juicy stuff is.’”
The film – which premieres on March 25, on Hallmark and serves as part of the network’s Spring Into Love rollout – follows Hynes as a celebrity photographer named Jake. Uninterested in the lack of creativity in his current job, he unknowingly takes a photo of a stranger named Beth (Fish). After the two meet and form a quick connection, the picture finds its way to the cover of the magazine and Beth makes it her mission to find the man behind the lens. Jake, meanwhile, must decide whether he should come clean to the girl he fell for.

And I can’t say enough about him. He’s as talented and wonderful a person as you can imagine.

Both the festive films will be released in December 2022.

Hynes was also drawn to the modern framing of the story, which saw Beth become an overnight sensation based on a single photograph.
“[I loved] that idea [the] art and simplicity of original beauty and finer details [are things] the world still cares. If the world is still moving, “he points out, noting that playing a character who rediscovers his art is a” wonderful thing “and feels” true to life.
While Hynes’ time as Jake may have “romantic itched” for the actor, that doesn’t mean he isn’t ready to reunite with her. The Three Wisemen and the Baby costars – and best friends – Paul Campbell and Andrew Walker.
The holiday comedy was written by Campbell, 43, and the Hallmark star Kimberly Sustad. After its premiere, the seasonal comedy became the network’s most-watched movie of 2022 — including both Christmas and non-Christmas movies — and broke records through 2019.
