Miles Teller addressed his feelings about returning back to rom-coms after almost 10 years.
Teller, who last starred in romantic-comedies That Awkward Moment, Two Night Stand (both in 2014) and The Spectacular Now (2013), shared his delight on the major comeback.
"I was happy that I was given the opportunity again," he told The Hollywood Reporter at the Los Angeles premiere. "I think most actors are pretty multifaceted — they just get put in a lane maybe early on and I just have a wide range of interests, so I feel lucky that I’ve been able to kind of weave in and out. But this movie is just kind of life-affirming and to me those are the best projects."
The story, which follows a woman in afterlife set to make a choice between husband and past lover to spend eternity with, Teller said the story was "really tender-hearted piece, and that’s generally the stuff that I am attracted to."
The star added he’s observed that "people branch off and you can tell that they’re asking these questions that we’re all going to be faced with; it makes people, in a wonderful way, think about loved ones or friends or family members, anyone who has passed away that they hope to be reunited with."
"I think dying is a tough thing to talk about, even though everybody thinks about it, and this way you get to watch a really entertaining version of it for two hours," he added.
In an afterlife where souls have one week to decide where to spend eternity, Joan (Olsen) is faced with the impossible choice between the man she spent her life with Larry (Teller) and her first love Luke (Turner), who died young and has waited decades for her to arrive.
Eternity is slated for release on November 26.
