Jared Padalecki is embracing the holiday spirit while filming “The Bodyguard”, the movie adaptation of Katherine Center’s romance book, on set. The 43-year-old actor shared a behind-the-scenes video on his Instagram Story, showing him on a Christmas float, surrounded by snow, holding a guitar. Padalecki sported a red plaid shirt, jeans, a scarf, and a cowboy hat for the scene at the High River Santa Claus parade in Alberta, Canada.
In other fan footage from the event, Padalecki played the guitar while country artist Walker Hayes sang on the float, with fans cheering them on. Padalecki will star alongside Leighton Meester in the upcoming Netflix holiday romantic comedy, along with Andie MacDowell, Noah LaLonde, and Toby Sandeman.
“The Bodyguard” focuses on action star Jack Stapleton (Padalecki) and his female bodyguard Hannah Brooks (Meester). The two find themselves in a fake-dating scheme to convince Jack’s family that Hannah is his girlfriend, leading to sparks flying between them.
Director Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum hinted at some changes from the novel, including setting the film during Christmastime and allowing fans to suggest a name for the movie. The adaptation is based on Katherine Center’s novel and promises to bring the witty story to life in the holiday season.
Rosenbaum spoke about the enthusiasm for the novel on social media and BookTok culture, which influenced her decision to direct the film. She expressed excitement about working closely with Center to bring the sparks between the characters to life on screen.
Overall, Padalecki’s cheerful holiday spirit on set and the upcoming release of “The Bodyguard” promise a heartwarming and entertaining watch for fans of romance and comedy.
