Dave Franco is ready to hop into bed with Alison Brie.
But it’s not nearly as steamy as it sounds. Indeed, the Hoppers actor revealed his ideal date night with his wife of nine years involves the bare necessities.
“The truth is, my perfect night these days is just like a full pile with my wife and my cats in bed, and we're just watching two movies, going to bed by 9:30 p.m.,” he exclusively told E! News in a joint interview with his Forgotten Island costars H.E.R. and Liza Soberano. “We're going wild.”
And while Franco and Brie—who tied the knot in 2017—may opt for a cozy night in to keep the spark alive, Soberano shared she wants in on that action. As she put it, “We gotta join you.”
But even if his colleagues don’t pull up to third wheel their date night, just the thought of cuddling up is enough to hold H.E.R. (born Gabriella Sarmiento Wilson) over.
“Tell you what memory I'm never gonna forget,” the “Could’ve Been” singer chimed in, “this one right now.”
As Franco emphasized, “That night that Dave made us come and do a dog pile with his wife and his cats.”
Hopefully, the trio and Brie can make that plan happen as they continue on their press tour for their DreamWorks animated film.
In the fantasy adventure movie, Jo (H.E.R.) and Raissa (Soberano), two lifelong friends, get trapped in the mystical world of Nakali. But to escape, it may just cost them their lifetime of shared memories together.
As for what drew Franco—who voices Raww in the film—to the project?
“First and foremost, the directors,” he admitted, heaping praise on Joel Crawford and Januel P. Mercado. “These are the guys who made Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, an objectively incredible animated movie. And when I first talked to them, they were referencing movies that I loved.”
“They were talking about how Forgotten Island has a similar structure to The Hangover and similar friendship themes to Superbad and other themes to Eternal Sunshine,” he recalled, “and so I just immediately knew, like, ‘Oh, I feel like we have similar sensibilities.’”
He also resonated with his character in the film, a weredog who acts as a guide for Jo and Raissa.
“I think there's some crossover with who I am in real life,” he explained. “The people that he loves, he loves deeply; he's a very loyal guy, and you know, deep down, he just wants to be loved. I can relate.”
Until Forgotten Island hits theaters Sept. 25, keep reading for more movies coming out soon…
