‘The Summer I Turned Pretty's Christopher Briney on the Peach Scene
Of course, now that Christopher Briney has revealed what was going through Conrad's mind during the peach scene, it's even more delicious.
'I think it's sort of like an Icarus moment where he loses touch with reality for a second,' Chris told Deadline when asked about the scene. 'What's going through his mind?'
According to Chris, it totally made sense for Conrad to use his white T-shirt to wipe peach juice off of Belly's chin (all while staring into her soul...) 'As much as I don't think it's a sin to wipe off somebody's face, what else was he gonna use?' he asked. ''Oh, let me go to the car and get a napkin.' There aren't napkins in that car.'
So! Conrad wasn't trying to seduce his ex and brother's finacée, or use the peaches as a metaphor for their relationship. He was just being practical!
Chris continued, calling the moment a slip-up for Conrad. 'I think that he loses touch with what is correct, and I think puts himself in sort of a dangerous place,' he said. (That said: It might be dangerous for Conrad, but it's heaven for #TeamConrad fans.)
And as dreamy and romantic as the peach scene looked on screen, it was much less glamorous on set. 'What was going through my mind was all the gnats that were flying into my mouth because it was awful,' Chris told Deadline. '[Jenny Han] said, as I breathed in, a gnat went into my mouth, and then I breathed out, and it came out. I don't know what it was doing in there, but that's my memory.'
Maybe Conrad should have used that shirt to get the gnats out of his mouth instead. Just saying!

Michael Bay & Will Smith Part Company On Netflix Action Film ‘Fast And Loose'
EXCLUSIVE: Netflix is back out looking for a director for Fast and Loose, after Michael Bay and Will Smith were unable to bridge creative differences and Bay shook loose of the film Wednesday. Fast and Loose will star Smith as a man who wakes up in Tijuana with no memories. As he pieces together his past, he learns he's been living two lives: one as a crime kingpin and the other as an undercover CIA agent. The script by Jon Hoeber, Erich Hoeber, Chris Bremner and Eric Pearson. The film has action as well as comic moments, but Deadline hears Bay wanted more emphasis on the former while Smith wanted to lean into the latter. More from Deadline 'The Batman Part II' To Start Filming In Spring; WBD CEO David Zaslav Confirms James Gunn Writing Next Movie In 'Super Family' Aubrey Plaza To Star In & Produce Biopic Of 'Hollywood Madam' Heidi Fleiss Jack Champion Joins Netflix Comedy 'Don't Say Good Luck' They are looking to shoot in October, and Netflix will lock in a new filmmaker to keep things on track. Bay has plenty else to do. He is discussing with Paramount a return to the Transformers fold with a new version of that tentpole, and he's also percolating at Universal OutRun, an adaptation of the video game that is a star vehicle for Sydney Sweeney. Jayson Rothwell is scripting with Bay and Brad Fuller producing with Sweeney. A reunion between Bay and Smith was significant because their stars launched together with 1995's Bad Boys. That film was Bay's film directing debut, and it was the vehicle that provided first glimpse of how well Smith would fare as a charismatic action star. Fast and Loose is being produced by Smith's Westbrook Studios and Kelly McCormick and David Leitch for 87North.

'The Summer I Turned Pretty' S3 Outfits: Recreate Belly's Best Looks
We're five episodes into the final season of The Summer I Turned Pretty, soaking in the magic and allure of Cousins Beach one last time. Whether you're #TeamJeremiah or #TeamConrad, we can all agree that when it comes to Belly's effortless and casual style, it's impossible not to be obsessed. With the show delivering memorable fashion moments (like Season 1's debutante ball looks or Belly's retro rollerskating 'fit from Season 2), we're at the edge of our seats every Wednesday to see both the drama and the outfit inspo Season 3 has in store. Luckily, Belly's style is easy to shop for and recreate IRL. (There are exact matches on the show's Amazon storefront, and brands like American Eagle and Solid & Striped are dropping merch). To celebrate the return of the summer's most dramatic love triangle, we curated some of our favorite looks from Season 3 so far, like coastal-inspired outfits fit for a New England summer to pieces that are perfect for campus strolls, just in time for back to school season. The first few episodes of the season were light on the expected coastal fashion, but Belly made up for it with a blue and white dress fit for a New England summer. Granted, she wore it to a frat party, but we'll take it. Belly sports a ton of Reformation dresses throughout the show, and the closest match I've found is this nearly-sold out option, but trust: There are still plenty of grandmillennial-inspired dresses out there you can snag and wear while summer lasts. Don't forget a pair of strappy espadrilles to pair it with! For a quintessential collegiate look, you can't go wrong with Belly's effortlessly styled oversized Beta Sigma Nu Crest hoodie, which she probably swiped from Jeremiah—but you can find on Amazon. The piece that absolutely caught our eye, though? Her amazing cherry red cat eye sunnies. Finish off the look with your fave biker shorts and your go-to sneaks. While The Summer I Turned Pretty has always been packed with summer fashion inspo, this season's flashbacks and campus setting give us a glimpse into Belly's school year style. Case in point: This classic look, complete with a simple black mini, oversized denim, loafers, and the pièce de résistance, a darling pair of ruffled socks. Honestly, you probably have most of the pieces to re-create this look hiding in your closet, but if not, we've found 'em for you below. Leave it to Belly to make heartbreak look so good. After receiving devastating news, she styles sweatpants made for bed-rotting with a sleek and satin-y varsity jacket—and somehow, it kind If you're not into wearing your sweats out in the wild, a bomber looks just as good when paired with denim or a mini. And if you're curious about Belly's classic leather backpack, it's part of Coach's collab with The Summer I Turned Pretty. As both a #TeamConrad girlie and a seasonal pajama connoisseur, I obviously needed all of the details about the red set Belly was wearing when she and Conrad unexpectedly spent a cozy Christmas together in Cousins. Sadly, my fashion detective findings revealed that Belly's Dôen set is no longer available—but don't fret! I scoped out a ton of options that embody Belly's cottagecore vibe, including a tank-and-shorts set in case you can't wait until summer ends to steal her look. Although Belly is known for her flirty and fun style, this ensemble delivers a more mature, grown-up look for her. She's channeling her inner Susannah with Staud's Nola Wool Sweater, but unfortunately it's sold out. We found a very similar collared sleeveless option at Reformation, or just go with a baby blue cardigan. Her white jeans are Rolla's Sailor Jean featuring a slim, high rise fit and a flared wide leg. In the third episode, Belly wears this particular shade of blue more than once (see above)—perhaps she's dropping hints with something blue (ahem!). She looked ethereal in this flowy mini dress for Susannah's garden dedication. She wore Zimmerman's Natura Ruched Mini Dress in Iris that's no longer on sale, but we found a few dresses inspired by the silhouette. She paired it with a pair of strappy yet simple nude heels and a Coach Tabby Chain Clutch that's part of their The Summer I Turned Pretty collab. Many of the pieces Belly wears throughout the third season are from Brooklyn-based jewelry brand Catbird, including a certain important ring. The internet and #TeamConrad may have jokes about the ring's modest size, but it complements Belly's dainty taste in jewelry. These delicate fine jewelry pieces—made from ethically sourced solid 14k gold (not gold-plated) and real recycled diamonds—are perfect for daily wear. You can mix and match bracelets, and layer necklaces just like Belly does. Belly's layered cami and short sleeve tee look is taking us back to the early aughts. It's cute, simple, and perfect for running errands, hanging out with friends, or wedding dress shopping—after all, it does have the elements of a go-see outfit (will never forget one of the most important tips from America's Next Top Model). Belly is sporting a pair of Levi's Wedgie Bootcut Jeans with Reformation's Poppie Knit Top, which is sold out. However, it's pretty easy to style a similar look with a simple black cami and a fitted short sleeve shirt—two things you probably already have in your closet. She's also sporting a vintage Coach 9135 Crossbody Bag in light beige, which is also not as readily available. But, we were able to find a few similar alternatives from Coach. Although Belly, Taylor, and Lucinda went to a budget-friendly thrift store to find the dream bridal gown, in reality, the dress they fell in love with is the Victoria Beckham Cami Floor-Length Dress In Ivory and it's $1,250. The hefty price tag might deter you, but we searched high and low for minimalist yet elegant silk slip dress alternatives that exude the alluring and ethereal bridal look. Somehow, Belly makes even the most mundane outfit like a zip-up sweatshirt and boxer shorts look so chic. She's wearing the TNA Waffle Zip Hoodie from Aritzia paired with the Mercantile Cotton Pajama Short and right now, both items are sold out. But, don't fret, we found plenty of alternatives for you to snag the look. Belly's striking rainbow plaid bikini caught our eye the moment it was on our screen. Unlike the flirty and feminine pieces that Belly usually sports, this bikini is a bolder option that we wouldn't traditionally see her in. But hey, we're here for the experimentation. She's wearing Staud's Alexis Triangle Top and Bikini Bottom. Each piece is around $100 individually (aaand sold out), so we found similar options that are a lot more affordable. We've been seeing cherry print dresses everywhere this summer, and so it's no surprise Belly is sporting one in the series. The exact one that she wears is the Taiga Dress from Reformation, and while the cherry print is no longer available, the dress style is still in stock in leopard print and polka dot patterns. If you're vying for the fun cherry print, we found a few options from Amazon, Abercrombie, and another style from Reformation. This red number from Solid & Striped is quintessentially Belly, from its youthful yet flirty silhouette to its fun all-over floral print. While this particular colorway is sold out, you can snag the blue version in select sizes and other prints and patterns of the same silhouette on Amazon. Plus, the brand collaborated with the show for an exclusive capsule collection, so you can shop more inspired pieces here. Otherwise, we found a few affordable alternatives with similar prints. From running wedding-related errands to scarfing fresh peaches, Belly wears this adorable white lace top for most of episode five. It's the DÔEN Skylark Embroidered Organic Cotton Top, and while it's sold out (shocker), DÔEN's Adeline Top is a similar alternative, but it costs a pretty penny at $268. We found other options that are a bit more affordable from Gap, and Amazon. Belly paired the lacy number with a pair of classic Levi's 501 shorts and we even found her blue daisy phone case.
