Debby Ryan & Jean-Luc Bilodeau: Borders Buddies

Debby Ryan and Jean-Luc Bilodeau sign 16 Wishes merchandise as they meet and greet fans at the Borders store in Century City on Saturday afternoon (June 19).

JJJ was lucky enough to chat with the duo before the fan Q&A session and found out just a bit more about Abby’s best friend in the film — Jay, played by Jean-Luc.

Jean-Luc shared with us about his character: “He’s just a really nice, charming, good guy. He’s Abby’s best friend and he’s the one she always goes to. Jay’s the fall back for all her problems and she kind of takes him for granted a bit. But slowly, through the story, you see Jay’s underlying feelings for Abby surface. He’s a good guy.”

Debby chimed in, “Everything that Abby gets caught up in, Jay’s always the voice of reason for her. He’s the practical one in their relationship. A good balance.”

16 Wishes premieres FRIDAY, June 25 @ 8PM ET/PT on Disney Channel. Don’t forget to keep entering our giveaway!
