Lennon Stella Learned How to Cry On-Screen From Co-Star Hayden Panettiere

Hayden Panettiere‘s character Juliette serves as a role model figure for Lennon Stella‘s Maddie in the musical drama Nashville, and, as it turns out, she is a role model for both Lennon and her little sister Maisy Stella in real life as well.

The on and off-screen sisters opened up about learning about acting from Hayden in a new video interview, revealing that she taught them how to cry on-cue (a skill both need to use often during filming.)

“Hayden is like the best person for advice,” Lennon tells Entertainment Weekly, “because she’s been doing it for so long and she really really cares.”

She also shared that in terms of crying, Hayden taught her not to hold her breath, but to start talking instead in order to channel the proper emotions.

“She knew exactly how to get it out of me.”

We knew the Nashville cast were close (they even celebrated the sisters’ dual graduations!) but we had no idea how much they helped one another on-set.
