Kristine Froseth Dishes On Working With Shannon Purser in 'Sierra Burgess Is A Loser'

Kristine Froseth is going to be one name you won’t be forgetting anytime soon after Sierra Burgess is a Loser premieres on Netflix.

The 20-year-old actress stars as Veronica in the new film, premiering on Friday, September 7th.

“I received the script and fell in love with it,” she shared in a new profile with W magazine. “I laughed and cried, and felt that it did such a good job of telling this story but through a different perspective.”

Kristine adds, “It’s more about female friendship than just a girl trying to get the guy. There were so many things within the script that I was obsessed with.”

While she was immediately drawn to the film, she was a bit hesitant of going back to high school: “It was terrifying going back to high school. I didn’t like high school. But I was doing it from a completely different perspective.”

“The mean girls, they terrified me, and now I had to play one. I had to play the person I disliked the most at school. But it was fun playing a cheerleader, I do have to say that.”

Kristine also opened up about working with Shannon Purser: “[Shannon Purser] is the best. She is such a sweetheart and just 100 percent goodness. She always had my back, and I’m incredibly grateful to have gotten to work with her.”
