Miles Heizer Reveals BFF Mae Whitman's Reaction to '13 Reasons Why'

Miles Heizer‘s longtime pal Mae Whitman had a very emotional reaction to his show 13 Reasons Why.

The 22-year-old actor, who plays Alex on the Netflix series, recently talked about her response and their conversations about the show.

“I still live with [my Parenthood co-star] Mae [Whitman] in her guest house and she texted me while she was watching the show,” Miles told THR. “We’ve had many conversations about it. Her reaction was very positive. It’s weird when your friend is in something and they’re gone filming and then you see it.”

“I remember she was doing The Duff and then I saw it and I was weeping,” Miles said. “She had a similar reaction. We have a very open relationship and were able to talk about these issues that are scary to talk about.”

In case you missed it, Miles also talked about the backlash the show received.

The DUFF's Mae Whitman Opens Up About The Child To Adult Actor Transition

The DUFF's Mae Whitman Opens Up About The Child To Adult Actor Transition

When you think of successful child turned adult actors, you most definitely think of Mae Whitman.

You might remember her from Independence Day, or Hope Floats, or even as the voice of Tinker Bell — our favorite — then, and now, you know her from The DUFF, or Parenthood, or as that one girl in the Gilmore Girls revival who scores a free donut from Lorelai.

“Growing up as a kid actor, I feel like it could really go either way. I can see how it could be such a horrible struggle. It’s tricky,” Mae dished in her interview at Build Series about the transition.

“I feel like, in anything, if you don’t feel like people have your back, it can lead you down a bad place, whether you’re a kid or an adult.”

She adds, “I luckily had a super strong family base. My parents have always been so amazing and [are] my heroes. They really were so careful all along the way to choose projects that were with good people and honest people, and also they really gave me the gift of choosing if I wanted to do something or not. They were always like, ‘What’s inside your heart is the most important.’”

Now, Mae has a new animated movie, Rock Dog (which opens on Friday), AND just got cast in NBC’s Good Girls.

Vanessa Marano Celebrates 'Gilmore Girls' Premiere With Sister Laura!

Vanessa Marano Celebrates 'Gilmore Girls' Premiere With Sister Laura!

Excuse us while we just stare at how good the Marano sisters look at the Gilmore Girls premiere!

Vanessa, who plays April Nardini in the revival series, brought along her younger singer sister, Laura for the event in Los Angeles.

Even our fave Mae Whitman, who has a small part in the revival, hit the red carpet for the event.

“I hope this is her second chance,” Vanessa told JJJ about April during our exclusive interview. “Where and when we last left Luke and Lorelai, they were sort of together, so a lot of people’s beef, and my beef with April, was the fact that she broke those two up.”

She adds, “Hopefully, this time around, people can just like the character for who she is, as opposed to the 13-year-old who was just a child when she broke up America’s Sweethearts.”

Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life premieres NEXT Friday, November 25th on Netflix.
