At just 25 years old (as of writing), Joey King has been featured in over 70 films and television shows dating as far back as 2006. Given the sheer volume of work she takes on, it's not shock that many of these have been critical and commercial duds you've either never heard of or wish you'd never heard of, like the "Final Destination" riff-off "Wish Upon," the middling ghost romance "The In Between," and the irredeemably pandering sci-fi thriller "Uglies."

At the same time, King has consistently turned high-quality performances in some memorable projects. Fans of "The Dark Knight Rises," "Crazy Stupid Love," and "The Conjuring" are proof that she's been ready for almost any acting challenge since she first appeared on a screen. From her extensive resume, we picked out our favorite roles and ranked them based on quality and how well they showcase King as an actor.

Well, not quite. She just stopped posting, a move that seems small but sent her 16 million subscribers into a panic.

Netflix’s A Family Affair launched at the end of June featuring a romance between High School Musical heartthrob Zac Efron and Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman. The main obstacle to that romance is Joey King’s Zara Ford, daughter of Nicole Kidman’s Brooke Harwood.

Zara works for Efron’s movie star — very important distinction from a celebrity — Chris Cole, who fits the stereotype of a high maintenance Hollywood boss. She hopes to make her way to a producer one day, but so far she hasn’t been able to climb the ladder. A unique opportunity presents itself when Chris, in an effort to apologize and ask Zara to come back to work for him after she quits one day, gets drunk with Brooke and they start to hook up only to be interrupted by Zara.

A great list of songs accompanies the emotional moments of Chris courting Brooke and...

Zac Efron was drawn to A Family Affair due to its original not-safe-for-work title, Motherf---er. A Family Affair, starring Nicole Kidman and Efron, explores a rare intergenerational romance and has topped Netflix's global charts. Both Kidman and Efron expressed admiration for each other and enjoyed working together again after their 2012 film, The Paperboy.

Zac Efron has revealed what first drew him to A Family Affair: a hilariously not safe for work title. Although the Netflix original ultimately opted not to use the alternate name, it makes for some interesting trivia.

A Family Affair's original title was Motherfer, according to Efron's latest interview with People. Somehow that didnt make it onto the Netflix title, Efron's co-lead, Nicole Kidman, joked. Efron mused that the original title was what made him interested in A Family Affair in the first place the title helped the movie "stay at the top of the pile.

Netflix’s next rom-com has arrived in the form of “A Family Affair,” and it’s directed by a veteran of on-screen love stories in Richard Lagravenese. And, according to the director, making a rom-com in 2024 is indeed different than it was when he made “P.S. I Love You” in 2007.

The movie, now streaming, centers on Zara Ford (Joey King), a 24-year-old assistant to mega-movie star Chris Cole (Zac Efron). When Chris strikes up a romantic relationship with her mom Brooke (Nicole Kidman), Zara promptly freaks out, having had a front row seat to how horrible Chris is to women over the years.

Zara actively works to separate the two, but as the story progresses, she comes around to seeing that the pair just might be good for each other.

Lagravenese has plenty of experience in the romance arena — he wrote 1995’s “The Bridges of Madison County” and 1998’s “The Horse Whisperer,...

Directed by Richard Lagravenese and released on Netflix in June 2024, the film explores how this unexpected relationship impacts the tight-knit trio and causes tensions to rise within their unconventional “family affair.” With humor and heart, it examines what happens when love collides with careers and crosses generational lines.

Zac Efron and Nicole Kidman‘s new movie made quite the first impression.

The actors explained that their new Netflix romantic comedy A Family Affair originally “had a different title,” which immediately caught their attention when they dived into the script.

“It was called Motherf—er,” Efron told People, as Kidman clarified, “Beeped out.”

“Somehow that didn’t make it onto the Netflix title,” she added.

Efron admitted, “That made the script stay at the top of the pile. It’s like, what on Earth could this be about?”

In A Family Affair, now streaming on Netflix, Efron plays Hollywood star Chris Cole, who begins an unexpected romance with widow Brooke Harwood (Kidman), who happens to be the mother of his under-appreciated personal assistant Zara Ford (Joey King).

More than a decade after their first on-screen pairing, Hollywood stars Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron have rekindled their cinematic chemistry in Netflix’s latest romantic comedy, “A Family Affair.” The film marks a significant reunion for the duo, who last shared the screen in Lee Daniels’ 2012 crime drama “The Paperboy.”

In “A Family Affair,” Efron portrays Chris Cole, a self-absorbed Hollywood star who becomes romantically involved with Brooke Harwood (Kidman), the widowed mother of his personal assistant, Zara Ford (Joey King). The unconventional premise promises a blend of romance, humor, and potential awkwardness, as the characters navigate their complex relationships.

Reflecting on their collaboration, both actors expressed a deep mutual respect and comfort level. “I’m still so enamored with Nicole,” Efron admitted to People magazine. “There’s a part of me that pinches myself when I realize who I’m working with.” Kidman reciprocated the sentiment, highlighting the...

More than a decade later, the onscreen chemistry between Zac Efron and Nicole Kidman is still palpable.

As the pair promotes their new Netflix romantic comedy A Family Affair, they recently explained that they “both feel safe” with each other and reminisced about first working together on The Paperboy (2012).

“We had so much fun doing that, but it was crazy,” he told People of the Lee Daniels-helmed crime drama.

“I’m still so enamored with Nicole,” admitted Efron. “There’s a part of me that pinches myself when I realize who I’m working with a lot. I think that was more pronounced during The Paperboy because I was a lot younger. I was very nervous back then.”

Inspired by a true story, Matthew McConaughey starred in The Paperboy as Ward Jansen, a journalist who returns to his Florida hometown in 1969 to write a story about death-row inmate Hillary...

Spoiler alert: The following article contains spoilers from A Family Affair.

Chris (Zac Efron) and Brooke (Nicole Kidman) face numerous obstacles in their relationship throughout A Family Affair, including Brooke's daughter and Chris' assistant Zara's (Joey King) disapproval. A Family Affair ends with Chris and Brooke together (with Zara's approval). The 2024 Netflix rom-com emphasizes the importance of understanding and accepting one another's feelings, as well as the value of second chances in love and life.

Netflix's A Family Affair is a good ol' rom-com (similar in theory to Amazon Prime Video's earlier 2024 film The Idea of You but less dramatic) about a young woman learning that her mother is sleeping with her boss, much to her horror. A Family Affair was directed by Richard Lagravenese, written by Carrie Solomon, and stars Zac Efron as Chris Cole, Nicole Kidman as Brooke Harwood, and Joey King as Zara Ford. Chris is...

A Family Affair’s ending was meant to be a happy one, and why won’t it be? Who in their right mind can handle a climax with such beautiful people leaving us with sad faces? Thankfully, Richard Lagravenese’s Netflix film has a fairytale ending where the boy gets the girl eventually and expresses his feelings without being too cringy. But, you see, the concluding conversation between the two lovebirds, Brooke Harwood (Nicole Kidman) and Chris Cole (Zac Efron), isn’t as simple as it seems. It has a lot of references and a deeper meaning attached to it, which, in a way, define their characters and also hint at their future.

While trying to propose to Brooke in the shopping mall, Chris said he didn’t want to be an “island for one” anymore. It was a reference to Chris’ narcissistic life, in which he never wanted anyone...

"A Family Affair" is a 2024 romantic comedy film on Netflix that features an all-star cast. The movie stars Zac Efron as Chris Cole, a famous movie star who begins dating his assistant's older mother, Brooke, played by Nicole Kidman. Other cast members include Joey King, Liza Koshy, Kathy Bates, and Shirley MacLaine.

The renaissance of the modern rom-com continues with Netflix's A Family Affair, which features an impressive cast of notable actors and actresses such as Zac Efron and Nicole Kidman. The 2024 romantic comedy film, directed by Richard Lagravenese and written by Carrie Solomon, chronicles the story of a young woman (Joey King) whose mother (Kidman) enters a relationship with her boss (Efron), much to her dismay. Unfortunately, as teased in the trailer for A Family Affair, King's character learns of the scandalous (which is only so due to the couple's age gap) affair when she walks in on them about to have sex.

If your 20s are for finding yourself, then A Family Affair’s Zara Ford (Joey King) is in need of a map. A 24-year-old personal assistant, her professional life is stagnating: Years of navigating the whims of her nightmare boss, celebrity — sorry, movie star — Chris Cole (Zac Efron), haven’t led to the associate producer job he once promised her. And while living at home with her brilliant author mother, Brooke (Nicole Kidman), is good for Zara’s wallet, it’s not really helping her grow into an independent adult. Throw in the fact that she’s just walked in on said boss and said mom in bed — together — and it’s no surprise that Zara’s a little adrift.

“I’m fighting for my life,” King jokes to Tudum about her character’s emotional journey in the film, which hits Netflix on June 28.

She’s not the only one.

Zac Efron and Nicole Kidman are sharing the screen in the upcoming romantic comedy, A Family Affair, which might give Keith Urban, Kidman’s husband, a bit of a jolt. The film revolves around Zara Ford, who discovers that her single mother is having an affair with her movie star boss.

Your mom hooking up with your movie star boss is a recipe for… romance? That’s exactly what happens to Zara Ford (Joey King) in the upcoming Netflix rom-com A Family Affair, directed by Richard Lagravenese and written by Carrie Solomon. Zara catches her mom, Brooke (Nicole Kidman), hooking up with the handsome and much younger Chris Cole (Zac Efron). Zara immediately knocks herself unconscious as she reels from witnessing her boss and mom in the midst of a sexy rendezvous. “Name the movie I won a Teen Choice Award for,” Chris asks Zara, who holds up her middle finger in reply. Zara is not on board with her mom dating Chris whatsoever. “He’s going to hurt her, and I will have to kill him,” she says. Despite Zara’s vocal disapproval, Brooke and Chris just can’t stay away from each other. “I’ve been waiting for you forever,...
