“It was kind of like a big start for you.”

Without even the slightest delay, Mulroney admitted that it was My Best Friend’s Wedding from where his career actually took off. It seems like the actor will forever be grateful to the movie for giving him a chance to flourish.

The Scream VI star also reflected on how taken he was with Roberts when he went to audition for the movie. He said that he had no idea if he would get the role or not, but he was enamored with the actress from the moment they made eye contact.
