"The Summer I Turned Pretty" Star Lola Tung Is Ready For You to Meet Belly "He's really rude and he's not telling people how he feels, and that's why he's in all this trouble," Briney explains. But as the actor explored the character, his own feelings toward Conrad changed, and he realized he was more than the classic brooding-bad-boy archetype. "He's just young and . . . just trying to keep it together for the people he loves," he says. "Yes, he owes an apology to some people in the world, but he's 17. He can make mistakes. He's going to continue to make mistakes, and he's just hurt." Briney was actually in Liverpool shooting the first project he'd ever booked, the upcoming "Dalíland," during the audition process for "The Summer I Turned Pretty." He did all his chemistry reads with Tung over Zoom. The day of the table read for the movie was the day he found out he was cast as Conrad. "That was one of the better days I've been lucky enough to have," he says. "The Summer I Turned Pretty" Star Gavin Casalegno on One of the Most Fun Summers of His Life Just a few years ago, Briney was a college student in New York City, studying hard and working service jobs to pay the bills. He worked at Trader Joe's on the Lower East Side. "I'm trying to go out to dinner once in a while, while going through school," he jokes about his time in the service industry. "It's not easy." "I'm Team Conrad. I have to be. It's in my contract." Before the show went into production, most of the main ca...

The actor plays Conrad Fisher in the book-to-show adaptation by Jenny Han, who is the broody, older brother to Jeremiah, played by Gavin Casalegno. The series tells the story of the love triangle between the two brothers and their childhood best friend Belly, played by Lola Tung. After the show premiered on June 17, 2022, fans immediately took to Christopher’s character — who doesn’t love the mysterious bad boy with a heart of gold?! It turns out, Chris doesn’t! He hilariously revealed that he wasn’t exactly Team Conrad after reading the books. “When I first read the book and when the script started coming in, I was like, ‘This dude kind of sucks,’” Chris told POPSUGAR in June 2022. “He’s really rude and he’s not telling people how he feels, and that’s why he’s in all this trouble,” he explained. But as Chris explored the character, his own feelings toward Conrad changed, and he realized he was more than a brooding bad boy. “He’s just young and . . . just trying to keep it together for the people he loves,” he says. “Yes, he owes an apology to some people in the world, but he’s 17.

Lucky in love! Christopher Briney may play one-third of an iconic teen love triangle on Amazon Prime’s The Summer I Turned Pretty series — but in real life, he’s happily taken. The Summer I Turned Pretty, which debuted in June 2022, features Briney’s character Conrad Fisher — a brooding and emotionally unavailable bad boy — as Lola Tung). The teen rom-com is based on a book trilogy Jenny Han and follows Belly through her adventures in Cousins Beach as she figures out if her heart truly lies with Conrad or his brother, Jeremiah ( Gavin Casalegno). Conrad is the unmistakable heartthrob of the series, the boy Belly has endlessly swooned for since she was a young girl. Despite her endless flip-flopping, it feels inevitable that Belly’s “When I first read the book and when the script started coming in, I was like, ‘This dude kind of sucks,'” he revealed during a June interview with POPSUGAR. “He’s really rude and he’s not telling people how he feels, and that’s why he’s in all this trouble.” As time went on, however, the Connecticut native realized that Conrad, who is holding onto secrets about both his dad’s infidelity and mom’s recent cancer diagnosis, is just a teenage boy trying to deal with his own emotions. In order to view the video, please allow “He’s just young and … just trying to keep it together for the people he loves,” the actor explained. “Yes, he owes an apology to some people in the world, but he’s 17.

But Briney tells me that, while reading the books, he “kind of hated” Conrad at first. “He's so rude and dismissive and closed off to the world,” he says of the character. Sure enough, when we first meet Conrad in the TV series, he’s all scowls and rolling eyes, but it’s not long before we get a glimpse of those complicated layers underneath. “I had a lot of time to spend with him, and a lot of time to forgive him,” Briney says, noting that the 17-year-old character grows so much over the course of the story. And as the actor dug into the script, he was able to see more of himself in Conrad. “He and I both—at least when I was younger—had a lot of trouble expressing and understanding how we feel. I think it's common as a teenager to be going through a lot of things and to be confused, not knowing how to share that with people, or if you even can.” Stepping into Conrad’s shoes was both fun and a challenge for Briney, who offers his hope that fans will ultimately be able to see themselves reflected in the characters. He points to one moment toward the end of the first season in which Conrad suffers a feeling those things. But it was hard. It's hard to have a bunch of people watching you.” Dana Hawley/Amazon Prime Video Of course, there was a lot of joy to be experienced in filming a story that takes place in a picturesque seaside town like Cousins Beach. “It was all fun,” Briney says. “Just getting to be with the people. Getting to play volleyball. They gave us lessons and th...
