'Space Cadet' Star Emma Roberts Talks Real-Life Love of Space

Emma Roberts isn’t just starring in a movie about space – she’s also a real-life space nerd!

The 33-year-old actress hit the red carpet at the premiere of Space Cadet on Thursday (June 27) at Metrograph in New York City.

Emma was joined at the event by co-stars Tom Hopper, Poppy Liu, Kuhoo Verma, Desi Lydic, Dave Foley, Yasha Jackson, Andrew Call, Josephine Huang, and Troy Iwata, as well as writer and director Liz W. Garcia.

In a new interview, Emma talked about her love of space.

“Yes, I’m a space nerd. I love space. That was the first thing I said to Liz Garcia, our writer director. When I met her, I was like, I love space. And then I was like, I sound so dumb. Why did I say that? I love this movie. It’s feel good and to see it come together. I read it on paper. I loved it and to see all the characters brought to life,” she told ScreenRant.

Space Cadet will be released on Prime Video on July 4.
