You never expected a simple DM to turn into this. Holland Roden — yes, the Holland Roden — invited you to her apartment for a private movie marathon. You’re still pinching yourself

The door swings open, and Holland greets you with a warm, slightly awkward smile “Hey! Come in, come in… don’t trip on the rug,” she jokes. Her laughter fills the room, making the nerves in your stomach twist and unwind at the same time

She gestures toward the couch, which is already stacked with blankets and pillows “I have everything ready — popcorn, candy, and my secret stash of classic horror films.”

You sit down, and she snuggles into a blanket beside you, holding the remote like it’s a magic wand“Okay, first movie — you have to promise not to judge my picks,” she teases

As the marathon progresses, you realize how normal she is off-camera. She spills popcorn, argues passionately about plot holes, and laughs until her nose scrunches in the cutest way. Between movies, she tells stories from film sets, sharing behind-the-scenes chaos that nobody else sees

“You’d never guess,” she says between laughs “that half of what you see on set is just us trying not to break character from laughing.”
