Julie Gonzalo talks about LA wildfires and shooting My Argentine Heart

During a Facebook Live for My Argentine Heart, Julie Gonzalo opened up about her experience of shooting for the Hallmark film. Calling it one of the best experiences she has ever had, the actress stated that she always dreamt of shooting in Argentina.

She said,

“I did always have the dream that it would happen, but I didn’t think it would happen this quickly.”

During the live, Gonzalo also mentioned the Los Angeles wildfires that have impacted the region. The Veronica Mars actress has been living in LA for the past twenty years.

She said:

"I would briefly like to address the Los Angeles fires that are happening right now. It’s really hard to talk about something so fun and so amazing and a really lovely experience that I had a couple of months ago, shooting this movie, while all of this is happening."

The actress went on to talk about the lives that are impacted by the fire and how horrifying she finds the entire situation to be.

“It feels just horrific to watch, and I can’t imagine being affected right now, as so many are.”

Gonzalo concluded her point by extending her thoughts to the lives directly affected by the fire. She said,

“Before I do speak about something so beautiful, I do want to say that my heart is with you, and my thoughts are with you if you have been affected.”
