Mario Lopez stars in new Lifetime movie, ‘Stepping Into The Holiday’
Viewers can see Mario Lopez in the new Lifetime movie, Stepping Into The Holiday, which is currently in post-production and coming out sometime this summer.
“I’m excited about it,” Lopez told Showbiz Cheat Sheet about the new movie. “It’s called Stepping Into The Holiday. We shot it down in Nashville. We are editing it right now — it’s coming together great. [There are] a lot of musical components to it, a lot of dancing, a lot of music. My wife’s in it. It’s probably my favorite one I’ve done so far, so I’m excited for people to check it out. It’s coming out, I believe, the first week of the summer.”
Lopez gave a few teasers about the upcoming movie.
“I play a guy named Billie Holiday,” he added. “That’s a stage name. His real name is Billy Hernandez. And he gets fired. And I don’t know if I’m supposed to tell you much about it, but he sort of has to start over and go back to square one. But in the process, you have to find a little love during the holiday.”
When Cheat Sheet asked if his wife is his love interest in the movie, Lopez couldn’t say.
“You have to watch and see,” he teased.
Mario Lopez’s kids would rather be on TV with him than watch him acting or hosting
