Meet Clara Grant, played by Mckenna Grace in the movie adaptation of hit novel ‘Regretting You,’ in PH cinemas October 22
In Regretting You, movie adaptation of the best-selling novel of the same name, Williams and Grace play the mother-daughter duo of Morgan and Clara Grant, respectively, as they explore what’s left behind after a devastating accident reveals a shocking betrayal and forces them to confront family secrets, redefine love, and rediscover each other.
Regretting You is a story of growth, resilience, and self-discovery in the aftermath of tragedy, also starring Dave Franco, Mason Thames and Sam Morelos, with Scott Eastwood, Willa Fitzgerald and Clancy Brown. Directed by Josh Boone.
Shortly after the trailer was released in August, fans quickly fell in love with Grace, with one fan commenting, “OMG, Mckenna is perfect as Clara.”
Find out more about Clara Grant and the young actress that breathes life into the beloved character in the upcoming movie adaptation.
1. Nineteen-year-old Mckenna Grace started acting at age 5 and has starred in everything from Captain Marvel to The Handmaid’s Tale, for which she was nominated for an Emmy award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series. In Regretting You, the adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s beloved novel of the same name, Grace plays Clara Grant, a young woman torn apart by grief after a family tragedy, who falls in love with a boy that her mother, played by Allison Williams, most definitely does not approve of. “Clara has been such a special role for me,” says Grace. “She’s so complicated, mature and immature all at once.”
2. Clara’s boyfriend, Miller, is played by Mason Thames, who just so happens to be Mckenna Grace’s best friend in real life. “We already knew each other so well because we’ve been goofing off for the past year, doing all these stupid things,” Grace says of Thames. “And then, all of a sudden, we were working together, running around, having a blast!”

3. The set in this pic is of Miller’s bedroom, on which the production began its very first week of Regretting You. “I especially loved that first week,” remembers Grace. “Those scenes were all shot at Miller’s house, which had all these goats and horses.” And they weren’t the only animals on set, either. As always, Grace travelled on location with her beloved pet Yorkshire Terrier, Gizmo.
4. Clara and Miller love each other deeply. Although, during one big argument, Miller accuses Clara of using him to “piss off” her mom – something Grace concedes may well be true. “Clara does some things that she knows will piss off her mama,” Grace laughs. “The interesting thing is that sometimes I don’t think she knows there’s a part of her that’s doing it to piss her off. Sometimes she definitely does, though, and does it anyways!”
5. Clara and Miller share another love, too: the movies. And their passion extends to both sides of the camera. Clara’s big ambition is to go to her dream college, to study to become an actor. His is to direct. “Miller is a filmmaker, so he’s very creative,” notes Thames.
6. As well as the classics, Miller is a huge fan of romantic movies, which is perhaps why Thames calls him “a lover boy.” Amongst what Thames says are Miller’s “guilty pleasures” is Elizabethtown (hence the poster in his room) by Cameron Crowe, one of Regretting You director Josh Boone’s favorite filmmakers.
