Douglas Smith opens up about his on-screen relationship with Shailene Woodley

The season 2 of HBO’s popular show ‘Big Little Lies’ is back and has introduced some new faces. Among them is actor Douglas Smith, who plays Jane’s (Shailene Woodley) co-worker Corey Brockfield. While the fans are eagerly waiting to see what will happen with the two characters after their first date and slow dance together in the previous episodes, Smith shed some light on what’s in store for the viewers speaking about his onscreen relationship with Woodley, reported Entertainment Weekly.

He also opened up about what fosters their connection and if the pairing could lead to a “happy ending.” When asked about his eagerness to meet Jane’s child Ziggy and if he is incredibly serious for her, the actor said, “Yes, that’s a very good assumption. I liked when I read that.

That this was the way they were imagining this guy. You always cringe when a different response happens in a movie. You know the stereotypical, “Oh ok, catch you later.” That’s not what you want to read.” Speaking about his character, he said, “Yes, he’s very empathetic...He’s somebody that has gone through therapy and had lots of diagnoses thrown his way, and I think he is more sensitive than the average guy you see running up to you on the beach with a surfboard in their hands.”
