Welcome

Welcome to Joey King Fan, your number one source for all things Joey King. She is best known for her roles in several films such as The Princess, A Family Affair, the The Kissing Booth film series, and in television shows such as The Act and We Were the Lucky Ones. Thanks for stopping by, and please visit us again soon!

When I reach Joey King on the phone from her home in Los Angeles one afternoon in May, she’s busy at work, building a diorama of a miniature library complete with hundreds of carefully crafted tiny antique books.

The meticulous, charming scene is her contribution to an art club started by her The Act co-star and close friend, actress Patricia Arquette, as a means to creatively pass the time during lockdown. “I’m so excited about it!” she tells me.

Lockdown is the first time that King has slowed down since she began acting as a child, first gaining recognition for her appearance in Ramona and Beezus alongside Selena Gomez in 2010. She can’t help but keep herself busy, though, whether it’s with cooking, crafting, playing virtual party games with friends, or caring for a litter of adorable pups: a chihuahua, the yorkie (pictured in the shoot accompanying this story), and her sister’s golden retriever. “There are a lot of personalities in this house,” she says. King has also been quite active in the Black Lives Matter movement, sharing information with her 11.5 million Instagram followers, as well as marching in an L.A. demonstration. “To see that many people in one place fighting for what we believe in with such conviction while also finding the spirit in them to dance and have fun. Truly just wow,” she said on her page.

Positivity seems innate for the young actress, whose openness permeates our conversation with her honest reflections of life under lockdown. “I’ve been emotionally going through ups and downs, but I am a very fortunate person and I try to count that every day,” she tells me. Her highlight of the experience has been spending so much time with her mother, Jamie, and sister, actress Hunter King, with whom she’s been bunking for the past few months.

The day before our chat, King posed for photographer Leeor Wild from her home over Zoom. “We were both giggling through the whole thing because we’d never done anything like it before,” she says. For the pared-back cover shoot, King did her own hair and makeup, while stylist Jared Eng chimed in on outfit pairings via Facetime. “These are brands I’ve always admired and loved so much, so getting to wear their pieces in such a weird circumstance makes it all the more special,” she tells me of the designer deliveries that arrived at her home from Chanel, Dior, and Louis Vuitton.

And while this was her first digital photo session, it certainly wasn’t King’s first time donning high fashion. A rising red carpet star in her own right, King has landed on many best-dressed lists in the past year for her eclectic choices, and most recently for the optical illusion Iris van Herpen gown she wore to the Golden Globes in February. “I love to have fun with my style, but lately, I’ve been gravitating towards elegance and looks that feel timeless,” she says. “Every now and then, I throw in something that’s a little trippy, like Iris van Herpen—she’s one of my absolute favourite designers.”

Similarly, King is a chameleon in her acting, with her biggest roles to date covering all sides of the small-screen spectrum. In the true crime miniseries The Act, she played Gypsy Rose Blanchard, a woman who, after years of abuse at the hands of her mother, is complicit in her murder. “Playing a character such as Gypsy and being able to transform myself into another human being in the way I wanted to (and I want to say this in the most sensitive way that I can, because it is somebody’s real life that I am portraying) was a dream,” she says. The fact that Blanchard was a real person scared her, too. “I knew people had footage to compare my performance to,” says King. “So that added another element of excitement as an actor and that fear of failure, which is honestly what drives me forward so aggressively.” The risk paid off, with King receiving Golden Globe, Emmy and Screen Actors Guild nominations for her portrayal.

This July, King returns in the sequel to Netflix’s ultra-popular romantic comedy The Kissing Booth, in which she plays Elle Evans, a quirky teenager whose romance with high school senior Noah (played by Jacob Elordi) puts a lifelong friendship in jeopardy. She serves as executive producer, too, which is no small feat for someone at the ripe age of 20. “It’s really nice to be part of a new side of filmmaking. I’ve always been interested in producing and getting a little bit behind the camera, because I love this industry and I love film- making so much, I want to know every aspect of it,” she tells me.

As she awaits production on two more projects, an adaptation of Jodi Picoult’s bestselling novel, A Spark of Light, and The In-Between, a romance described as a latter-day spin on Ghost—King is bent on soaking up as much as she can. “I have so many wonderful people to turn to for advice and for guidance, and I have a lot of experience under my belt, but I think just getting more knowledge is never a bad thing,” she says. She dreams of directing one day, but says, “My taste is changing so much in even the past three years, and so I think I want to let my taste develop even a little bit more before I decide to put my vision into something that’s watchable.”

February 25, 2020 Press-Projects-Radium Girls

Lydia Dean Pilcher and Ginny Mohler’s feature Radium Girls has been snapped up by Juno Films which is taking all North American rights and English-speaking territories. The pic, which made its world premiere at the 2018 Tribeca Film Festival, will open on April 3 at the Quad Cinema in New York followed by a national roll-out.

Starring Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Joey King and Little Women‘s Abby Quinn, Radium Girls follows teen sisters who dream of Hollywood and Egyptian pyramids as they paint luminous watch dials at the American Radium factory in New Jersey. When Jo (Quinn) loses a tooth, Bessie’s (King) world is turned upside down as a mystery slowly unravels. She discovers a corporate cover-up and, in a radical coming of age story, Bessie and the Radium Girls decide to take on American Radium. The national sensation following the case of the Radium Girls ultimately led to significant and lasting impact in the area of workplace health and safety and the study of radioactivity.

Radium Girls marks the feature directorial debuts of Emmy-winning and Oscar nominated producer Lydia Dean Pilcher and filmmaker Ginny Mohler, who co-wrote the feature with Brittany Shaw. Pilcher produced the film along with Emily McEvoy.

“At its heart, the Radium Girls’ story is an inspiration for people everywhere to question the facts we take for granted. It’s as relevant today as it was in the 1920’s,” said Pilcher and Mohler.

Grace and Frankie’s Lily Tomlin, Jane Wagner, Harriet Newman Leve, Jayne Baron Sherman and Willette Klausner are EPs. Already, the movie has won the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Feature Film Award. Radium Girls is a Cine Mosaic production in association with Double Play Connections, Schaefer Sisters, Probo Productions, and Creative Instinct.

“Radium Girls is a powerful retelling of a dark chapter in American history that illuminates what it takes for the powerless to stand-up to power,” says Elizabeth Sheldon of Juno Films. “We are proud to add this film to our roster of films by and about women.”

Said Tomlin and Wagner, “Radium Girls is a celebration of everyday women finding their strength in the unlikeliest of circumstances. Joey King and Abby Quinn deliver stand-out performances that explore the intimate lives of their characters and what it took for these women to piece together the obscured elements of wrongdoing in order to understand the scope of a larger injustice. “
