Alison Brie and Dave Franco became ‘mom and dad’ on The Rental set – Opelika Auburn News

Alison Brie has admitted she and Dave Franco were "mom and dad of the set" for 'The Rental'.

The 38-year-old actress plays Michelle in the new horror movie - which was written and directed by her husband - and while she wanted to remain professional, they were still "husband and wife" during filming.

Speaking to HeyUGuys.com, she said: "We've acted together a couple of times. We've been on sets together before, I wasn't nervous at all, I just thought 'this'll be great'.

"And I'm so confident in him as a director that I knew it was going to be really fun. But in our first week, I think we were still in rehearsals and we'd got into the space, we're with the other actors and some of the crew.

"I went to ask a question and I like, 'Babe... do you think I should - I mean, Dave, Mr. Director, sir'. I took him aside into the other room, and I was like, 'Do you want me to call you Dave when we're on set instead of babe and honey? Does that undermine you're authority?'

"He just laughed at me and said 'I want you to call me David Franco'. I did call him babe and honey throughout shooting and I actually think it felt like we were mom and dad of the set. We really felt like husband and wife, but we're able to be professional."

Although Franco, 35, eventually cast his partner in the role, she didn't know she was going to be involved in front of the camera until after she'd helped him with the script.
