“[I’m] very happy Kristen was involved in this project. I have a special place in my heart for her. She’s unsurprisingly talented at this point.”
In addition, Harper Steele also praised the work of director Josh Greenbaum, stating that he and Ferrell did not have anything to do with “the blood and sweat that went into it.” Will & Harper had initially failed to get nominated at the Academy Awards this year, and Steele shared his response to the same, as he stated:
