Caleb McLaughlin recently sat down with TODAY to talk about the upcoming movie
Shooting Stars. He said that he has a tiny part in the film playing one of
LeBron’s high school best friends, Lil’ Dru. During the conversation, the host
also pointed out that the cast formed a real bond with the NBA star while
shooting this film. In his response, the 21-year-old agreed that they did have
original chemistry on the set. “It was not fake at all. We spent a lot of time
with each other we stayed in the same building,” he remarked.



He continued praising James, saying he used to hang out with them after shooting
no matter if it was past 12 am. From playing video games to going out for
dinner, they had all the fun. Moreover, Caleb McLaughlin revealed that they
still have chat groups even though the filming has wrapped and find time to talk
to each other.
