Leighton Meester would not be taking that trip to Croatia like her character Beth in The Weekend Away.

Leighton Meester Talks About Motherhood and Her &#8216;The Weekend Away&#8217; Character Beth

The Weekend Star, Leighton Meester revealed the instant connection she felt with
her movie character Beth. Meester plays a new mom, who embarked on a week-long
vacation with her best friend Kate in Croatia. However, their fun trip comes to
a halt when Kate is murdered and Beth finds herself the prime suspect in the
case. 

Meester herself welcomed her second child, with her husband Adam Brody in 2020.
Being a mother of two, the 35-year-old was able to connect with her character
immediately. In an interview with Cosmopolitan UK’s YouTube channel, she said,
“When I got the script breakdown it was like a 35-year-old [woman] with a
10-month-old [baby], and I was like, ‘That is exactly me.‘”


LEIGHTON MEESTER ON BEING TERRIFIED OF LEAVING HER KIDS

She further expressed her worries about being away from her kids and how
difficult it is to be calm in such situations.

“There’s a need, at least for me, when anything happens — if your kid gets hurt
or something happens — that that’s the number one concern. And you have to be
the grown-up — which it’s really hard to be, even when you are the grown-up —
and set the tone and be calm and comforting and freak out later.”



She confessed how being in Beth’s position, especially as a new mother, would
freak her out. 

“But she’s not with her kid. That would drive me mad. I would be devastated to
be in a situation like that and be thousands of miles away from my kid.”

NEW MUSIC IS ON THE WAY 

Leighton Meester [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/leighton-meester] will be
dropping new music soon, probably at the end of this year. The Gossip Girl alum
shared that she has already written and recorded a few things. Her music project
took a backseat due to her pregnancy and the pandemic. 

‘I had it ready and set to go, and then pandemic…And I’ve had another child. So
I thought, ‘This isn’t the right timing.’ So I think that the timing will
probably happen this year, hopefully.’
