Joey King talks about filming his new Netflix hit, A Family Affair.
On The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Joey, 24, gushed about what she learned from her co-stars Zac Efron, 36, and Nicole Kidman, 57, and revealed how the experience transformed her into a gym enthusiast.
“They’re both very attractive and the fittest people I’ve ever met, so they inspired me. So I became kind of a gym junkie on set,” she confessed.
“She (Nicole) taught me the most epic and terrifying glute workout I’ve ever learned in my life. It was so intense,” she said.
Joey admitted that he had a hard time keeping up with the Academy Award winner.
“I thought, ‘I’m young, I can handle it… I’m agile.’ I thought I could handle it, but I couldn’t,” King admitted.
“There were all these donkey kicks, and the rainbows, and you know, the fire hydrants.”
“But you have to keep your leg in the air for about 12 years. It’s very hard,” he continued.

Kidman previously shared her fitness tips during an interview with the Los Angeles Times, explaining: “Variety is the best way[to get fit]that I’ve found.”
He added: ‘If you think you’re going to wake up and run five miles every morning for the rest of your life, you’re going to get bored and hit the snooze button after a week.
‘So I try to combine it with sports, running, yoga and even just going for walks with my husband and kids.’
A Family Affair premiered on Netflix on June 28, but Nicole recently revealed that the age-gap rom-com originally had a much more explicit title.

Recently revealed to People‘Originally, it had a different title. It was called Motherf***er. It rang. Somehow, it didn’t make it into the Netflix title.’
But Zac said the bold title drew people’s attention to the script, adding: “That kept the script at the top of the list. I wonder, what the hell could it be about?”
Nicole and Zac’s on-screen reunion was highly anticipated after they previously starred as lovers in the 2012 crime drama The Paperboy.
However, her new romantic comedy has divided viewers, who are hoping for more steamy scenes and romantic action from the film.
