SEPARATELY YARA SHAHIDI AND CHARLES MELTON ARE VERY DIFFERENT PEOPLE. SHES, THE BRAINS, HITTING THE BOOKS AT HARVARD AND HOBNOBBING WITH MICHELLE OBAMA. HE'S ALL HEART, THE REAL-LIFE SENSITIVE GUY BEHIND TV'S FAVORITE JOCK. BUT TOGETHER, THE MAGNETIC LEADS OF THE SUN IS ALSO A STAR PURE CHEMISTRY-AND YOUNG HOLLYWOOD'S NEW KING AND QUEEN.
Charles Melton believes in love at first sight.
The 28-year-old actor, whose hair/body/face look like they were generated from a Create-a-2019-Heartthrob machine, is telling me how he knows the concept is real: It’s happened to him many times.
“I think you can fall in love in the snap of a finger, you know?” he says, running his own through those dark, swooping locks—something he does a lot, like he’s aware of what a gift it is to witness. I don’t know why, but I let him talk me into it. “It all started when I was 13 or 14,” he recalls, grinning. “Every girl I was with, I thought I was gonna marry.”
When I ask Yara Shahidi, who costars with Charles in the upcoming YA-adapted movie The Sun Is Also a Star, what she thinks about love at first sight, she takes her own distinctly analytical approach. Sitting in a makeup chair getting ready for the shoot, the polished activist and Grown-ish star reasons that yes, it must be possible, because her parents are proof. She flashes a smile at her mom, Keri, who’s hanging out on-set and who’s been married to Yara’s dad for 20 years.
These two perspectives—Charles might as well have cartoon Cupids floating above his head, while Yara is always prepped to give a well researched theory on any subject—perfectly sum up these rising stars. He enters a room heart-first; she thinks about what she’s going to say when she gets there. The question is: How much of Yara and Charles’s images are crafted as marketable caricature, and how much is the real deal?
“She’s very practical and logical,” says Charles. “My head’s in the clouds,” he adds, waving his arms around. “I’m a dreamer. I’m a hopeless romantic!”
