François Arnaud from Heated Rivalry on Miley Cyrus with music from season 2
‘Heated Rivalry’ star François Arnaud responds to Miley Cyrus saying she’s “so into” contributing music to the second season of the hit HBO Max/Crave show.
Cyrus told me exclusively at the Palm Springs International Film Festival gala on Saturday night that even though she hasn’t seen the show yet, she’s excited to sing a song for them.
“Oh, I’ll be right there. Book me. Get me booked!” she said.
Arnaud told me at the Critics Choice Awards on Sunday, “I think we might get a little bit bigger budget for Season 2, but I don’t know if we’ll get Miley’s budget.”
But then he added, “I think if she sees the show, she might give us a discount.” (Watch the full interview with Arnaud at the top of this story.)
Last week, rumors swirled that Cyrus was a fan of the show because she apparently liked a “Heated Rivalry” post on social media. “I haven’t seen it yet, but this is on my to-do list now,” she said. “This is all I heard about – every conversation I’ve had today started with you saying, ‘You have to.’ [watch it].’”
Arnaud also talked about what he would like to see for his character Scott Hunter and his friend Kip (played by Robbie GK) in season 2. “I would like them to face the constant challenges of a very famous being with someone who didn’t choose that for their life at all and is forced to do so,” he said.
Arnaud also joked, “I think Kip should stop training for the second season. That’s what I want to see. Like he’s a smoothie boy. Why does he have the best body of all of us?”
“Sorry, Baby” filmmaker and star Eva Victor also revealed on the Critics Choice carpet that she is a “Heated Rivalry” fan.
“I had fits of sweat when I saw him,” she said, looking across the carpet at Aranud.
About the series, she said: “I’m absolutely devastated. It’s the most sexually interesting thing I’ve ever seen in my life… Brainwise, it’s sexually interesting and very seductive.”
Victor continued: “When they said I wanted to go to the cottage, I was overjoyed. I’ve never been in better mental shape in my life.”
