Rising Aussie actress reveals the very surprising advice a Hollywood icon gave her: ‘She pulled me aside during a take’

Australian actress Tasneem Roc is sharing what she learned from a Hollywood legend.

Tasneem, 45, began her acting career on the popular 1997 series Heartbreak High and went on to land roles in Home And Away, Spirited and the drama series, Reef Doctors.

And now the Sydney-raised actress is starring opposite Brooke Shields in the Netflix romantic comedy Mother of the Bride.

Tasneem revealed the Blue Lagoon star offered her a surprising piece of advice.

‘She pulled me aside during a take where I am revealing this dress to her and she was like, “your neck”. I said, “what?”‘ Roc told the Daily Telegraph.

‘And she said, “Just be careful,” because they way that I had my head, I was giving myself a double chin. That was the tip that she gave me.’

Brooke Shields stars in the rom-com as the jittery helicopter mom to her calm daughter, played by Miranda Cosgrove, while Roc plays the role of Camala.

‘I’d say this is the biggest thing I’ve done so far,’ Tasneem told the publication.

‘They (the cast) were very gracious, very gregarious, they made a lot of time to talk to everyone,’ she added.

Brooke’s character Lana also has to deal with seeing her college ex, played by Benjamin Bratt, who in real life used to romance Julia Roberts but is now married to Bond girl Talisa Soto, and is best known for appearing on Law & Order.

‘It’s official… MOTHER OF THE BRIDE is coming out on @Netflix on May 9th globally!! We are so excited for you to see it, 45 day countdown,’ Shields wrote.
