Jedward And Tara Reid Speak About Their Quarantine In LA And Upcoming Projects

In an exclusive interview for PageSix’s ‘We Hear’ podcast, Sharknado star Tara Reid spoke about life in quarantine in Los Angeles. She revealed that not only is she sharing her lockdown with her boyfriend, but also her best friends, John and Edward, aka Jedward, who have an apartment in the same building as her.

Tara spoke about her upcoming films, which she has been making during the quarantine, including one which deals with the current COVID-19 crisis, called ‘Dr Quarantine’, which sees her play a psychiatrist, who treats her patients via video chat. Another film in the works is the thriller, ‘Masha’s Mushroom’, which also stars fellow Sharknado alumnus, Vivica A. Fox, and Hollywood legend, Beverly D’Angelo. Tara commented that as she is a producer on the film, she was able to ensure that John and Edward have roles as well, and they will feature in the film as angels.

John and Edward have been writing and recording music during their time in lockdown, with their fifth album set for release in the not too distant future. They’ve also been making music videos for songs from their fourth album, ‘Voice Of A Rebel’, which was released through Universal Music Singapore. The duo signed with UMSG last year, and the new album will be their second for the label.
