After Ever Happy's Hero Fiennes Tiffin expects mixed reactions to ending (2024)

After Ever Happy spoilers follow.

After Ever Happy star Hero Fiennes Tiffin has expressed his concern that fans may not like the ending to the latest movie in the hit franchise.

The movie picks up from the shocking After We Fell cliffhanger, in which Hardin (Tiffin) discovered who his real father is. At the start of the film, it looks like he hasn't exactly taken the news well, which could spell trouble for his relationship with Tessa (Josephine Langford).

While fans of romantic movies know things usually turn out for the best in the end, Tiffin has warned that fans may not be prepared for how this instalment ends for the fan-favourite couple.

"I think there will be mixed reactions, for sure," he told Entertainment Weekly. "I'm aware that it might not be what most people expect, but also I think that's the beauty of cinema, when you sat next to your best friend and you agree on so much and then the film ends and you're like, 'I thought this,' and 'I thought that,' and that shows how much people care.

"Everyone's opinion should matter and it's nice when you can debate over what you think happened or should have happened."

Despite his doubts about what fans will think, that hasn't dampened Tiffin's excitement for the film's release.

"Watching it back, it feels different," he said. "It feels like a more grown-up version because they are more grown up. It's so nice that not just the fans have grown up together, but I've grown up, the characters have grown up, and we've all been on this journey together."

The movie sadly ends with Hardin and Tessa splitting up. However, that doesn't mean it's the end for the beloved characters' relationship. We end with a 'to be continued…' tease and a fifth movie, titled After Everything, already in the works.

After Ever Happy is out in the US now. It will be released on Prime Video in the UK later this month.
