Jennifer Love Hewitt felt anxious about fan reactions to her I Know What You Did Last Summer return

Jennifer Love Hewitt felt anxious about fan reactions to her I Know What You Did Last Summer return.

The 46-year-old actress has reprised the role of Julie James for the new I Know What You Did Last Summer movie, but Jennifer admits that she initially hesitant about returning to the film franchise.

She told Vulture: "All of my friends had to talk me into it. Literally up until the last night before shooting, they were like, ‘You know you’re going tomorrow, right?’"

Jennifer starred in the original I Know What You Did Last Summer movie back in 1997, but she worried about how fans would respond to her return.

Asked why she felt anxious about returning to the film franchise, Jennifer replied: "What people were going to say about how much older I would seem than when I was 18. That’s literally the only thing I was anxious about."

The movie star recently confessed that she was sceptical about the idea of returning to the franchise.

She told The Hollywood Reporter: "I was hesitant at first. I wanted to make sure that she fit into the movie in the right way and that there was a reason for her to come back besides just the ‘90s nostalgia moment.

"I wanted her part in the movie to matter and for the audience to feel like they were proud of who she has become."
