The 'Pretty Little Liars' star, who her her first big screen role in 'Mother's Day' alongside Jennifer Aniston, talks how she was treated on set, and what she does to stay looking so good.
Shay Mitchell is no stranger to lights, camera, action on the
set of Freeform’s hit series
Pretty Little Liars. Since 2010, she, along with
Ashley Benson, Lucy Hale, Troian Bellisario and Sasha Pieterse, has been
bringing audiences the ‘ooos and aahs.’ Now, her talent will be seen on the big
screen in
Mother’s Day, which, after she joined the cast for her first movie role, brought her the same shock value.

Naturally being a part in the ensemble movie also starring
Jennifer Aniston, Kate Hudson, Julia Roberts would garner that reaction and also some nerves. “Oh my gosh,
absolutely,” says the
Friends fan of those butterflies. “I was playing opposite
of Jen which was quite surreal. Obviously getting to work with Garry Marshall
and getting to play the new wife to Timothy Olyphant is not really a bad set
up.”
