Dermot Mulroney: The Curse of the Wedding Cake

Dermot Mulroney, who played Michael O’Neal in the 1997 romantic comedy ‘My Best Friend’s Wedding,’ has revealed that he blames the film’s poster, which depicted him as a tiny figure on a wedding cake, for his subsequent lack of career success. Despite the movie’s popularity, Mulroney struggled to find work for a year, attributing it to his diminutive presence on the poster. However, he has since found success and returned to romantic comedies with 2023’s ‘Anyone But You.’ Mulroney, who also shared some ‘fatherly’ advice with Glen Powell, his co-star in ‘Anyone But You,’ emphasized the enduring impact of romantic comedies and the importance of embracing their emotional appeal.
