Ginny & Georgia star Sara Waisglass has addressed the concerns of fans over the noticeable growth of Diesel La Torraca, who plays the beloved character of Austin. In a recent interview with Us Weekly, discussing her upcoming film How to Lose a Popularity Contest, Waisglass reassured fans by praising La Torraca's handling of the attention. "He's doing a great job with it. He's taking it all in stride," she shared.
The actress also reflected on how fortunate young actors are to grow up in their roles and how lucky they all are to have a job that allows for growth. She pointed out La Torraca's recent growth spurt, noting that his experience mirrors her own as a former child actor. "He's taller than me and he's always been my peer because I was a child actor. So I remember that I was too young to hang out with the adults but too old to hang out with people my own age. So I really understood," she explained.
Reflecting on how quickly time has passed, Waisglass admitted that watching La Torraca mature has been surreal. "It's weird that I met him when he was 8 years old and now here's this man who is talking about his process and stuff. It’s wild. But the funniest was the first time we had a read-through," she said. "We always go through the table, and we're like, 'Hi, I'm playing Max.' And we get to Diesel and he has his deep voice. We laughed so hard," she concluded.
