While getting interviewed as the cover for next month’s Harper’s Bazaar issue,<\/strong> Qualley opened up about her reaction to the whole ordeal.<\/p>\n “I would tell my mom how much I loved The Parent Trap<\/em> and be like, ‘We should watch it. It’s a really smart movie. They make a lot of good decisions in that movie,'” said Qualley.<\/p>\n Shortly after this suggestion, MacDowell filmed the movie Dinner With Friends<\/em> with Quaid.<\/p>\n “She comes home and she’s like, ‘Margaret, I know how much you love The Parent Trap<\/em>\u2026'” recalled Qualley.<\/p>\n “And I was like, ‘Yeah?’ and waiting with bated breath, hoping my parents were getting back together. And then in walks Dennis Quaid\u2014her new boyfriend,” said the actress, 28.<\/p>\n “I wasn\u2019t living in Hollywood; I was living in a normal suburban town. But then I would have these ‘what in the world?’ moments,” Qualley said of the experience.<\/p>\n She also opened up about what it was like to have her mother acting in films as she was growing up.<\/p>\n “I think I understood enough to be proud of her,” reflects Qualley. “At the same time, I didn’t love the whole movie thing when I was a kid.”<\/p>\n “My mom going off to do a movie just meant she’s going to leave town and go kiss some other dude and have a pretend life that I\u2019m not involved in.”<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/images.toofab.com\/image\/53\/5by4\/2021\/06\/04\/5325779ec50944aba14bddf5b0a0e698_xs.jpg\")
