Ayesha Curry admits Steph’s ‘inspiration’ behind polarizing rom-com acting decision

Ayesha Curry has made a lot of headlines regarding her leading role in the Roku original movie “Second Chance Holiday” that released last week.

Many of these headlines pertain to her kiss with co-actor Matthew Daddario in the film, which went viral on social media.

Ayesha’s husband, Golden State Warriors superstar Steph Curry, has shown his wife nothing but support about this role, despite what might have been an uncomfortable kissing scene for him to witness.

And Ayesha admitted that Steph helped shape a key part of her character during an interview on NBC’s TODAY Show on Tuesday morning.

“I’m not superstitious at all. But my husband, Stephen, he definitely is,” Curry said when asked about her character in the film being superstitious.

“He has his pregame things that he does, and everything has to [fit]. The nap is at a certain time, and yeah,” Ayesha added.

“To an extent, yes. So I drew some inspiration for my character from him,” she responded when Al Roker said that Steph is a superstitious fellow.

In the film, Curry’s character believes her romantic life is cursed because she can’t get into a successful relationship.

That is, until she reunited with her former high school sweetheart, who is played by Daddario.

Steph had his fingerprints on Ayesha’s performance after all, even if it was just because of his superstitious nature.
