Jessica Biel and Elizabeth Banks found an unexpected way to connect with their co-stars before filming their upcoming thriller, The Better Sister. Instead of traditional rehearsals or script readings, the duo introduced the cast to padel, an indoor racket sport that quickly became a favorite among the group.
Elizabeth Banks described the experience as both fun and grounding, explaining that the cast played frequently and even traveled together to Brooklyn for matches. Biel, an advocate for the sport, emphasized its appeal over pickleball, predicting that padel would soon gain widespread popularity.
The bonding sessions helped create a strong sense of camaraderie before filming began, allowing the cast to build trust and familiarity in a relaxed setting. With The Better Sister set to premiere on Prime Video, Biel and Banks’ unique approach to team-building has added an extra layer of excitement to the project.
