Corey Mylchreest brought red-hot chemistry with Sofia Carson in their new film, My Oxford Year — but is the actor single in real life?
Mylchreest, 27, and Carson, 32, star as Jamie and Anna in the Netflix rom-com which premiered earlier this month. The film, an adaptation of Julia Whelan’’s novel of the same name, follows Anna as she falls in love with Jamie — who also happens to be her literature professor — while spending a year abroad at the University of Oxford. While the pair quickly develop an epic romance, Jamie is withholding a secret that threatens to change everything forever.
Following the film’s release, Mylchreest and Carson were applauded for characters’ chemistry. However, the Queen Charlotte star exclusively told Us Weekly that he and Carson didn’t totally agree on what’s needed when it comes to creating sparks on screen.
“Sophia is much more in the camp that it is this intangible thing,” he explained. “And I think I find it to be more about commitment to the role independently and your willingness to jump and discover what their relationship is.”

What Has Corey Mylchreest Said About Starring in Rom-Coms?
“In [terms of] storytelling, I think [romantic films are] quite fulfilling,” Mylchreest told Us earlier this month. “I think a lot of the time, rom-coms can be a bit like medicine. They can give a lot of escapism, especially right now. The world’s not a very cohesive and happy place. And in times like that, stories that are containing ‘com’ of the rom-com, can give you a bit of a break from everything. Alongside as an actor, challenging yourself and learning, you have a chance to give people a bit of a break from everything.”
