Ryan Paevey on Love, Hawaii & Shirtlessness in ‘Two Tickets to Paradise’ (VIDEO)
How common is it for two people who were both dumped at the altar to actually find each other? That’s the setup of the fun new Hallmark romance Two Tickets to Paradise, which kicks off with Josh Wyatt (Ryan Paevey) and Hannah Holt (Ashley Williams) meeting and bonding over their mutual heartbreak. And after Josh urges Hannah to go through with her honeymoon in Hawaii, he ends up at the same hotel!
“We both kind of undergo a similar journey to letting go, just at a slightly different time,” Paevey tells TV Insider about what connects the two characters — both who could stand to be a little looser about how they live their lives.
Also in the film are fun activities like surfing and a three-legged race with Josh and Hannah competing against other couples staying at the hotel. “We shot the three-legged race right in the main area of the Royal Hawaiian hotel so we had a whole bunch of people watching us,” Paevey laughed about shooting the fun scene in the film. “There isn’t a ton of dancing in this film but they did manage to give us a coordination test nonetheless…we had a blast.”
And given the island setting of the film, even Paevey noticed that there were quite a bit more occasions for him to be without his shirt in Two Tickets to Paradise than in the usual Hallmark film. “I’m not used to being shirtless in these things and maybe once upon a time I was hyper-fit,” he says, “[but] when we got the email about this, I was eating pizza with my manager. I started running every day and I tried to go back to my psycho-fit ways for about two weeks before we filmed.”

I like this movie. Great scenery, great dialogue and both are likable believable characters. It has a good story line with a little more depth of character than some of the Hallmark movies.

We have watched and enjoyed this movie with friends and family. It is enjoyable and has a real family oriented message for recovery from adversity.
I am disappointed that you published a "hate response" to Mr Paevey's GH days. Many of these were seen during his early days on GH.... and many of the critical regretted their original ugly remarks as his fan base from GH grew year to year as his acting experience grew...
His many fans have since followed him to Hallmark since he was offered movies with them.
Enough of the hate reponses for any actor. This is not the place for such.

I think this is the best movie he’s made so far…the best Hallmark movie I’ve seen in a long time. Great chemistry between Ashley and Ryan. Nice storyline…beautiful scenery……they looked like they had a great time making this movie….I loved it. Leaves you feeling good! Hope they make a sequel!

He's definitely nice to look at, but let's be honest, that's all he has to offer. He was HORRENDOUS on GH, and you put it perfectly: you can tell by any interview that's there's nothing there.
