Kevin James joins Elias on Pop Culture Unplugged during press day for Solo Mio to talk about what he calls the most personal film of his career.

In this heartfelt conversation, Kevin opens up about stepping into a story that begins with heartbreak instead of comedy, why contrast is essential to great storytelling, and how friendship becomes the emotional backbone of Solo Mio.

Kevin shares why playing Matt Taylor was deeply personal, how filming in Italy elevated the story, and why this romantic comedy feels different from anything he’s done before.

“This is my favorite film by far.”
“You can’t give up — that broken heart might be what leads you to real love.”

From vulnerability and isolation to hope and second chances, Kevin reflects on love, loss, and the importance of getting back up when life knocks you down.
