«I loved working with Donald on Atlanta, when he wanted to do something in the future it was like a dream come true,» Sloane shared during the interview.

«When he brought Mr. & Mrs. Smith, initially I thought he was joking, but when we started discussing it, figuring out how to do our version, it felt intriguing and very exciting,» she added.
