VIDEO EXCLUSIVE: Robert Palmer Watkins On Working WIth Matt Rife On His New Movie ‘Trapped Inn’

In a sit-down conversation with uInterview, actor Robert Palmer Watkins discussed his movie Trapped Inn.

Palmer, a former star of General Hospital, set up the premise of the film. “It’s a movie about a cycling team that’s training in the Alps of France,” he told uInterview founder Erik Meers. “They’re staying at this inn while they’re training, and all of a sudden, the world shuts down. It seems kind of similar to what we just went through in real life with Covid. But what I loved about the script and the story is that it steers off in all different directions that you would never expect when you start watching the movie. It’s definitely more than just a virus, but I think it’s really cool because the world can relate to how that feels – to be isolated and trapped.”

Palmer reminisced about his favorite behind-the-scenes moment. “This is just a funny thing,” he said. “I just remember a conversation we had about TikTok. We were all talking about Matt – Matt Rife, who is now traveling the world as a famous dude – and we were like, ‘Matt, dude, you should really do more TikToks man.’ Ricky Eugene, who plays one of the cyclists in the movie as well, said, ‘I’ve been telling him, man, he has to get on TikTok. Long story short, Matt was like, ‘No, no, I’m not selling out, that’s for kids, I’m not doing that I’m just doing Instagram!'”

Palmer continued, “Well, I don’t know when he started doing it, but within the next year, he started posting on TikTok, he got like 55 million views, now he’s a massive star, and I just will never forget that because it’s so funny that stuff can happen so fast. He had the talent all along, and it’s been really cool to see his fame rise, when just a few short years ago, he was like, ‘I don’t know, man, we’ll see what happens.'”

Trapped Inn can be streamed now on Hulu and HBO.
