Martin and Jenna’s recent film, “Miller’s Girl”, faced criticism when it was revealed that their characters would be romantically involved with each other. Fans called out the actors’ age as an issue… as there is a 31-year age difference between the two.
However, the actor told many times …This play is about an inappropriate relationship between a teacher and a student – which means they have to be completely different ages… And to emphasize, this is the entire point of the film.
he adds … “[It’s] Adult and micro. It’s not saying, ‘Isn’t this great?'”

As far as how Jenna feels about the situation… she hasn’t spoken out about it directly yet.
FWIW, a lot of
