“It was so so so so so much fun. And I don’t usually work with a lot, a lot of kids. So working with nine other kids on set was crazy. It was so much fun,” she told us.

While one might assume a set with so many kids would get hectic, Harris shared that the film set was pretty relaxed.

“It wasn’t like absolute chaos, but I’m super mellow,” she said. “Just chilling.”

As for her relationship with her co-stars, Mykal-Michelle says they all became family while working on Cheaper By The Dozen.

“Every time I go to a new show, I always develop a new family or show movie you know, not same thing. But you know, I mean, I always develop a new family,” she explained. “And it was so so much fun. Getting to meet them. A lot of names to remember but you know, still fun.”

Cheaper By The Dozen is now streaming on Disney+.

The film also stars Erika Christensen, Timon Kyle Durrett, Journee Brown, Kylie Rogers, Andre Robinson, Caylee Blosenski, Aryan Simhadri, Leo Abelo Perry, Mykal-Michelle Harris, Christian Cote, Sebastian Cote and Luke Prael.
