Connick's daughters are well-traveled, joining him in Cyprus for a film shoot
Connick’s daughters, Georgia and Kate, are well-traveled and had previously joined him in Cyprus two years ago during the filming of Find Me Falling. One of Connick’s favorite days off involved spending time with his daughters and enjoying the local hospitality and cuisine. A local assistant extended a generous invitation for them to have lunch at her parents' small farm, which Connick describes as incredibly warm and welcoming.
He was amazed by the local feast prepared for them, which was ample enough to feed 50 people, even though only 10 were present. The hosts took the time to explain the local dishes they had made, making Connick feel exceptionally fortunate to experience such a unique and memorable day. Find Me Falling will be available on Netflix starting July 19.
