Filmmaker Matthew Kaplan is in charge of several well-liked young adult movies. The enormous popularity of his teen romance To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before led to countless sequels. A Gen Z power couple is in the making with this businessman and Alexandra “Alex” Cooper, the host of the podcast “Call Her Daddy.”
Before becoming the media mogul and creator of ACE Entertainment, he served as president of Awesomeness Films. He has slowly moved up the Hollywood food chain. He places a lot of emphasis on discovering new talent, which is one of his success formulas. Instead of merely hiring well-known celebrities, he helps budding amateur actors.
Cooper and Kaplan’s relationship has been kept somewhat under wraps, but the devoted listeners of the popular podcaster were able to piece together the jigsaw using information from Cooper’s program.
Matt Kaplan: Who Is He?
Matthew Kaplan, who was born on April 14th, 1984, played quarterback for the Lions in NCAA football and obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree from Columbia University. Les Moonves, the president of CBS, recruited him as an intern right after graduation, and he eventually progressed to the position of director of digital development.
After resigning amicably from CBS, where he managed movies like Amy Poehler and Paul Rudd’s They Came Together, he joined Lionsgate Films.
The former intern who is now a producer put a lot of effort into starting Chapter One Films and negotiated the first-look contract with Blumhouse Productions. Before Kaplan joined Awesomeness in 2015, where he oversaw their film division, Chapter One produced movies including The Lazarus Effect and 6 Miranda Drive.
Since the firm was new to the film industry, this job was enormous, but Kaplan came through and helped make several young adult pictures. One of these was the 2017 film Before I Fall, which starred Zoey Deutch.
Kaplan quit Awesomeness after two years to once more try his hand at starting his own production firm. This company, currently known as ACE Entertainment, caters to the young adult market.
After completing the production of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, ACE became recognized as a top production company. Kaplan’s other movies include Spontaneous (2020), The Perfect Date (2019), and The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight, which will soon be accessible on Netflix.
How Did Kaplan and Cooper Meet?
At a business meeting in 2020, when the pandemic was at its worst, the two spoke via Zoom. According to rumors, Cooper fell head over heels for the movie mogul’s rugged beauty. The two ultimately met for a work dinner.
Due to their occupations, they agreed to keep their week-long date a secret after the meal. Cooper did reveal that her boyfriend had a puppy named Henry and worked as a producer, though.
