Mark Consuelos and Kelly Ripa recently shared amusing insights about Consuelos’ secret role in the highly anticipated movie, Scream 7. During a candid conversation on their daytime talk show, Ripa jokingly suggested that her husband could be the movie’s killer, adding a light-hearted twist to the mystery surrounding his character.
Consuelos, who has kept the details of the film under wraps, expressed that the role is especially meaningful to their eldest son, Michael. “Our son, who’s 28 now, thinks this is quite possibly the most impressive job I’ve ever booked. This is the coolest thing I’ve ever done,” he remarked. As a gesture of appreciation, he plans to create a special bound script for Michael once the movie is released, ensuring he doesn’t spoil any surprises ahead of time.
Despite her attempts to glean information about the film, Ripa acknowledged Consuelos’ commitment to maintaining confidentiality regarding his role, highlighting his respect for non-disclosure agreements. “He’s told me nothing. I know nothing. He’s very, very secretive,” she admitted playfully.
Although Consuelos continues to pursue acting roles—having joined Live With Kelly in 2023 and appearing in series like The Girls on the Bus and 9-1-1—Ripa has chosen to limit her acting engagements to focus on their show and her podcast. “I really am devoted to this show and my podcast. I feel like my plate is full,” she explained, emphasizing her desire to support their three adult children, particularly as their daughter embarks on a music career in London.
Consuelos’ involvement in Scream 7 adds to a star-studded cast, which includes returning favorites Neve Campbell and Courteney Cox. The movie is set to be released in theaters on February 27, promising both longtime fans and newcomers a thrilling experience in the iconic horror franchise.
Fans can catch Live With Kelly & Mark airing weekdays in syndication, while the excitement for Scream 7 builds with the release of the trailer. This fresh addition to the Scream series reflects the actors’ ability to engage in successful careers while also cherishing family connections.
