Canadian actor Dan Jeannotte has been one of our TV favorites since his career took off with CW's "Reign" and Freeform's "The Bold Type." Jeannotte is now a Hallmark standout, starring in "Paris, Wine & Romance," "The Royal Nanny," and 2023's "Sweeter Than Chocolate." But Jeannotte's presence isn't only strong on screen. Speaking with journalists while promoting his latest Hallmark film, Jeannotte made his support for diverse movies and television explicitly known.
Jeannotte told Us Weekly that "Sweeter Than Chocolate" was yet another step in Hallmark's journey to becoming more inclusive, saying the film was a "different kind of story" that stood out from past holiday rom-coms. The movie–which follows an investigative reporter who attempts to debunk a chocolatier's claim that eating one of her Cupid chocolates will lead them to love–included LGBTQ couples.
"There gets to be a great diversity of love stories, we have older people falling in love and same-sex couples. There is a nice diversity and that means a lot to me," Jeannotte told Digital Journal. The actor noted that "the other love stories" being explored in these films "show there [are as] many different ways to fall in love as there are different people in the world."
