"I think there's something beautiful about being able to look back on any sequence of events that you've been through and come out grateful for it," Jenner exclusively told Us Weekly at the premiere of his film Billy Boy on Tuesday, June 12. "I feel like it's a yearbook of experience, as is this movie for me. So, I'm nothing but happy."
Jenner, 25, and Somerhalder, 29, actually star in the crime thriller together, which he wrote. "It is dark!" Jenner told Us of the film in Beverly Hills. "[Fans are] gonna see that there's not a weak link in the cast and everybody brought their A-game. I think people will be really impressed and take away something from it. There's something for everybody."
