A love of hummus

Joey King’s tribute to Israel

She got a smoothie at the shuk, and indulged in some yummy hummus with Israeli star Lior Ashkenazi, who will play King and Rahav’s onscreen father, Sol.

Actress Joey King, of Kissing Booth and The Act fame, is currently working on a show with a very Israeli cast – an adaptation of the book We Were the Lucky Ones. So of course, the 23-year-old star had to take a detour after shooting in Romania for some needed R&R in Tel Aviv. It looked, at least judging by her Instagram, idyllic.

King’s intrepid guide through the Israeli city was Amit Rahav (of Unorthodox and Transatlantic fame) who is starring as Addy in Lucky Ones, the third son of the Jewish Kurc family at the centre of the upcoming Holocaust program where King plays the youngest daughter, Halina.

Rahav took King to all the important places – from the shuk to the beach. The two did some seaside handstands. She got a smoothie at the shuk, and indulged in some yummy hummus with Israeli star Lior Ashkenazi, who will play King and Rahav’s onscreen father, Sol.

King also chilled by the beach and pool, and one very relatable picture showed King passed out on the couch – because that’s exactly what happens when you try to take on Tel Aviv to the fullest.

But perhaps most iconic of all, the actress was so inspired by the sensory delight that is Tel Aviv and Jaffa that she went to the Derech Yaffa studio for a tattoo of the word “hummus” in Hebrew, on the nape of her neck.

All of these highlights were shared in an Instagram post with the caption, “Me?! Have the time of my life in Tel Aviv?!? Guilty.” No lies spotted here.
