Country artist Jake Owen is making his acting debut this weekend.

“Our Friend” is based on a true story of the Teague family comprised of journalist Matt (Casey Affleck), his wife Nicole (Dakota Johnson), and their two daughters and how their lives are upended by Nicole’s heartbreaking diagnosis of terminal cancer.

Via Instagram, Owen shared, “I’ve never been in a “movie” before so I won’t lie.. sitting down in front of Dakota Johnson, Jason Segel, and Casey Affleck and acting like I knew what I was doing, was a bit of a challenge. I’ve always loved a good challenge.”
