Alex Painted The Tree

He and his cousin, his best friend, were very close.
Not only them but their families were also too close. They went on picnics together and used to have lots of fun.
He and his cousin were close and did many unnecessary things together; one was painting a tree.
Alex used to sleep at his cousin’s place on weekends, so they both decided to paint the tree one weekend.

The dad started beating his cousin, and Alex also got slapped.

It was a callous decision for him as he was scared to mess up as the movie was successful.
However, he was young and needed more exposure, so he took the risk and took the part.
