Does Luke Macfarlane Actually Play the Cello?

Fans noticed that Luke Macfarlane was playing the cello in his Hallmark Channel movie, “Chateau Christmas.” However, was that really him? Many may not know this about Luke, but he does in fact play the cello.

He is musically talented and also plays the trumpet!

Fun fact! At first the movie called for Luke’s character to play the violin, but when the production team found out he knew how to play the cello, they wrote that in to the new script.

Since this movie was filmed during the pandemic, the cast was in quarantine. Luke made the best of his quarantine time by practicing on his instruments. Watch a behind the scenes video he shared with his Instagram followers. This is what he said.

Good news i am starting a new film! But I’m quarantined in this hotel room for 14days. Literally can’t leave! But I brought my cello, so we are taking this time to get acquainted with each other again. This is Bach’s prelude from suite 1 Gmaj….. trigger warning for #joshlyman #thewestwing 🙂
