“We absolutely adore the wave we’re riding right now—it’s like a tidal wave,” she expressed on the SAG Awards red carpet when asked about her collaboration with the cast. “We’re truly having a blast. We’ve got an amazing group of individuals.” She also revealed that portraying her character’s meltdowns proved to be a challenging task that she ultimately found gratifying.
“It’s quite intriguing because those scenes used to intimidate me. They’re not part of my natural persona. However, if you dig deep enough, you eventually find it,” she disclosed. “It’s there. And it’s like, ‘Oh, what a pleasant surprise.’ I’ve received a lot of feedback from moms expressing their gratitude. So I feel like that particular aspect of the show was meant for the mothers.” Aniston recently confided in PEOPLE that she’s been “ecstatic” about the overwhelming appreciation for the television series.
“We were definitely taking a leap of faith, you know? Apple was already working on their streaming service, so we all felt like we were in this together. It was a mix of excitement and fear, like a thrilling rollercoaster ride. But I can’t deny how amazing it felt to be so deeply involved. Addressing a sensitive and controversial topic was important, especially considering the current times we’re living in. It’s been quite a whirlwind experience, leaving me feeling a little windblown, to say the least.”
