Jennifer Coolidge has stolen scenes in more than 100 films and TV shows, but one of her most memorable experiences happened in the aisle of a grocery store: 'I look, and, oh my god, it’s fricking Ryan Gosling.'
The White Lotus, in part concocted to show how far the actor’s range extends beyond broad comedy.
He calls me up, and I thought the world was just doomed so I was with this friend eating ourselves to death. I felt like we were on this sinking ship, and we better [enjoy what we can] before this ship goes under. I asked him how much time I had to get ready. Mike was like, “It’s happening now, Jennifer. . .We’re all flying to Hawaii.” It was devastating news. To be on camera after this. . . are you kidding me? I just didn't want to do it.
Yeah. I just didn’t realize the impact the movie would have on me. I went to a screening in New York and didn’t know what I was in for. And I knew the script! But I didn’t know how it was going to feel. When the movie ended, I couldn’t get out of my chair. I was just sitting there staring at the screen. It was so cathartic. . . [reliving] all my feelings during dates and a lot of things that had gone wrong in my life—a lot of experiences where it just didn’t end well and the guys weren’t nice.
What was funny was I didn’t even know the guy I [was simulating sex] with. We talked about going to dinner after we finished. But by the end it was like we had sex all day with our plastic suits on. It was so intimate. We were both like, “Okay. Well, take care.” Neither of us ever wanted to see each other again.I was telling a friend the other day about the time I went for this job in San Francisco. I had to fly myself up there. It was one of the first jobs I ever did—an independent film.
If you’re an actress and you’re hitchhiking, they’re going to pick you up, because they don’t think you’re a threat. It’s hard, if you’re traveling a lot by yourself, to break in with people. But if you’re the lady in the movies, and I play a lot of people that aren’t bad people, people figure that you’re that lady. They'll invite you to something that they wouldn't normally invite a stranger to.Yeah. I recently hitchhiked in Maui when we were there.
