The story has since gone viral, capturing the attention of fans and sparking conversations about the quirky behind-the-scenes moments that often go unnoticed in the world of television.
The unexpected request
During her appearance, Moss revealed that a crew member had sent an anonymous email requesting to keep the unique undergarments designed specifically for her character, Offred. “We had an email sent to all of the executive producers that was like a full list of all the props and costumes that we could take,” she explained.
In a lighthearted manner, Moss jokingly claimed her dibs on the items, including the custom underwear set that was tailored for her character.
Jimmy Kimmel’s reaction
Host Jimmy Kimmel was taken aback by the request, humorously questioning the intentions behind such a peculiar demand.
“Wait a minute… This is your custom underwear that you wore and some creep on the staff requested it in writing?” he exclaimed. The comedic exchange highlighted the absurdity of the situation, leaving viewers both amused and bewildered.
A twist in the tale
As the story unfolded, Moss later revealed that the individual behind the request had come forward after seeing her interview. “I think it’s so funny,” she said, indicating that the situation was not as scandalous as it initially seemed. The crew member clarified that it was a misunderstanding and that he hadn’t specifically asked for her underwear.
This twist added a layer of humor to the already amusing tale, showcasing the lighthearted camaraderie among the cast and crew.
With the first three episodes of The Handmaid’s Tale Season 6 now streaming on Hulu, fans are eager to dive back into the gripping narrative while also enjoying the lighter moments that come from behind the scenes.
