Her personal life and the circumstances of her character aligned and the actress needed to ask for help so that the situation did not get worse.
During the filming of the second season of the series –we still don’t know if there will be a third season of ‘The Flight Attendant’–, Kaley Cuoco did not hesitate to ask the producers for support when she was affected by her divorce with Karl Cook.
“Within a month of starting, I had an “intervention” with myself in my trailer. All the producers were there. Said, ‘I need help‘. It was interesting to say it out loud and have everyone respond: ‘Yes, we want to help you!‘ I am a hard-working woman, and very independent, and I am usually very proud of doing everything myself. But this time, he literally couldn’t.“
The actress assured that the time she was going through her divorce was “the loneliest I’ve ever experienced, and I don’t usually share these things. I’ve been open about it, because I think for the first time I needed to let people know that things aren’t always what they seem. They are not always perfect.“
Filming the second batch, Cuoco was very emotionally affected by the history of her character Cassie, who was dealing with depression. “Going through my divorce was a very dark time“, he kept saying. “I just didn’t know how to process it. I immersed myself in work to deny my depression and anger. Unfortunately, the character was so depressed that he wasn’t helping me. I was really in pain. Many tears.“
The actress also wanted to highlight how important the help of Zosia Mamet, her co-star, was. During filming, Mamet even moved into Cuoco’s house. “She basically lived with me for the last few months of filming, and I think some days I wouldn’t have gone to work if it hadn’t been for her. I never thought she would depend on anyone so much. She helped me improve a lot.“commented the actress in The Kelly Clarkson Show.
Kaley Cuoco is now in a relationship with the ‘Ozark’ actor Tom Pelphrey. The couple recently celebrated the two nominations they received for the 2022 Emmy Awards: him for Lead Actor in a Drama Series (‘Ozark’); and her as a leading actress in a comedy for ‘The Flight Attendant’, which is available at hbo max.
