Hello everyone! Today, we’re diving into some intriguing Hollywood secrets straight from Jennifer Love Hewitt, who recently revealed her unique method for preparing emotional scenes. Buckle up, because this is going to be interesting!
During a candid chat with E! News, the 45-year-old “9-1-1” star shared that she has a rather unusual way to get into the right mindset for those tear-jerking moments on screen. Are you ready for this? Jennifer Love Hewitt watches pimple popping videos! Yes, you heard that right.
She explained, “I like to watch pimple popping videos. Because it’s really enjoyable, and it doesn’t mess with my headspace. It doesn’t take me out of the drama headspace and into a happier headspace.”
Let’s take a step back and think about it. While many might find solace in heart-wrenching music or personal memories, Hewitt opts for a more, let’s say, unconventional approach. The actress avoids looking at photos of her three children when she needs to bring on the tears. “I find it hard to look at pictures of my kids while I’m doing crying scenes because then I get really happy,” she said. So, to stay in the zone, she turns to these oddly satisfying videos.
Hewitt shares daughter Autumn, 10, and sons Atticus, 8, and Aidan, 2, with her husband Brian Hallisay. When she’s not on set, being a mom is her top priority, and it clearly influences her acting techniques.
But that’s not all. Jennifer also has other tricks up her sleeve to get into character. She mentioned listening to a lot of music to set the mood and keeping things light between takes to balance the intensity of her scenes. “Honestly, the drama stuff has gotten easier for me since having kids,” she shared. “Because I have such a better balance now of going to work and kind of being dramatic and doing all that and then the second that I walk in the door, it’s like you just have to be silly.”
It seems that motherhood has provided Jennifer with a perfect way to switch off from the heavy emotions of her job. Coming home to her kids instantly lifts her mood, helping her shake off any lingering negativity from her dramatic roles.
Hewitt, who joined the cast of Fox’s “9-1-1” in 2018, took a three-year hiatus from acting to focus on being a mom. Reflecting on this period, she told E! News in a 2019 interview, “I’ve gotten to be a professional my whole life. And now I’ve been a stay-at-home mom. And they both are equally as rewarding and beautiful and crazy and fun.”
So, folks, there you have it! Jennifer Love Hewitt’s surprising pre-scene ritual proves that even Hollywood stars have their unique ways of handling the pressures of their roles. Keep this in mind the next time you watch her tear up on screen—behind those emotional scenes might be a bizarre but effective technique involving pimple popping videos!
