It's kinda crazy how similar they are. They're definitely at different stages in their lives, but both Jeremy and Jennifer have been working extremely hard for YEARS with little to no critical/ mainstream love or recognition who finally receive it for roles they didn't expect to go anywhere.

Lip has been a fan favourite for yyeaaarsss in Shameless. I think he feels like he wasn't noticed by the industry, not the fans per se. He is mainstream, but for one role, it must get increasingly discouraging. I'm glad he's doing new stuff now.

When Jennifer recalled those regrets about her early career breakout, sorting through her memories and emotions in real time, she looked like she was talking to a therapist. And the way Jeremy sat in the chair with his legs crossed, relaxed but totally attentive, looked exactly like a non-judgmental therapist. Impeccable complementary vibes!

In some of Jennifer's recent interviews and acceptance speeches, she's been saying, "I've been enjoying this ride I've been on" and, "This could be it." It's pretty much meaning the ride isn't going to last very long. I sincerely hope some directors are going to be offering Jennifer some great material to continue to show her range as an actress. After White Lotus, hopefully, there will be more opportunities and awards coming her way. Love her.
As someone who's a culinary arts graduate and has been in the food industry for 10 years, I appreciate Jeremy and the writers highlighting the REALITY of being a chef in the industry. It's chaos, work long hours, obsess over your craft, sleep, repeat. So great to hear that's why they kept a love interest out

And shooting a pilot of The Bear and waiting for 6 months. It tells you how difficult an artist’s journey is and yet they continue to show up and stay patient and then a day comes when they finally get to hold that Emmy. Nothing inspires more!

I never realized how easy he seems to talk to. Wow. As everyone else is saying in the comments though, really happy he's finally getting recognition. Also, she is a REALLY good interviewer. Using her own experiences to ask him questions, and help him feel more comfortable opening up and being vulnerable like this. The audience gets to see a totally different side to him (and her) as people and professionals.

After watching this man grow up on Shameless, I feel so personally invested in his success. The Bear has sealed his fate and I could not be happier. God how I love this man.
The chemistry between these two is sizzling
I think Jeremy killed it as a chef. I'm a cook, have been working and running different kitchens with different people and cultures since I was 17 years old. Kitchen life definitely transforms you completely. You need to be a strong person,both physically and mentally, to work in a great kitchen. Otherwise, you'll never make it. Keep it up, Jeremy, you are killing it.🇵🇷🔥👨🏻🍳
How does Jennifer not know how much we have all loved her for FOREVER?!?!?! I mean, yeah, now we are seeing even more parts of her...but she has never been part of any movie or TV show that she didn't add the IT factor it needed to be successful. What would 2 Broke Girls have been without her. Funny show, but with Jennifer, it made that show appointment TV for me.
Jeremy appears to be so thoughtful, and so genuinely interested in Jennifer and what she does, he seems to be a very nice guy. It's nice to see this in an actor, as so many are so self-involved. It's nice to discover he's so likable. And Jennifer's equally thoughtful. These are two people who did not expect the success they're experiencing, who do not take their accomplishments for granted.

Thats crazy to see this. Hearing Jeremy Allen White say essentially, similarly to Jennifer Coolidge, that he didn't think he belongs... cause he is absolutely phenomenal. I hope he can realize how fantastic of an actor he is. How he has really inspired many, and given such a good performance. Cause seeing him.. ugh it's just I love it. I love his work. I want to see him succeed. Him and Ayo, everyone really everyone.

As much as I'd love to see Jeremys Character in the Bear grow outside of his expertise and little world he has built for himself - I am not sure he actually needs a love interest. Just like Roy and Jamie on Ted Lasso,- for me at the very core of this story is Cami and Richi who are bound to eachother having lost someone so close to them. Their dynamic and their growth holding eachother up is what I'd like to see more of in Season 2.
