Chrissy Metz sat down with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show to talk about her Broadway debut in & JULIET. In the clip, she shared that she never anticipated that the role would involve kissing NSYNC member Joey Fatone. She also discussed how grueling the schedule is, as well as some onstage mishaps.
"A lot of red-light therapy, a lot of magnesium salt baths, prayer, and... a lot of sleep," she shared about how she gets through the tough schedule "Eight shows is grueling, and I'm no spring chicken!"
"Did I ever think I'd be kissing an NSync boy-band, like, mega star?" she gushed, referring to her co-star Fatone."It's very cool, until you're sweating. It's not cute. Sweaty kisses are not cute."
Beyond her Broadway work, Metz also discussed her television projects during the interview, including a role as a distraught woman in the Apple TV+ series NOCTURNE. She also shared a story from her teenage years about attempting to get out of a scat workshop while attending choral camp, a memory that offered some context for her long-standing connection to performance and music.
