Los Angeles, California – Jessica Williams, a first-time Emmy nominee, revealed that her “Shrinking” co-stars have a group text chain but one cast member, Harrison Ford, is not included. Williams plays a spunky therapist in the Apple TV series, while Ford portrays her curmudgeonly mentor. Despite their on-screen chemistry, Ford is apparently not a fan of texting. Williams shared this tidbit ahead of the Emmy Awards, where she is nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.
Williams, 34, admitted that Ford’s absence from the group chat was noticeable. She jokingly referred to it as a “group chat minus one.” When asked if Ford simply didn’t own a phone, Williams replied, “I just don’t think he texts. I don’t think he has to text. I don’t even know if he has a phone.”
In the series, Williams’ character drives Ford’s character to work, a daunting task for the actress. She admitted feeling nervous driving in front of the legendary actor, likening it to suddenly becoming self-conscious about typing when someone is watching over your shoulder. Williams also praised Ford’s sense of humor, describing him as a “classic joke teller.” She mentioned how he would set up a punchline and tell stories, embodying an old-school comedic style.
Williams, originally from Los Angeles, moved to New York at 22 to work on “The Daily Show” with Jon Stewart, becoming the show’s youngest correspondent. After spending a decade in the Big Apple, she now resides in Eagle Rock, California. Despite missing her favorite East Coast restaurants, Williams is relieved to no longer have to navigate the subway, citing anxiety and the potential for getting stuck underground during work.
As for her fashion choices for the Emmy Awards, Williams expressed gratitude to Rodarte for accommodating her size 14 figure, lamenting the difficulty of finding designer clothes for women of her size. Looking ahead to the second season of “Shrinking,” Williams expressed excitement about more scenes with Ford and the opportunity for more car singing moments.
In conclusion, Jessica Williams, an Emmy-nominated actress, revealed that Harrison Ford is not part of the cast’s group chat for their Apple TV series “Shrinking.” Despite this, Williams praised Ford’s sense of humor and expressed her nerves about driving in front of him on set. She also discussed her move from New York to California and her struggles with finding clothes in her size for red carpet events. Overall, Williams is looking forward to future scenes with Ford and the potential for more car singing moments.
