Elisabeth Moss Stuns Jimmy Kimmel With WTF Story About Her 'Handmaid's Tale' Underwear
HuffPost
The actor said she wanted to keep her character's custom underwear as a memento after wrapping the series, only to find out they were spoken for.
“Handmaid’s Tale” star Elisabeth Moss left Jimmy Kimmel in genuine shock earlier this week.
The Emmy winner dropped by “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on Tuesday to promote “Handmaid’s” upcoming final season, but when asked about any mementos she might keep after wrapping the Hulu series for good, Moss shared one particular story that sent Kimmel into tailspin.
“We had an email sent to all of the [executive producers] that was a full list of all the props and costumes that we could take,” Moss said Tuesday. “And in a very mature way, I wrote back ‘dibs’ — and then proceeded to say everything I wanted.”
The actor said she naturally requested to keep her character’s underwear, which had been specifically designed to fit her, only for somebody in the company-wide email exchange to inform everyone that “someone already asked for it.”
“Wait a minute,” said Kimmel, processing her story. “This is your custom underwear that you wore, and some creep on the staff requested it? In writing, requested it? Like, ‘I want Elisabeth’s underpants, I’m gonna take ‘em home, I’m gonna put ‘em in storage for a while.’”
