According to Temple, she's not often moved by scenes that she's worked on when she watches them after the fact. This scene, however, was different.
"Even though I'm a part of it, I was actually really moved by it when I watched it, which is quite rare," she said. "I mean, talk about your life being ripped out of your chest in that moment. And a little creature coming in and being like, 'Please let me in,' and Roy being like, 'No, but please,' until he collapses on her. I remember when we showed it, it was a moment that was really intimate, and we cared a lot about that beat because it's a big moment for Roy."
Temple's appreciation for the moment was only enhanced by an article examining its sensitivity and subversion of typical male-female romantic dynamics. "Brett sent me a really amazing article. It was a really insightful and beautiful article about relationships and about the male and female dynamics in a relationship, and about letting people in and the vulnerability of it," she said. "I felt really proud of being a part of what might have inspired this article, because it felt like it was an essay that just was really insightful about relationships. And the fact that scene sort of triggered that thought process, I thought, was really cool."
"Ted Lasso" is currently premiering new episodes Fridays on Apple TV+.
