And anything Julia wants to do, she should do. I kind of knew Julia Roberts was attached. And at the time it wasn’t like, “I wonder if I could play that.” I kind of knew it was being made. And the more we read it, the more I identified with Hannah. My middle child and I read it together, because we love thrillers. GARNER: I read the book before it was a project, just for fun. Well, obviously we have to talk about this. GARNER: I think it did help us jump to a place of intimacy-just the comfort, the ease in each other’s presence and with each other’s bodies that you need to have to play two people who love each other so much.ĬOSTER-WALDAU: Yes, exactly. And I talk about when you were coming to set, we would say, “Daddy’s home.” Then we did some partner yoga, which was a whole thing.ĬOSTER-WALDAU: I know, I’m the least flexible person in the world. Angourie and I were just both besotted in the same way, we just had so much fun having you as the guy for us to adore in common. But you just bring that to anything that you do. And you loom so large over it that we felt like you were there all the time, whether you were or you weren’t. GARNER: You are not in every scene of every episode, sure. In the show we don’t have many scenes together, but they’re so vital. But the great thing was that it just made everything so easy because we got a sense of each other, which was really, really helpful. It could have gone sideways so quickly, that one. GARNER: So that’s what we did, we just went with it.ĬOSTER-WALDAU: Oh, yeah. GARNER: How does one do that with someone? I can’t remember all of it.ĬOSTER-WALDAU: I just remember it was a lot of fun. But we didn’t.ĬOSTER-WALDAU: We sniffed and we did the weird thing with the ball. We could have stopped there as far as I’m concerned. And we both just said, “All right, we are doing it.” And when I felt you go into it with the same spirit that I would naturally bring to it, I knew we were totally fine. And there we were, and she had us stand right up against each other, kind of facing each other, close our eyes and sniff, right? And the moment we sniffed, I knew we were okay because we had the same sense of humor. GARNER: Yes! Well, I’ll say that, I was so dreading this whole thing, and so nervous to meet you this way. I just remember we had to close our eyes and smell. We quickly found out that we have the same sense of humor. And it was actually the best way to meet a person I think I’ve ever had on any project. And then I went to your house to do that and it was the funniest thing. I assumed it was just something for a sex scene or something, right? I thought it was something that you requested. ” And I was like, “Oh, I have no idea what that means.” And I was very excited. And then they tell me, “Tomorrow you’re going to meet Jen, and we are going to have a session.” And I said, “Okay, fantastic.” “And there’s going to be an intimacy coach. I met Josh, the wonderful writer, and Liv, the director. I got into town just the week before we started shooting. GARNER: So the first time we met was here at my house…ĬOSTER-WALDAU: Yes. But we’ll get things revved up, shine her up and put her out there.ĬOSTER-WALDAU: I’m remembering the first time I met you, which was interesting. GARNER: I got home this morning, I was on that crazy early flight from New York and got home feeling a little dazed and confused. Have you been traveling? I thought you were in New York. I’m very excited to watch the show in the cinema. I’m so happy, I’ll see you there.ĬOSTER-WALDAU: You will see me. I’m going to this premiere tonight, it’s this thing happening. We got in yesterday, and now I’m here.ĬOSTER-WALDAU: I’m in L.A. How are you doing?ĬOSTER-WALDAU: I’m good. Before heading off to the show’s premiere at LA’s Bruin Theater, Garner called up Coster-Waldau to reminisce about bonding via partner yoga, their shared love for their TV daughter, and how smelling each other made them better actors. But Garner and Coster-Waldau agree on this project is like nothing they’ve worked on before, starting with their very first meeting-a sensory-rich session with an intimacy coach in Garner’s Brentwood living room. Swap Michael Vartan for the Danish Game of Thrones alum (and shadowy espionage for an independent mother-daughter gumshoe duo investigating his mysterious disappearance), and The Last Thing He Told Me seems fairly similar to her breakout role. The Last Thing He Told Me, Garner and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau’s new series on Apple TV+, is a sleek, emotionally-charged nail-biter, adapted by Reese Witherspoon’s production company Hello Sunshine from Laura Dave’s bestselling novel. Nearly two decades after the final episode of Alias premiered, Jennifer Garner is once again starring in a small screen thriller alongside a dashing, enigmatic leading man.
