Jessica Simpson Returns to Acting in Hulu’s “All’s Fair”
Jessica Simpson made her acting comeback after a 15-year hiatus, appearing in Hulu’s new legal drama “All’s Fair,” created by Ryan Murphy. The singer and designer portrays Lee-Anne, a woman seeking legal help from Kim Kardashian’s character, Allura Grant, after a plastic surgery operation goes wrong.
A Striking On-Set Transformation
Simpson showcased a bold new look for the role, involving extensive prosthetics to create exaggerated cheeks, plump lips, and a reshaped nose. She gave fans a behind-the-scenes glimpse on Instagram, revealing the lengthy preparation process.
“I mean, this face.”
“Introducing this ultimate badass with a heart of gold. It took an incredible village (and six hours in prosthetics!) to bring her to life for @hulu’s #AllsFair and wow… what a ride.”
Character Motivation and Storyline
In the third episode, Lee-Anne confesses that her decision to undergo plastic surgery stemmed from personal betrayal.
“We’ve been married almost three years. I knew he had had one affair — probably more. So when he had told me to get plastic surgery, I couldn’t say no.”
Simpson Reflects on Her Acting Return
After years away from acting, Simpson expressed pride and surprise in rediscovering her performance skills.
“I didn’t even know that I could do it,” Simpson told ETonline during the show’s premiere.
