Brooke Shields has one episode of Friends to thank for "changing everything" in her career.The model and actress, 61, opened up on the Monday, June 1 episode of The Bosstickspodcast about the unexpected impact of her guest role in the beloved sitcom's 1996 episode, "The One After the Superbowl" [sic].
In the post-Super Bowl XXX episode of the NBC sitcom, Shields appeared alongside fellow guest stars Chris Isaak, Julia Roberts, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Fred Willard, and Dan Castellaneta, playing a stalker who believed Joey (Matt LeBlanc) was actually the character he played on television.
Shields noted in Monday's podcast that she was "able to hold [her] own" in the "comedy gold" that was the episode alongside "the Julia Roberts of the world and people who were huge movie stars."
She even nailed one of the biggest laughs in the script, in which her character licks Joey's fingers—a moment that was nearly cut from the episode.
"At first, they didn't let me do it, and they said it makes me too crazy. And I said, 'I have to do it, please,'" the When Calls the Heartactress recalled. "At the last minute, we did one pass without it, and then the showrunner said, 'Hey, Shields, put it back in,' and that moment was just a very crazy moment for this character. She was just crazy."
It was that moment that Shields credits with changing her career trajectory forever, setting her up for her own series, Suddenly Susan, which premiered later that same year and ran through 2000.
"That sort of shock of seeing someone that had been sort of considered a supermodel kind of a thing and pristine and untouchable, and all of a sudden she's licking a guy's fingers, she's laughing like a crazy person, and they were like, 'Oh my god, what what is this? Like we haven't seen the likes of this,'" Shields said. "And it just changed everything. It got me my own television show, and it allowed me to really kind of delve in with comedy chops."
