When speaking to Cosmopolitan, Temple talked about her favorite memory shooting in the third season of Ted Lasso. “I treasure every moment I get to work with Hannah Waddingham, who plays Rebecca,” Temple said. “I think she’s such a special woman. I’m so inspired by her and I love being around her. And some of the memories, too, that I love so much are actually when I would go and hang out in her dressing room…you know, get to hang out with one of my favorite humans in the world.”

Temple also talked about her big character arc in Season 3. “We get the scripts as we go along, so you can’t be thinking too far ahead in the future,” she explained. “You’ve got to really exist in what’s going on right then and there. Like real life. As long as you play each moment like you are living it for real and going along with your character’s trajectory and always remembering who your character is and where they come from, that’s what you always have to remember.”
