Ted Lasso’s Brendan Hunt Said A Two Aces Scene Was The Hardest To Film – Looper

During an AMA on Reddit, a “Ted Lasso” fan provided some analysis that may have impressed even Trent Crimm from The Independent. The scene in question — in Season 1, Episode 6 “Two Aces” — involved Ted threatening to throw one of his son’s classic temper tantrums to explain why the players were all uneasy. Writing to Brendan Hunt, u/f0ldinthecheese asked, “Are you on the verge of breaking just before saying ‘pee pee fingers’? I see a ghost of a smile, and I live for people breaking character!” As with all AMAs, a pearl was revealed by Hunt, who confessed to the crime.

“Well spotted! This was the hardest scene to do in the entire season. We were all f***ing dying the entire time,” recalled Hunt. However, hindsight is a heck of a thing — Hunt posited that it could have been due to the scene’s unique union of cast members involved that brought the giggles. He added, “Maybe because it was the first time that it was just those five dudes in one room? Or maybe we’re just shamefully unprofessional? BOTH!?!!” For the most part, though, Hunt is a hero with his role of Beard, who only started to speak up a bit more in Season 2 when it really mattered. Every word seems to have been carefully chosen, with Hunt seemingly making a conscious effort to keep Beard the solid and silent type we are slightly confused by.
