I am a huge fan of holiday movies, and I also love rom-coms, but I had never seen my experience represented in those genres. But then once I started, you know, transitioning from acting into writing and directing, it kind of hit me that I could be the person who could tell that story. You know, it's a romantic comedy and you know, it needs to have those like big comedic moments.Man: From where?Abby: I'm really not interested in meeting anyone tonight.Jane: I am.Clea: Harper's family, you know, kind of was born from that. Just like, what is the family that you're gonna go home to in this situation and it's going to just be-Abby: Everyone say Christmas.Tipper: No, don't say that just smile.Clea: The most uncomfortable.Tipper: Blurry, boring. Nope, nope, nope. Okay. None of these will do, we will try again tomorrow.Clea: Came out to my mom on Christmas day, we were in the middle of a fight and it just flew out of my mouth. Me saying something along the line of "You don't know me at all," and then my mom saying, "Yes, I do." And then me saying, "Well, yeah, but did you know so and so is my girlfriend?" And then both of us freezing and being like, oh, oh no, what just happened? And then after what felt like three and a half hours my mother just saying, "No, I didn't know that." And then walking out of the room and then we just never talked about it again. We were able to repair it. So that was like the good news. It was not great until later in life when I got into my twenties.Tipper: What are you doing in the closet?Clea: What was so important to me in this story was to not vilify anyone.Abby: So Sloane and Eric, you guys make gift baskets, right?Sloane: No. We create curated gift experiences inside of handmade reclaimed wood vessels.Clea: 'Cause coming out is not an easy thing to do no matter who you are, no matter where you come from, we all have the opportunity to reach the other side and you know, and still deserve to be loved, and deserve to be accepted and even if the people around us don't always handle it exactly the right way immediately, it doesn't mean that they can't also grow and that they can't also change. Every queer person has gone through it and you know, knows what that feeling is of, you know, not being out. Wherever you are in that process, be nice to yourself. Like you're going through something that is not gonna last forever and you need to love yourself through it. You have an idea like, I wanna come out this holiday season, I'm gonna do it. And if you get there and it doesn't feel like the right thing, that's okay. There's no rush. It's also really important to find outlets in the community, you know, whether it's like friends, or however young people communicate, I don't know, TikTok.Abby: What are you doing on your phone?John: I left a gentleman alone in my apartment so I'm tracking him to make sure he leaves.Abby: You're tracking him?John: Yeah. I track everybody. If the NSA can do it, so can I.Clea: Don't be afraid to reach out. Our community is so amazing and you will inevitably find support even in places you might not expect it.John: Yes I am John, Abby's heterosexual ex-boyfriend, and I have come to get her back.

The service, which specializes in reality television, is available in most European countries, as well as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and more.

VPNs temporarily change the location of your electronic device so that you can bypass geo-blocks and access websites and apps that might not be available in the region where you're currently located. This option will be best for Americans who are traveling abroad and simply don't have access to their existing streaming subscriptions at the moment, since all of the services we've recommended require a US form of payment.Not sure where to start when it comes to VPNs?

She later <a href="https://variety.com/2023/tv/awards/padma-lakshmi-why-leave-top-chef-interview-1235702482/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told Variety</a> that working on multiple shows in an on-screen and production capacity was "exhausting and untenable" but that she left the series "at a very high point, in very capable hands."<h2>Who is Kristen Kish?</h2>New host Kristen Kish will be a familiar face for "Top Chef" devotees. Kish won "Top Chef" Season 10 and has since developed quite a substantial online following. Kish was the chef at two Boston restaurants, Stir and Menton. Since then, she has opened her own restaurant, Arlo Grey, in Austin, Texas. <h2>What time is Top Chef on Peacock?</h2>In the past, "Top Chef" and other Bravo shows have usually been available on Peacock by the following morning (about 6 a.m. ET). However, the Season 21 premiere didn't land on the streaming service until around 1 p.m. ET on Thursday, so if you don't see the new episode when you check first thing in the morning, you might just need to wait a little bit. <h2>How many episodes?</h2>Season 21 will consist of 14 episodes. The season finale is expected to air on Wednesday, June 19. This is a pretty standard season length for Top Chef. The past four seasons also had 14 episodes. Throughout the series' entire run, every season has been 12 to 18 episodes. <h2>Top Chef spin-offs</h2>"Top Chef" spin-offs started premiering in 2009 with "Top Chef Masters," which featured established chefs competing against each other. The show lasted for five seasons. Additional "Top Chef" spin-offs include "Top Chef: Just Desserts," "Top Chef VIP," and "Top Chef Jr.," among many others. Several of the spin-offs are available to stream on Peacock. Among the many "Top Chef"-adjacent Peacock offerings is "Top Chef: The Dish with Kish." The series, which features installments that run about 13-15 minutes long, releases new episodes on Thursdays around the same time "Top Chef" lands on the streaming service. The show follows Kristen Kish as she hosts guest chefs who cook dishes that are inspired by challenges.Note: The use of VPNs is illegal in certain countries, and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content might constitute a breach of the terms of use for certain services. Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.

Where to watch Top Chef live stream: Season 21 is almost over

If Elisabeth Moss shows up onscreen, you know you're about to go through the emotional wringer.For fans of "<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/handmaids-tale-based-on-real-world-origins-history-events-2019-8">The Handmaid's Tale</a>," "Top of the Lake," or "Shining Girls," a close-up shot of Moss' face — the expression in her eyes typically an affecting mix of fear, pain, and defiance — is synonymous with prestige television. One of Moss' signature loaded glances can communicate years' worth of a character's complex trauma (and secure a steady stream of awards nominations in the process).The 41-year-old actor has had decades of practice in professionally pretending to be traumatized. One of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.emmys.com/news/features/imagine">her first acting gigs</a> in an NBC miniseries required her to scream upon discovering her mother, played by Sandra Bullock, dead and bloodied in a pool — not that a then-seven-year-old Moss was at all spooked by the experience."It was fun," a chipper Moss tells Business Insider. "I knew it was a job. I knew it was acting."That ethos is a key part of how Moss stays sane while taking on an endless array of emotionally taxing roles, from a woman fighting off her abusive ex in "<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/what-is-invisible-man-about-2020-3">The Invisible Man</a>" to the tortured title character in the fictionalized horror biopic "<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elisabeth-moss-talks-shirley-and-hopes-for-invisible-man-sequel-2020-6">Shirley.</a>""I just kind of looked at it the same way that I do now," Moss continues. "I don't get confused as to what's real and not real."<div type="image" title="Elisabeth Moss as Imogen Salter in &quot;The Veil&quot;" height="1920" width="3840" msid="110510947" hostid="261" sizebytes="185430"></div>Her latest role on the FX spy thriller "The Veil" has all the hallmarks of a typical Moss project, from the prestige network to the dark and twisty plot. Moss smolders with intensity as Imogen Salter, a skilled MI6 agent who forms a relationship with a suspected ISIS terrorist (Yumna Marwan) that turns into a complicated and deadly game of deception.While the tense, slow-burn drama offers plenty of the emotional complexity that's squarely in Moss' wheelhouse, it also provides her the chance to do something new — the series' fight scenes mark one of the first times viewers can witness her kicking ass (or doing a British accent, for that matter)."I found the whole show to be really fun," she says, "even though, of course, there's a backstory and there's deeper issues there, and there's drama and all of that."She starts again, correcting herself: "It has a bit more of a fun, playful tone than some of the work that I usually do."It's all relative, after all.In the latest installment of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/category/role-play-series">Business Insider's Role Play series,</a> Moss goes deep on her tortured characters, hating rain machines, and why she's excited to be a new mom while filming the final season of "The Handmaid's Tale."<h2>On being mentored by Winona Ryder and 'intimidated' by Angelina Jolie on 'Girl, Interrupted'</h2><div type="image" title="Elisabeth Moss with burn scars on her face holding a cat in &quot;Girl, Interrupted.&quot;" height="678" width="1128" msid="110510950" hostid="261" sizebytes="26130"></div>You started acting pretty young, so "Girl, Interrupted" was far from your first role. But the cast was full of megastars — Winona Ryder, Angelina Jolie, Brittany Murphy. What did you learn from watching them work?I was just so in awe of everybody. I was the youngest by a good amount. Everybody was so much cooler and amazing and more impressive than I was, and I just was so excited to be there.Everyone had their own personality. Winona was super, super kind to me and really took me under her wing. I didn't know Angie as well. I got to know her later a little bit, many, many years later. And, of course, she's a lovely, beautiful, kind individual, but at the time, I was just very intimidated and overwhelmed by how amazing she was.Brittany was just the sweetest. And now I've worked with Clea [DuVall], I've directed Clea now on "Handmaid's," which is really fun all these years later.Everyone was just really good at what they did. There wasn't any ego. It was all women, and everyone was good to each other and worked hard. I wouldn't have expected anything else, but that's my memory of it, which I think is wonderful — especially with so many different kinds of people and different personalities.How has growing up working as a child actor informed how you view yourself and your career now?I feel a special kinship with young actresses because that's where I came from. If they want help or advice, I'm happy to give it, but I also just respect them and I understand what it's like, and I expect the most and the best of them because I know that they're capable of it.Whether it's Maddie Brewer or <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mckenna-grace-interview-ghostbusters-afterlife-sequel-music-2023-5">Mckenna Grace</a> or Sydney Sweeney, I've come across these women in my career. And the older I get, of course, the more they're younger than me, and I love it. I love having that experience with young actresses.People always ask you about your affinity for playing tortured characters and characters that go through trauma — you were doing that even as far back as "Girl, Interrupted." But what does draw you to these roles? I still don't think I've seen you do a rom-com.I know, I haven't! I don't know. I really need to think about an answer to this question and really formulate an intelligent, interesting answer because my answer is very much always just like, "I don't really know why." I just suppose I find, as an actor, that to be the most interesting material to play, and not even necessarily as a viewer.I love comedy and romantic comedy. I'm super late to the game, but I just started watching "Hacks," and that's my wheelhouse. I love that kind of show. If a show gets too serious, sometimes I'm totally not into it. But as an actor, it's what I find interesting, and it's what flexes my muscles, and it's what I like to play.It's your wheelhouse. It's the thing you're probably most familiar with.Yeah. I don't know. Why do certain people like playing certain kinds of music? They just like it.My counterpoint would be that playing a rom-com lead is deceptively difficult, but these are all different skill sets. Have you ever wanted to do that, or do you prefer to watch those things and not be in them?No, I'd love to. I think they're very difficult. I think finding a good script is very difficult as well. Obviously, totally doable still, but I don't think it's necessarily a walk in the park by any means, and I don't think everyone can do it.<h2>On the hardest scene she's ever filmed and the end of 'The Handmaid's Tale'</h2><div type="image" title="the handmaid's tale" height="1400" width="2004" msid="110510953" hostid="261" sizebytes="39188"></div>In your long career of filming many hard scenes, what was the hardest scene for you to shoot, physically or emotionally?The hardest one I ever did — there have been some really, really close runners-up — but it was a scene on "Handmaid's." I don't know what fucking season, but there was a scene where June is outside, and I don't even know why she wanted to step outside, and she's in her underwear, basically, and she's bleeding out, and Nick comes and finds her, and it's raining, and she's laying in the mud.And the plain, cold truth of it is, it just was absolutely fucking freezing. And I was laying in the mud, barely wearing anything in a rain machine, and that was definitely physically a tough one.I always seem to wind up in the rain somehow. There's a lot of rain.You're going back to film the final season soon, right?Yeah. This summer.Do you think it will be weird to return to a show like that <a target="_blank" href="https://people.com/elisabeth-moss-pregnant-with-her-first-baby-8553517">as a new mom</a>? It sounds like you're good at separating acting and your real life, though.Oh, I think it'll be lovely. I think it'll be a whole new added perspective to life. I'm sure I'll be bringing that to June and to the show.I guess time will tell, but of course, I'm sure it's going to affect all parts of my life. But we're used to having lots of babies and lots of moms and dads on set, and we're a very baby and kid-friendly set. So I don't think it's going to be a huge adjustment for us.Is it safe to say you know how the series ends?Yes.How do you feel about the ending?I don't even know how to not say anything about it. I've known for a while how it was going to end, so I don't think I can say anything. I'm too scared to say the wrong thing accidentally.I'm too nervous. I don't have my patter down. I'm not ready yet.You don't have your one tease line ready.Exactly. This show's like my other baby.I can say this: I think this whole season is absolutely for the fans. It's definitely for our audience. It's definitely for the people that have stuck with us for five seasons, and we're kind of making this one for them.<h2>On being tired of midcentury modern decor after 'Mad Men' and saying goodbye to her characters</h2><div type="image" title="Peggy Mad Men" height="2400" width="3600" msid="110510955" hostid="261" sizebytes="221618"></div>Speaking of finales, it's been almost 10 years since <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elisabeth-moss-jon-hamm-mad-men-made-her-cry-2022-11">the end of "Mad Men."</a> Is there anything that, with time, you view differently about the show, your character, or your experience working on it?That's a good question. I think with any sort of objectivity or any perspective, you just cherish the experience more and more, hopefully. And I think when we finished, it was time to finish, and we felt good about that.I think it's pretty great that after 10 years, you look back, and your memories haven't soured — you don't go, "Oh, you know what? Actually, that kind of sucked." It's actually pretty amazing to be able to look back after a decade and go, "Yeah, that was pretty special."I feel more grateful as time goes on, I think, for that experience. Granted, it feels like 30 years ago.Is there anything that transports you right back to set? Are you like, "I don't want to put any midcentury modern furniture in my home. I saw enough of it for years."Definitely! Not like I don't like midcentury modern, it's just that I can't not think of the show.There's nothing in my apartment that's midcentury. I love it when I go to somebody else's home or somebody else's apartment, I admire it and I'm like, "Look how beautiful that is." But I personally can't have it in my home because I can't not think about sets and "Mad Men."Are there any roles you've regretted turning down?I don't think I've ever turned anything down that I was really regretful of.I almost didn't do "Handmaid's," but thank God I did end up saying yes. I just came off nine years on "Mad Men," and I was shooting the second season of "Top of the Lake." I was like, "God, I really wasn't planning on doing another TV show so quickly."But then the idea that anybody else was going to do the show — that killed me. And I was like, "Nope, I'm going to do it." I could not stand the idea of anyone else playing that role.<div type="image" title="Elisabeth Moss stands straight ahead holding gun." height="744" width="1240" msid="110510957" hostid="261" sizebytes="33440"></div>You have so many iconic characters. Are there any that you would never return to?I just don't think you can ever say never. Most of them, I would probably love the chance to play again. That's really the saddest part of anything ending is you don't get to play the character again.It always just feels like there's more to do. I want to do more of "The Veil." I would love to do more "Top of the Lake." I never feel like it's done.

Throughout the series, there are numerous appearances from celebrity guest stars including Adrien Brody, Chloë Sevigny, Stephanie Hsu, Jameela Jamil, Ron Perlman, Clea DuVall, and, of course, Joseph Gordon-Levitt.In a junket interview ahead of the series premiere, the series' showrunners Nora Zuckerman and Lilla Zuckerman told Insider that many of these stars "raised their hand" to be in the series."We were very fortunate that so many people raised their hand and said, 'Deal me in,'" Lilla said. "I think everybody wants to work with Rian, everybody wants to work with Natasha. We got incredibly lucky with the sheer amount of talent."Lilla also said that the anthology series itself drew actors in since it would mean they wouldn't have to commit to the show for years.<div type="image" title="Natasha Lyonne wearing sunglasses" height="900" width="1200" msid="97355560" hostid="261"></div>"I think also another big draw was, 'Hey, you wanna come be on a television show for one week or two weeks and you can play like a diabolical murderer, or you can play the victim of some gruesome crime, or you can play the sidekick to Charlie Cale and vibe with Natasha Lyonne?' I think that we were able to offer them a chance to play against type and do something a little outside the box."Nora added that the lineup is "mindblowing.""We feel really lucky that we assembled the cast that we did, and our casting people are amazing," she said. "It's really unusual for a show to move this much cast through episode to episode. So it was no easy job, but it all came together.""Poker Face" is the second murder-mystery project Johnson has taken on since his <a href="https://www.insider.com/knives-out-fun-facts-easter-eggs-rian-johnson-2020-3">highly successful "Knives Out" movies</a>. Lilla told Insider that she welcomes fan comparisons between the new Peacock series and Johnson's two <a href="https://www.insider.com/glass-onion-a-knives-out-mystery-details-you-missed-2022-11">whodunit films</a>. "I really hope that everybody dips a toe into 'Poker Face' because they're 'Knives Out' fans," Lilla said. "If you are a fan of 'Knives Out,' if you're a fan of 'Glass Onion,' I think you're gonna love 'Poker Face.'"She added: "Because we are a how-to-catch-'em instead of a whodunit, they're gonna find something fresh with us, but they're gonna still enjoy all of <a href="https://www.insider.com/knives-out-2-cast-breakdown-where-you-recognize-them-from-2022-4">the wacky characters</a>, all of the loopy humor and all of these <a href="https://www.insider.com/glass-onion-a-knives-out-mystery-ending-explained-2022-11">intricate crimes that are being committed."</a>"Poker Face" is now streaming on Peacock.

"And it's like, 'God, I'm 21 years old.'"In "Happiest Season," Stewart, who identifies as bisexual, and Mackenzie Davis play a gay couple, who come at odds when it's revealed one of them hasn't come out to their parents. It hits theaters November 25.Stewart told DuVall it was her own coming out experience that drew her to the project.<div type="image" title="Happiest Season Sony" height="1079" width="1438" msid="78544192" hostid="261"></div>"I felt like maybe there were things that have hurt people I've been with," Stewart continued. "Not because I felt ashamed of being openly gay, but because I didn't like giving myself to the public, in a way. It felt like such thievery. This was a period of time when I was sort of cagey."Stewart has always been private about the relationships she's been in — from Robert Pattinson to singer Soko. And she told DuVall that was the challenge when she was younger in regards to the pressure of speaking out for the LGBTQIA+ community."Only now can I see it," she said. "Retrospectively, I can tell you I have experience with this story. But back then I would have been like, 'No, I'm fine. My parents are fine with it. Everything's fine.' That's bull----. It's been hard. It's been weird. It's that way for everyone."Stewart admitted to feeling an expectation to be a spokesperson for the gay community, when asked."I did more when I was younger, when I was being hounded about labeling myself," Stewart answered. "I had no reticence about displaying who I was. I was going out every day knowing I'd be photographed while I was being affectionate with my girlfriend, but I didn't want to talk about it.""I did feel an enormous pressure, but it wasn't put on me by the [LGBTQIA+] community. People were seeing those pictures and reading these articles and going, 'Oh, well, I need to be shown.' I was a kid, and I felt personally affronted. Now I relish it. I love the idea that anything I do with ease rubs off on somebody who is struggling. That s---'s dope! When I see a little kid clearly feeling themselves in a way that they wouldn't have when I grew up, it makes me skip."

There's just one problem: Harper is not out to her family. The pair come up with a plan to pretend Abby is Harper's straight, orphan roommate who has nowhere else to go for the holidays.<a href="https://twitter.com/Evie_tweeting/status/1332792510624784388">Many Twitter users</a> were <a href="https://twitter.com/littlescribbs/status/1333230340933029889">not pleased</a> that one of the first mainstream queer rom-coms <a href="https://twitter.com/jpeytonfrank/status/1332700913262358529">centers the storyline on coming out</a> rather than queer <keyword id="7557" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="60" keywordseo="Love">love</keyword>. Some also found it <a href="https://twitter.com/drunkoncatra/status/1332194079032139777">unrealistic</a> that Harper would be in her early 30s and not out. But coming out isn't easy for many people, regardless of age, according to New York City-based therapist Dr. Melissa Robinson-Brown."If someone is afraid of being rejected by their family, this will undoubtedly force them into silence and hiding. Not to mention, if their support systems outside of the family are also rocky, it would mean isolation if you are being rejected both within and outside of your family," Robin-Brown told Insider. This is very scary for people. "<h2>There is no universal 'perfect time' to come out</h2>Robinson-Brown told Insider that there really is no "perfect time" to come out. While many coming out stories depict high schoolers, queer people of all ages make the decision to come out. A person's family situation and ability to come out safely can make a difference."I would say that whenever you decide to come out, make sure you have support. Reactions and responses can be varied," Robinson-Brown said. "Make sure you have someone in your corner who has your back and will be there to help you remember that you are still an amazing ass person regardless of what anyone says."<h2>Many people don't come out because of the fear they will be kicked out or rejected by family</h2>For some, coming out as queer or trans is met with loving family support. It isn't as simple for others. <a href="https://lesley.edu/article/the-cost-of-coming-out-lgbt-youth-homelessness">According to the True Colors Fund</a>, 40% of the US homeless youth population is made up of <keyword id="729067" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="LGBTQ">LGBTQ</keyword> people. A study conducted by <a href="https://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/publications/serving-our-youth-lgbtq/">the Williams Institute at UCLA</a> found 46% of homeless LGBTQ youth ran away from home because of unsupportive families and 43% were kicked out. The pandemic has <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/29/well/family/LGBTQ-youth-teenagers-pandemic-coronavirus.html">made LGBTQ youth more anxious, depressed</a>, and disconnected from their community, as many queer kids have been forced to stay in unsupportive households. <a href="https://medicine.yale.edu/news-article/20510/">A study by the Yale School of Medicine</a> found 83% of the world's LGBTQ population remains in the closet in part due to these barriers. While some people may feel the community is "beyond coming out stories" many people remain in the closet into adulthood out of fear of losing their entire family. "Everybody's story is different," John, Abby's gay best friend, told her after recalling being kicked out by his dad. <h2>Some people found Harper's coming out story to be deeply relatable — and important to see on screen</h2>Many Twitter users thought that while some of Harper's actions in the film might have been mean or unfair, they were deeply influenced by her coming out.Because Harper was so scared of what her parents would think, she lies to Abby. The act of hiding her true self and doing hurtful things to hide herself in the process rang true for many viewers' own coming out stories.
