"And you were leaving, and I said, 'Oh, I love you.' I think you said, 'I love you too.' I remember saying, 'Really?' But more than that, as you were leaving, I said, 'I love your breasts.' Do you remember that?"Chastain said she didn't hear this comment before adding: "I must have thought you said, 'I love your dress.'"Chastain wasn't the only one surprised by Moreno's comment. Moreno said: "I remember my friend, who is gay, said to me: 'I can't believe you said that.'

The longest transformation took 7 1/2 hours, Chastain recalled. She showed up to set "panicky" and had "hot flashes" as a result of the "heavy and hot" makeup coating her body. By the time the cameras started rolling, she had "no energy left.""It was like going on a long-distance flight every day. Because if it takes 7 ½ hours to put on, it's going to take at least two hours to get off. It was concerning to me. I was worried about my circulation," she said. When Chastain removed the prosthetics and makeup, she said she looked "50 years old.""No, I'm kidding," she said, adding, "But it's fine. It's for my art.""The Eyes of Tammy Faye" premieres in theaters on September 17.

"The Eyes of Tammy Faye" (directed by Michael Showalter of "<a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/amzn1.dv.gti.94aff08b-34af-9142-329a-08e800188e2e" rel="nofollow sponsored">The Big Sick</a>" fame) follows Bakker from her humble beginnings as a child fascinated with religion, then moves along as she falls for young Jim Bakker (Andrew Garfield) at a bible college in Minnesota.

Chastain's acting is top-notch, once more in her career playing a woman who is looking to be taken seriously in a man's world (which she's done in the past in movies like "<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/reviews/out?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hulu.com%2Fmovie%2Fzero-dark-thirty-457896f2-7461-4cce-82e7-ab292709ce78" rel="nofollow sponsored">Zero Dark Thirty</a>," "<a href="https://www.netflix.com/title/80125395">Miss Sloane</a>," and "<a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/amzn1.dv.gti.beb0ef65-852a-7446-349e-3b86d927a27d" rel="nofollow sponsored">Molly's Game</a>").You can't help but root for Tammy Faye, especially at the lowest point, having broken up with Jim and completely broke, going out and auditioning for TV work.

As well as movies, Chastain recently starred in a Broadway revival of "A Doll's House," which <a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/a-dolls-house-jessica-chastain-review" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vogue</a> described as a "starkly minimal" take on the 1879 play, while noting that Chastain gave an "epic performance" as struggling housewife Nora Helmer.Unfortunately, marital woes weren't the only thing Chastain grappled with on stage, describing how she vomited in her mouth right before a kissing scene."I can say it now, 'cause we're closed. This is really gross, what I'm gonna tell you guys. I threw up," she said on an upcoming episode of <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jessica-chastain/id1521578868?i=1000623106597" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the "SmartLess" podcast</a> (via <a href="https://ew.com/celebrity/jessica-chastain-threw-up-in-her-mouth-and-kissed-a-costar-during-a-dolls-house/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Entertainment Weekly</a>). "I threw up and I swallowed it. And no one knew."Chastain said she wasn't sure if nerves were to blame for her upset stomach, but, "I was kinda, like, sobbing and I leaned over and it happened."Unfortunately, because she was on stage, the actor couldn't warn her costar about what had happened before their kiss."I had to kiss someone! Yes! It was a nightmare and I couldn't explain," Chastain said, adding that it was "definitely a closed-mouth kiss."Chastain went on to say that she came clean about what happened to the rest of the cast after the performance had finished."The second we had the curtain call and the curtain came down, I said, 'You guys, I'm so sorry, I vomited,'" she said.

"The Director's Chair" is a series highlighting those at the helm of the biggest projects in TV and movies.Michael Showalter kept acting long after he realized he didn't want to do it anymore — mostly because he needed to eat.Born to two professors, one of whom is a <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/ecshowalter">feminist literary critic</a>, the New Jersey native has had one of the more unique career trajectories among filmmakers. Showalter got his start in college doing sketch comedy as a member of The State (formerly The New Group). He was joined by other future comedy stars like Michael Ian Black, Joe Lo Truglio, Thomas Lennon, and Ken Marino — many of whom went on to become Showalter's frequent collaborators.The troupe eventually landed its own MTV sketch comedy series, "The State," which aired from 1993 to 1995. A couple of years, a few TV roles, and pulling double duty writing and starring in two feature films later, Showalter realized that he'd inadvertently fallen into a career that didn't have his heart.He wasn't getting cast — except in things he wrote himself like"The Baxter" and his cult hit "Wet Hot American Summer" — but he also wasn't fretting about the lack of acting work. At least until it came time to pay his bills."I knew how I felt for a long time before I stopped doing it," Showalter tells Business Insider. "But I was continuing to make an effort to still get work as an actor entirely because I needed the money."Fast forward roughly two decades and Showalter has found himself right where he was always meant to be.In the last 10 years, he's directed a trio of critically acclaimed films, starting with 2015's "Hello, My Name is Doris," starring Sally Field as a woman in her 60s who becomes infatuated with her much younger coworker.That was followed in 2017 by "The Big Sick," starring <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/eternals-kumail-nanjiani-martin-scorsese-criticize-marvel-2023-1">Kumail Nanjiani </a>and Zoe Kazan as an interracial couple suddenly faced with a challenge early in their relationship. The Oscar-nominated screenplay by Nanjiani and his wife is based on their actual love story. And in 2021, he directed Jessica Chastain to her first Oscar for playing the titular televangelist in the biographical drama <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/jessica-chastain-transformation-tammy-faye-bakker-makeup-skin-damage-makeup-2021-8">"The Eyes of Tammy Faye."</a>The year after, he executive produced and directed several episodes of the Hulu series "The Dropout," about disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes. Showalter scored a directing Emmy nomination for one of his episodes and lead Amanda Seyfried won both an <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/emmys-nominees-winners-list-2022-7">Emmy</a> and a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/golden-globes-2023-who-will-win-who-should-win-2023-1">Golden Globe</a> for her performance as Holmes.Now, Showalter is among the most booked and busy directors, with an Amazon Christmas movie, a serial killer drama, and a half-hour comedy series about an immigrant family all in development. (But who's counting?)Next up is the new Amazon romantic dramedy<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/the-idea-of-you-movie-ending-book-differences-explained-2024-5"> "The Idea of You,"</a> which he cowrote with Jennifer Westfeldt, based on Robinne Lee's hit book of the same name. Starring <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/anne-hathaway-idea-of-you-female-sexuality-2024-3">Anne Hathaway</a> as a 40-year-old single mom in a steamy May-December romance with a 24-year-old boy-bander, the film is poised to be a big hit for the streamer if its <a target="_blank" href="https://deadline.com/2024/03/anne-hathaway-the-idea-of-you-trailer-record-sxsw-1235860352/">record-breaking trailer</a> is any indication.In an interview ahead of its release, Showalter spoke with BI about his gradual career pivot, the moment he knew acting wasn't for him, and what was behind his decision to change the book's original ending.<div type="image" title="Reid Scott, Ella Rubin, Nicholas Galitzine, Anne Hathaway, Claudette Godfrey, and Michael Showalter on red carpet" height="683" width="1024" msid="109841053" hostid="261" sizebytes="84370"></div>You've jokingly described yourself as a failed actor. Obviously, in recent years, you've moved entirely away from acting to being behind the camera. What prompted that switch?You are not going to succeed at something that deep down you don't love and that you don't have to do. Candidly, I never really imagined that I could be a filmmaker. It's weird. It never really occurred to me.When I went to college, I liked doing sketch comedy. I liked performing and it felt right. But as I grew older, it was a combination of I wasn't getting cast in things, but I also wasn't really needing to get cast in things.In my free time, I noticed my actor friends who were doing really well were taking classes, having coaches help them with their auditions. It's what got them out of bed in the morning. I never felt that way. I never had those feelings…It's not to say that I would never do it again. I would never make a big proclamation about it or anything like that. But there's no part of me that's making my movies being like, man, I really wish I could be in this one. I never think about it twice.And to be honest, I'm a somewhat private person too, and I don't particularly enjoy some of the attention that comes with acting.Is there any one moment where you realized acting wasn't what you loved doing?There were two moments: I was in an off-Broadway play called "The Alchemist," which is a really old play from the 17th century. And I fell out of character in the play, which essentially is an actor's nightmare because it's like the thing that makes you able to act goes away.It would be like if you were a tennis player and all of a sudden, in the middle of a match, you forgot how to hit the ball or something like that and that really kind of freaked me out.Then not long after that, I saw a production of "Ivanov." There were such good performances; the one that stands out is Kevin Kline, but it was a big cast and there were a lot of people in it. And I just was so enjoying watching it. I loved just watching it.No part of me was thinking, man, I wish I was in this play. Or if I were playing so-and-so's part, this is how I would do it. And I did have the thought, I don't think this is how I should be feeling if I'm really an actor.<div type="image" title="Michael Showalter at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood, California in 2004." height="1024" width="704" msid="109841054" hostid="261" sizebytes="33890"></div>"The Idea of You" is full of comedy, romance, drama, and heart. I was really into the change to the book's ending. Did you know from the start that you wanted to change the ending, or did that evolve during the process?It evolved. There was never like a, "We are definitely going to change the ending" conversation. I think it was more…we want to have a great ending.Obviously, because it's a mainstream Hollywood movie that we want lots of people to see and enjoy, you always have to consider do we want to have the kind of more "up" ending. And there are quite a few examples where a filmmaker had the less "up" ending and then they always have to reshoot it to have an "up" ending because the audiences just demand it.There is that moment where the movie feels like it's over. And we did discuss, gee, what if we ended the movie right here? That would be kind of interesting. But ultimately, I think we just felt like as fans of this genre — because even though this isn't exactly a romantic comedy, it's more of a romantic dramedy — I think you'd like to feel like you leave the experience of watching the movie with a sense of hope and optimism.<div type="image" title="Nicholas Galitzine as Hayes and Anne Hathaway as Solène in &quot;The Idea of You.&quot;" height="2000" width="3000" msid="109841055" hostid="261" sizebytes="129056"></div>Anne Hathaway is always amazing, but the chemistry between her and Nicholas Galitzine is just phenomenal. I know she was always attached to play Solène, but what was the moment you knew her co-lead had to be Nicholas?For me, it was actually when I met him the night before. I wanted to meet all the guys that we were having these chemistry tests with and have a chance to talk to them just the two of us, get to know them a little bit.So the night before Nick came in and read, I had a Zoom call with him. And I was like, oh, it's this guy, isn't it? I was texting with Cathy Schulman, the producer, as I was having this Zoom with Nick, sort of going, oh boy, I think this is the guy.There were some other folks that we had met with that I feel like we were also quite excited about, but when I met Nick, there was something extra. He's confident but also vulnerable. He's funny. He's obviously great looking. He can do the dramatic acting. He's an incredible musician. He's believable as a star, but there's a humility and a real-person quality to him.It's like he checked every box and then came in the next day and had his audition with Anne and just crushed it.Who were some of the other frontrunners for Hayes?I'm not going to say just because I don't want to, but a bunch of great guys.But my joke that I would say to the Amazon executives was that I knew that they wanted me to throw my hat in the ring to play the role but that I really didn't want to be distracted and I didn't want to wear two hats, that it was really important to me that I'd just be the director on this one, and that I knew that everyone would be disappointed that I wasn't going to play the part, but that I just wasn't willing to do it because it would be too much……I mean, yeah, learning all that boy band choreography and stuff.It would compromise the directing if I played the role as well.[Laughs] Yeah, I can imagine.I don't understand why you're laughing.No, I totally want to see that version too.Yeah. We'll do that. One day, I'll try to convince Anne to let me reshoot the movie with me playing Hayes.Once many years ago, when I was still a failed actor, I auditioned for a musical. I can't remember what the musical was. It may even have been for Bernie Telsey, who's the casting director of "The Idea of You."I was in my 20s and I sang "Maria" from "West Side Story" as my audition. And everybody in the room started laughing, and I wasn't meaning to be funny. So I imagine that the same kind of thing might occur.<div type="image" title="Wet Hot American Summer" height="1038" width="1920" msid="109841056" hostid="261" sizebytes="91020"></div>Speaking of you performing again one day, obviously, you've come back to acting for the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/wet-hot-american-summer-went-from-flop-to-cult-classic-2015-7">"Wet Hot American Summer"</a> prequel and sequel.

That's a record for a Black artist and also makes him the most-awarded host in Emmys history."The show just keeps growing," Barbato told Insider on a Zoom call from Los Angeles. "Everyone can relate to the feeling of being an outsider. Drag is ultimately a universally relatable thing," Bailey said of the popularity of "Drag Race" and the stars it has helped create."Drag Race" has an average weekly audience of more than 600,000 in the US, and millions more around the world. <div type="image" title="RuPaul won another Emmy for Outstanding Host for a Reality or Competition Program at the Creative Arts Emmys in Los Angeles on at Microsoft Theater on Saturday." height="2666" width="3555" msid="93981372" hostid="261"></div>Bailey, who's originally from Portsmouth in the UK, and Barbato, from New Jersey, have worked with RuPaul since the 1980s after meeting him on the New York club scene.The duo run <a href="https://www.worldofwonder.com/">World of Wonder</a>, the production company behind the reality competition that has spawned an ever-growing number of editions in countries from Canada to the Philippines, along with the spinoffs "<a href="https://affiliate.insider.com?h=5deaa517e9c3d6add6335c43cf5baf12eb2739331692c750ffca952225d1ad52&amp;postID=630b5b78186a0b2b0a2c11d2&amp;postSlug=meet-the-2-men-helping-power-rupauls-astronomical-success-2022-8&amp;site=bi&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.paramountplus.com%2Fshows%2Frupauls-drag-race-all-stars" rel="nofollow sponsored">All Stars</a>" and "<a href="https://affiliate.insider.com?h=fe2324388679bc57e5d06402adc7be94f9c98137b28017a6c9b51b3cd65c5e19&amp;postID=630b5b78186a0b2b0a2c11d2&amp;postSlug=meet-the-2-men-helping-power-rupauls-astronomical-success-2022-8&amp;site=bi&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.paramountplus.com%2Fshows%2Funtucked-rupauls-drag-race%2F" rel="nofollow sponsored">Untucked</a>."Bailey and Barbato aren't strangers to performing themselves. While attending New York University's film school together in the '80s, they formed a disco-pop duo called the Fabulous Pop Tarts. They recorded two albums featuring guest stars like Lady Miss Kier, the singer for Deee-Lite, the band behind the infectious '90s classic "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etviGf1uWlg">Groove Is in the Heart</a>" — and an artist called RuPaul, who's gone on to become the world's most famous drag queen with their help.Bailey and Barbato produced Ru's first solo album in 1986 and became his manager. In 1991, they set up World of Wonder, borrowing its name from the title of a 1970s British educational magazine for children that Bailey once read. That year, they also made their first TV show, a compilation program called "<a href="https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20200519-the-youtube-of-the-1980s">Manhattan Cable</a>." RuPaul was featured on the show, which Barbato once described as "YouTube before YouTube."RuPaul's first real taste of success came in 1993, when his song <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nTl4Rmf6AI">"Supermodel (You Better Work)"</a> became a hit after being played in heavy rotation on MTV. The dance-pop song gently poked fun at the supermodels who then dominated the fashion world and provided a break from the grunge rock that dominated the charts at the time.<div type="image" title="RuPaul at the VH1 Fashion and Music Awards in December 1995 in New York City." height="1987" width="2650" msid="93838001" hostid="261"></div>Bailey and Barbato then produced "The RuPaul Show," a talk show for VH1 that aired between 1996 and 1998.At the same time, they were creating productions like "The Adam and Joe Show," a comedy TV show for Britain's Channel 4 in the late 1990s, presented by Adam Buxton and Joe Cornish. (Cornish went on to direct "Attack the Block," the film that first brought John Boyega to the big screen).Bailey and Barbato also directed the 2000 documentary "<a href="https://affiliate.insider.com?h=a91e0caa0469ab326cb87ad0ac07a0abce2df842b9761b0ac8417b0e4097046d&amp;postID=630b5b78186a0b2b0a2c11d2&amp;postSlug=meet-the-2-men-helping-power-rupauls-astronomical-success-2022-8&amp;site=bi&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fgo.skimresources.com%3Fid%3D35871X943606%26xs%3D1%26url%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.hbomax.com%252Ffeature%252Furn%253Ahbo%253Afeature%253AGYvQATgs-wXcpuQEAAAKx" rel="nofollow sponsored">The Eyes of Tammy Faye</a>," which told the story of the rise and fall of the televangelist couple Tammy Faye and Jim Bakker, with RuPaul narrating.<div type="image" title="Daya Betty, Bosco, Jasmine Kennedie, Willow Pill, Angeria Paris VanMicheals, Kerri Colby, Lady Camden and Kornbread 'The Snack' Jeté at a party in West Hollywood in June." height="3712" width="4949" msid="93838002" hostid="261"></div>"<a href="https://affiliate.insider.com?h=b75af2488cf629e88936a00a51a141c260daee41a4db9ea30d6a59ec98b0357e&amp;postID=630b5b78186a0b2b0a2c11d2&amp;postSlug=meet-the-2-men-helping-power-rupauls-astronomical-success-2022-8&amp;site=bi&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hulu.com%2Fseries%2Frupauls-drag-race-7b8783f8-f9f9-451d-ad41-a6159fb900f2" rel="nofollow sponsored">Drag Race</a>" came about when Bailey and Barbato were discussing new projects with RuPaul in the late 2000s. According to them, RuPaul said he would never do a reality-competition series before eventually changing his mind.But Bailey said at the time there was "a resistance to drag on TV" and "the door felt closed." World of Wonder ended up co-financing the first season themselves before it was picked up by Logo, a cable channel aimed at LGBTQ audiences, where it ran for eight seasons."It became clear to all of us very early on that there was something absolutely magical here," Barbato said, noting that RuPaul was an "incredible talent that you didn't ordinarily get to see on television.""Ru speaks TV fluently and has a very specific point of view that's a combination of comedy and wit and heart and sass and spirituality," Barbato said. "So even though those early seasons were a bit raw and rough around the edges, the format really hasn't changed."<div type="image" title="Randy Barbato, RuPaul and Fenton Bailey at the Fashion Does Drag Ball in New York City in September 2017." height="2000" width="2666" msid="93838003" hostid="261"></div>As its rating steadily rose, the show's breakthrough came in 2017 when it moved to VH1, which is available to most US homes with cable TV. The first foreign versions appeared in Chile and Thailand, but the pinnacle arrived in October 2019 when "<a href="https://affiliate.insider.com?h=06dd0e3419dc5c62869e0c0eace44fc29611e580d637c6e2fb2d0caea5b3951f&amp;postID=630b5b78186a0b2b0a2c11d2&amp;postSlug=meet-the-2-men-helping-power-rupauls-astronomical-success-2022-8&amp;site=bi&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Ftv.apple.com%2Fus%2Fepisode%2Fgod-shave-the-queens%2Fumc.cmc.5rrk4xj45xyjdlzss5jg64mvx%3Faction%3DplaySmartEpisode" rel="nofollow sponsored">Drag Race UK</a>" premiered on the BBC. Getting a British edition commissioned had taken "dozens" of attempts, Bailey said. Sky, the satellite-TV broadcaster formerly owned by Rupert Murdoch, "thought it was too trashy for them," he said, but the BBC eventually said yes. "Drag Race" has become one of the most popular shows on its iPlayer streaming platform, with a fourth season underway. "Drag Race UK" was a turning point, because it helped demonstrate the show's universality, Barbato said. "Drag is alive in every corner of the world," he said. "The format translates without overwhelming the regional aspects of drag in all these different territories. Each version has its own flavor. They wear their own set of heels and their own wigs, and we're all happier for that."<div type="image" title="The winner of RuPaul's Drag Race UK season three, Krystal Versace (centre), with the other queens in London in November 2021.." height="3088" width="4118" msid="93838004" hostid="261"></div>There are now versions of the show in Canada, France, Spain, Italy, Holland, the Philippines, and "Down Under," but only the UK and Australia-New Zealand iterations are presented by RuPaul. Some are hosted by former contestants, such as the Canadian version which has Brook Lynn Hytes at the helm.Barbato stressed that "Drag Race" is creating a platform that allows existing drag talent to be seen: "We are not creating a drag empire — a drag empire already exists. It's global and we are turning people on to it. That is an important distinction. "There's been this talent pool that's gone unrecognized for decades and people are just discovering that."He added: "One of the most satisfying things about working on this show is just watching these girls traveling around the world and working and making people happy."This article has been updated since it was first published in 2022.
