Jeff Hiller and Bridget Everett, renowned actors and co-stars of the hit series “Somebody Somewhere,” are showing their strong off-screen camaraderie. In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Jeff Hiller, the talented actor and comedian aged 49, delves into the special bond he shares with Bridget Everett, 53, and how they have their own unique version of ”tini time,” reminiscent of their characters Joel and Sam’s love for martinis in the show.
Hiller shares that although one-on-one outings with Everett are quite rare, they usually prefer spending time socializing in the company of mutual friends. He mentions, “It’s usually lots of people, and we have these two mutual friends who are a couple, so it’s sometimes the four or five [of us] with my husband.”
During these gatherings, Hiller confesses that he has cut back on his martinis intake. He humorously admits, “I have to not have ‘tinis anymore because Mama gets hungover. Sometimes before I leave the party, I’m like, ‘Oh God, I’m hungover.’ I’m not quite the drinker that Joel is.”
The possibility of a “Somebody Somewhere” reunion is also a topic that Hiller touched upon during the interview. He reveals, “I mean, we’ve dreamed about it. There was nobody that was like, ‘Oh, okay, onto the next.’ It was so special for all of us, and we really do love each other.” He further expresses, “I think everybody would be on board in a heartbeat if something happened. I mean, it’s all about money, networks, scripts, and writing.”
