Actress Mandy Moore recently shared her admiration for her former “This Is Us” co-star, Chrissy Metz, in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE magazine. The actress, who has been collaborating with the anti-RSV medication Beyfortus, expressed her delight upon seeing Metz’s cover story in PEOPLE, which was released last month.
“It just made my day,” Moore, 41, stated about the issue featuring Metz, 44. “Nobody deserves it more. Chrissy is such a hard worker. She’s so gifted, she’s such a talent, and being able to see her shine in every medium, whether it’s music or on the big screen or small screen, she truly, truly deserves it.”
Moore and Metz shared the screen as mother and daughter, Rebecca Pearson and Kate Pearson, on the hit NBC series “This Is Us.” The show ran from September 2016 to May 2022, captivating audiences with the Pearson family’s emotional journey over the years.
In her PEOPLE cover story, Metz opened up about her new life in Nashville, her commitment to her health, and her newfound love and supportive relationship. She also discussed her role in the Netflix series “The Hunting Wives,” alongside fellow actors like Brittany Snow, Malin Akerman, and Dermot Mulroney.
While Moore confessed that she hasn’t yet watched Metz’s recent series, she expressed her excitement and fondness for her former co-star, saying, “I’m so thrilled, and I miss her so much. I wish I got to see her as much as we all used to. But such is life.”
Apart from Moore and Metz, the ensemble cast of “This Is Us” included Milo Ventimiglia, Sterling K. Brown, Justin Hartley, Susan Kelechi Watson, and Chris Sullivan. The show garnered numerous Emmy nominations and awards during its successful run, touching the hearts of viewers worldwide.
Currently, Moore, Brown, and Sullivan host the popular podcast “That Was Us,” where they revisit and discuss episodes of “This Is Us.” Metz made a guest appearance on the podcast in November 2024, reminiscing about their time working together on the show.
Both “This Is Us” and “The Hunting Wives” are available for streaming, offering fans the opportunity to immerse themselves in the compelling storytelling and stellar performances by the talented cast members.
This heartwarming display of support between Mandy Moore and Chrissy Metz serves as a reminder of the strong bonds formed on-screen and off-screen by the cast of “This Is Us,” continuing to resonate with audiences long after the show’s conclusion.
