Jessica Simpson Returns to Acting in Hulu’s Legal Drama
Jessica Simpson made her acting comeback after 15 years in the new Hulu legal drama All’s Fair. She appeared with a dramatically altered look, playing Lee-Anne, a woman who seeks legal help from Kim Kardashian’s character, Allura Grant, following botched plastic surgery.
Behind-the-Scenes Transformation
Simpson shared a behind-the-scenes Instagram video showing her prosthetic makeup, which included exaggerated cheeks, plump lips, and a distorted nose. She joked about her appearance, saying,
“I mean, this face.”
She captioned the clip,
“Introducing this ultimate badass with a heart of gold. It took an incredible village (and six hours in prosthetics!) to bring her to life for @hulu’s #AllsFair and wow… what a ride.”
Character Motivation and Plot
In the show’s third episode, Lee-Anne reveals her decision to get plastic surgery came after discovering her husband’s infidelity. She explains,
“We’ve been married almost three years. I knew he had had one affair — probably more. So when he had told me to get plastic surgery, I couldn’t say no.”
Simpson’s Return to Acting
After years away from acting, Simpson was pleasantly surprised by her performance. She shared with ETonline during the premiere,
“I didn’t even know that I could do it.”
