Jennifer Coolidge is a successful actress, and despite this success, she appears to remain humble. In an interview with The Guardian, she spoke about receiving roles later in life. "I've been very lucky. I don't want to analyse it too much in case they dry up," she said, before acknowledging projects that have put her in the limelight.
"People assumed I could only do certain kinds of role — that lady who comes in, opens a door, says something funny, then closes it," she continued. "You get put in a box as comic relief, but those things helped get me back in the game and I'm so glad." Based on Coolidge's roles, fans may assume that she is a woman who is confident and carefree. After all, not just anyone can deliver the comedic performances she has because they are often so tongue in cheek. But if you thought she was completely comfortable with herself, you'd be mistaken, because she's admitted to using comedy as a defense mechanism.
"I hate to just be... me. I think I put on a little something just to survive," she told InStyle of how she uses comedy. She shared, "There are tricks I've learned where I don't have to be 100% myself." Who would have guessed Coolidge is shy when socializing?
