Jessica Simpson Returns to Acting with a Dramatic New Role
Jessica Simpson reemerged on screen after a 15-year hiatus, debuting on Hulu’s new legal drama All’s Fair. The singer and fashion designer takes on the role of Lee-Anne, a woman who seeks legal advice from Kim Kardashian’s character, Allura Grant, following a disastrous plastic surgery.
Prosthetic Transformation for Role
Simpson shared a behind-the-scenes glimpse of her makeup transformation on Instagram, showcasing exaggerated cheeks, full lips, and a distorted nose. She humorously captioned the video:
“I mean, this face. 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 Backstory
In episode three, Lee-Anne reveals her motivation for the surgery:
“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 Acting Experience
Reflecting on her return to acting, Simpson expressed surprise and delight with her performance during the show’s premiere interview with ETonline:
“I didn’t even know that I could do it.”
