AJ was such a big part of my growing up. She was the first actress I truly enjoyed following and I have always loved how honest and humble she is ❤😊

This is such a great interview and I love getting to hear these in-depth insights from AJ. I know she mentioned being a sensitive person and feeling unsure with navigating people's opinions of her - negative or positive - but it's extremely evident to me just from this discussion how much of a shining light and wonderful person she is. We're very lucky to witness her creativity and generally have her presence in the world.

Just started watching CM a few weeks ago. After her pregnancy she went from beautiful to... Really damn distracting. I've always been a brunette guy... But season 5 she actually has me reeeeally breathless. I'm assuming this is some sort of witchcraft. But I don't mind at all.😂
