This man is so beautiful, eloquent and introspective. Damn you, Mindy.

[@mlaygo]

What did she do??

[@sophiarodriguez3706]

You did a great job in every Newsroom scene you were ever in, Chris. The fact that you could even work through that level of anxiety and offer up such a beautiful performance really speaks to your dedication and raw talent.

[@appoloniasigg29]

Right? This is actually really inspiring.

[@elizaheathen]

chris messina is one of the sexiest men alive

[@reverseflashes]

Amen!!!!

[@lol-jp8jc]

someone who understands

[@niqueachilds7223]

2 thing's yes he is so sexy and I love your profile pic Lucy is the goat

[@chumark54]

Many complimented Chris for being able to talk about it. I agree. But I think we should also be amazed by the other big name cast members who only showed unconditional support to him too.

[@Bluemgwes]

Agreed. Especially when most people care about the gossip and the taboo stories of whose an asshole and eating that up. It's always refreshing to hear these kind of stories about celebrities and a reminder that they're human just like us and not these god like entities we portray them to be in the media.

[@chumark54]

@@Bluemgwes Indeed, well said.

[@rebeccaelliott9770]

he is just so so attractive and talented

[@Sab_MJsMama]

The fact that he can talk about it...he white knuckled it and can talk retrospectively about it... much respect!

[@b991228]

When you look at the character on-screen Chris Messina’s performance is incredible. He went from what appeared to be an oafish momma’s boy to a gifted and insightful and gifted businessman dedicated to Atlantis Cable News. It may have been painful but he produced.

Chris Messina's work in Sharp Objects was 👌👌👌 he's such a great actor!!!

[@fireball0762]

he seemed like such a great powerful and confident character. Never knew he was nervous

[@alex0589]

I got nervous just thinking about it

[@destinychild4659]

Alex Me too

[@riri16844]

I (and i can't stress this enough) want the podcast of this episode, please !!!!!!

[@christirva339]

I’m really happy he shared this.

[@rm1856]

The Newsroom had such exceptional dialogue and characters. There were times I hated Reese which is a testament to how wonderfully Messina played the character. Very on point. Great dynamics and tension.

[@robertk2007]

He’s an amazing actor, stage and screen

[@MeTube1988]

For what it’s worth The Newsroom was one of my favorite shows ever and I thought he was excellent in his role. His character really evolved from greed in the beginning to pride in the network in the end

[@jobione3620]

Can you imagine what a real Newsroom is like, I bet no one is telling you they love you or you’re great, this actor did a great job

[@jennymanker6478]

Love this man.

[@dracarysssx]

love him in sharp objects

[@danwilliams1935]

I thought he was great as Reece Lansing, one of those characters you want to dislike. But he was fantastic and effortlessly funny. Great cast

[@Edfons]

He is so handsome

[@paulal3582]

I know exactly which scene he's talking about (finally of season 2) and he's right. His dialogue in that scene must have been a bitch.

[@jenifferdejesus7722]

He's so handsome.

[@sallyversace]

Jesus H Christ, he is gorgeous!

[@sblack48]

Points for humility!

[@bySterling]

I had no idea who this guy is but kudos and wow his current wife: “. She co-produced the 89th and 90th Academy Awards with Michael De Luca. She was nominated for an Emmy for producing both shows. She previously served as President of Pearl Street Films, the production company of actors Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.”

[@franciscotoro9454]

I absolutely despised this character, which is a tip of the hat to Mr. Messina. Well done!!!!

[@bg-ij9uc]

i dont get it. why didn't he know his lines? did he not memorize them?

[@treeseer1573]

Marry me Chris Messina !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jo_asiago8539]

Thank you for that vulnerability

[@jagdeepsinghuppal8310]

💝

[@anabanana_21]

[@gitbuh12345qwerty]

He;s going to play Epstein one day.

[@ZeZeBatata69]

The look the same.
