Meet 'Ted Lasso' Stars Brett Goldstein and Brendan Hunt | Cover Shoot | Entertainment Weekly

[@wackswax8423]

Beards night out episode deserves an Emmy just for itself. This show hits every feel, every demographic. Nailed it!

[@davidlericain]

My favorite episode of the series so far. I almost want a spin-off or something.

[@theoriginalchefboyoboy6025]

I luvved it also, but according to IMDb trivia it was a low rated episode, shame. I kept expecting that episode to end as a dream/spiritual journey for Beard...

[@SBandy]

Nah it was shite. And I love the show but that episode was krap.

[@rvuksonm]

@@SBandy nahh its not

[@jodivandewalle-mccomas7958]

Agreed! Coach beard dancing…so sexy!!

[@fernphoenix]

I live in Richmond Upon Thames, where this is filmed, and can say that even the crew on this show are delightful. The whole team is really nice, so perhaps that contributes to the 'magic' Brett describes.

[@glyndwrjohn6383]

Love to hear that. Have you seen the cast being interviewed after the fa Cup final?

[@asadmerchant1746]

HE'S HERE, HE'S THERE, HE'S EVERY F'ING WHERE, ROY KENT!!

[@KS-xk2so]

Stranger: "Hi!" Brett: "Are we gonna fucking fight or what?" Yeah, they cast the right guy for Roy Kent, lol

[@NameWithoutNumber]

I get it though, I don't think he's aggressive, it's just that a complete stranger saying "How are you doing?" to you sounds like someone about to pick a fight to him. Different cultures.

[@JackHGUK]

@@NameWithoutNumber his charicter is from London, and his charicter is literally supposed to have misplaced anger.

[@BadgerUKvideo]

@@JackHGUK Yeah it's definitely more of a London thing. No-one's going to be bothered about a friendly stranger anywhere else in Britain; obviously a little more in cities but not as bad as London.

[@NameWithoutNumber]

@@JackHGUK I was talking about the actor haha

[@Stefan-oz2lz]

He cast himself! I love the story

[@BatmanHQYT]

I already loved Brett's performance as Roy, but I was even more impressed to learn he was a writer on the show. Incredibly talented!

[@jennifermeyer704]

Brett is amazing, and so talented.

[@geoffireland6365]

His “Let’s Gooooooooo!!!!!!” Shrieking Scream at his team from the sidelines was one of the funniest bits in the series. He’s such a straight, even character that when he has ANY kind of outburst, it’s surprising and hilarious.

[@tdubb3]

everything about this show is just so incredibly sweet, it has to be the best job in the world

[@alexiz0013]

I know right? That's so awesome

[@DD-sr9xm]

As an American who lived in London for 10 years and had season tickets at both Arsenal and Fulham, I just want to say that the writers and performers just nailed it on this show. It represents both sides very well, it just nails the great stereo types of both sides. And naming the primary WAG Keeley while also having the original and greatest “Keeley” (Keeley Hazell) actually in the cast … genius.

[@tiffalina11]

So weird to see “Roy” so smiley 😁 Love the show.

[@MacyIG]

I binged all 13 episodes that are available at this moment just yesterday and now I wanna go back and start again

[@shuckster_io]

They’re just so effortlessly funny and wholesome

[@carolynfleischli7391]

Brett is a true heart throb

[@sanfran91]

You know what that was a pretty solid impression of a Dutch person speaking English

[@ApequH]

And also exactly how that conversation would go.

Brett's smile is so lovely :)

[@calico27]

My 2 favorite characters! Literally: 1. Roy Kent 2. Coach Beard

[@irenathompson9776]

Brett is pure magic!❤️

[@natashacollins2063]

My English husband said the same thing his first week in the US! He asked why people kept telling him to "have a nice day" haha it weirded him out

[@seanbrown5687]

probably one of the biggest and best wait's of the year for me... even better than waiting for Covid to be over

[@fayesouthall6604]

Love this show! Kind, funny and very moving in parts.

[@bobosputnik]

Been used for many players but the one I remember is about Chelsea Frank LeBoeuf--who once said he was not a fan of the swearing so it went from "He's here, he's there, he's every fucking where, Frank Leboeuf" to "He's here, he's there, he's told us not to sweat, Frank Leboeuf." Roy Kent is a great throwback to hardmen like Vinnie Jones and Roy Keane.

[@MichaelMidnight]

Dang! Roy ain't so angry now :D

[@JGendron1983]

One of my favorite shows!!!

[@robotsex111]

I don't know what it is but I just love it when I see Americans and British getting along. I just find it very endearing.

[@MrTimbolide]

Brendan does a great Dutch-English accent. I've heard a lot of internationals try it, but none have come this close AFAIC

[@mitchisreal]

This is the 2nd sports genre show I'm hooked into. The first one was BMS, go GOATS!

[@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep]

This is like seeing Ming-Na Wen and Stephanie Beatriz together. They're so completely different from their iconic characters...

[@keekers19]

Love Ted Lasso!!

[@humancomputerinteraction8237]

Brendan Hunt is hilarious!

[@fayesouthall6604]

His description of the off side rule is perfect 😍

Coach Beard!

[@dhda111]

Never seen Roy Kent smile that much.

[@ruthyvonne5240]

OMG I love the character “Roy Kent”

[@whenmoe7509]

I love this show so very much. Well done.

[@laurabroers8164]

Brendans "dutch English" is so good😂

[@mthorpe96]

now i want to see that cut scene

[@zeekot4064]

Roy Kent needs his own spin-off show or something … that’s the best character In Ted lasso

"I've never been so proud"... Not even my own father tells me that

Brett. ❤️

[@travisinthetrunk]

I only know Brett from this show and it’s weird to see him laugh.

[@akanksha6631]

I literally went like why are they smiling so much this is such a drastically different out of character experience for me

[@God-dt7om]

best show on TV in years!!!!!!

[@ActraStunts]

Just awesomeness! Amazing work!

[@tiffany4591]

A Spurs fan!

[@kaisersozen]

I had blue cheese ice cream the other day and couldn't quite describe it to others.... until now: imagine the grouchiest, growliest character in TV history, and then the actor in real life just wears the biggest fucking smile in the world 24/7. I bet it irritates the hell out of Roy Kent how Brett cannot stop smiling.

[@hazbutler]

This was very good. They're funny bastards

[@carolinehaf21]

Do whatever you can to watch this show. I dont care if you hate soccer or sports. It won't matter, trust me.

British people don’t say hi or have a good one to strangers? More reason I don’t want to visit lol. But I do love British humor. It’s from all the hatred of people clearly

I think I understand the offsides rule a bit better now.

[@tomtalley2192]

I gotta ask the English fans of the show, is Roy Kent based on Roy Keane?

[@Baababaadu]

Coach beard is quite the underrated character the perfect balance to Ted over the top optimism

[@KS-xk2so]

He low key has some of the best moments in Season 1. I love when he's there for Ted right after he and his wife split up. Doesn't say a word, just sits with him and has a beer. That's a true friend. Plus one of the best pieces of advice ever "Grow up... and get over it." Legend!

[@19RoFlMao19]

Just finished watching season 1. Hands down Coach Beard is the best character i have ever seen. He is just soooooo good.

Explaining offside with beer bottles is how we all (everyone that grew up with football as the main sport in their country) do it, that's why Brett was so proud. Love this show

[@fayesouthall6604]

Yes

[@voodoosleeper]

I spent two hours one day trying to understand the offside rule (I'm an american) and Brendan just explained it so simply in less than a minute.

[@rentedtux1883]

One of the finest shows ever created. I do hope they continue with this show even after the 3rd season.

[@nothingspecial3131]

At least 6 seasons

[@rcheeks8963]

Please do excuse me correcting you, but I think you meant THE finest.

[@cranesonice6566]

I’d prefer they just do the three seasons and tell the story they wanted to tell, but also consider a spin off series based on further developing several popular characters

[@Beanmagnet21]

Why dont the defenders just stay at midfield

[@blakethornsbrough1528]

@@Beanmagnet21 I agree which makes soccer even more stupid. The rules are made to keep the defenders as far forward as possible which should increase scoring but they still end games nil-nil. Dumb.

He did what I do when trying to explain Offside, and bring up the "second to last defender". A mistake when explaining it to a novice. Get them to understand the concept, and then we can thrown in the earth shattering wrench that the goalkeeper can throw everything off

[@yemio1005]

That's where I gave up 😂

[@a-walgames1350]

@@yemio1005 It's actually very simple, it's the second to last opposition player, not the last defender. Normally the keeper is near the goal line so well ahead of the attacking player receiving the ball so it effectively becomes the last defender but if their keeper is way up (behind you) then there can be a defender in front of you but you're still offside because there's only one opposition player in front of you. Also you can't be offside if you're in your own half, if you receive the ball from a throw in or if the ball is played backwards or sideways, only when it's played foward.

[@yegmeshjwp]

@@a-walgames1350 Wow, shocked to find out I misunderstood the offside rule my entire life. Cheers for the info (confirmed by wiki follow up) ha ha
