Jack and Rebecca Pearson are the heartbeat of This is Us, which is interesting when you consider Milo Ventimiglia’s character died before the events of the current timeline. However it’s not hard to believe that Jack and Rebecca’s chemistry has been strong enough to hold the flashback portions of This is UsIt was six seasons. This is especially impressive when you consider Ventimiglia’s and Mandy Moore’s alleged 2015 vows.
This is Us is currently airing its sixth and final season on NBC, bringing what could only be a devastating end to the show that’s kept audiences reaching for the tissues for six years, as well as keeping us on our toes with its twists and turns. Milo Ventimiglia spoke on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy FallonAbout the final season and recalled a moment that he shared with Mandy Moore during an advertiser conference. This Is Us’ premiere.
Okay, that is just about the cutest thing I’ve ever heard. To know that Milo Ventimiglia and Mandy Moore vowed to look out for each other on set as if they were actually husband and wife really makes Jack and Rebecca’s on-screen relationship make so much sense.
This is Us has always brought the emotion and has tackled some really tough issues, so I’d imagine knowing that you had that kind of support from your scene partner must have been so creatively freeing for both actors. Milo Ventimiglia was a total gushing about Mandy Moore and how much it has been a pleasure to watch her develop over the past six-years.
Ok, so we are all in love with Milo Ventimiglia. Watch his entire interview with Jimmy Fallon here.
What a beautiful tribute to Mandy Moore – and it’s very much well-deserved. Season 6 will show the progression of Rebecca’s Alzheimer’s, leading to a flash forward scene where she’s near the end of her life. Moore’s performance was both breathtaking and heartbreaking in the premiere. I can’t wait to see what more these two will show audiences as Season 6 continues.
