Earlier this year, Sudeikis also took home a 2021 Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Television Series—Comedy for the same role.
“Yeah, I mean, that’s nuts. Thank you to the Hollywood Foreign Press,” he said in his February 28 speech. “I mean, this is, for me the coolest thing that a group of, you know, like, that’s nuts.”
After thanking his co-stars, he stated that he rejected “the premise of being the best actor, because in my humble opinion the best actor is the person you are acting with.”
“So, I want to give a shoutout to everyone that I get a chance to act with on the show, because they are incredible,” he added. “Do they make me the best? No, but I know for a fact that they make me better. Better than I am, better than I thought I could be, better than, you know, than—you know, than anything I could do and so, I appreciate everybody looking out.”
As forTed Lasso season two which is currently airing on Apple TV+, Sudeikis recently opened up to E! News about Ted’s darkest and angrier side.
“It did feel all right,” E! was the first to hear it. He spoke exclusively to E! “It was a fun thing to yell and play sort of that aggro energy, like in a heightened comedy space. But then also, because Ted doesn’t swear, to try to come up with alternate ways of cussing out the players without using any cuss words, you have a tendency to get inventive, alliterative and rhyming usually helps too. Which is, I think, why we end up using turd birds right off the bat.”
