Milo Ventimiglia is giving his This Is Us co-star some major love.
The 44-year-old actor expressed his admiration and praise for Mandy Moore, with whom he has starred with on NBC’s This Is Us since 2016.
In an interview with E! News ahead of the show’s final season premiere, Milo said about Mandy:
“I just think the world of her. She’s wonderful.”
He said that Mandy was “incredibly, naturally talented,” and shared:
“She’s very connected to what she does. She works incredibly hard.”
Milo sweetly revealed that he is “always inspired by Mandy,” saying:
‘She puts a lot of effort into the work, but when the work is done, she leaves it in a studio. She walks away from it. And she’s… passionate about something else: Her family, her music, her friends, giving back to the community.
She’s a very inspirational woman.”
Milo also spoke about Mandy in a recent appearance on The Tonight Show on Tuesday, sharing this lovely little anecdote:
“Right before the show premiered, we were in New York for the upfronts… and everybody was kind of milling about and Mandy and I were just kind of off to the side by ourselves and we just kind of raised our glasses to one another.
We almost took vows with one another where it was like, ‘Hey, I promise to always communicate. I promise to not be happy until you’re happy. I will always look out for you.’ And we have stayed very true to what we said in the beginning.”
And he went on to say that in his long career, Mandy is probably the best screen partner he’s had:
“I’ve got to say she has been probably in my 26 years in front of the camera, the best partner I’ve ever had — her commitment, her dedication, her growth as an artist. The audience, you guys get to watch the show in its entirety. I get to sit there in front of her, or stand in front of her, or lay in a bed next to her and watch front row what she does and how impactful it is, the work is to her. And I’ve only seen it grown.
So, it’s been a pleasure to be her TV husband for six years. At the same time, closing this chapter, I’m very excited to see what Mandy does next because she’s such a force.”
Awwww.
