COVID Isn't Shutting Down Intimacy On "This Is Us"

For a LOT of shows, the pandemic has meant changes to how casts interact on set. But Milo Ventimiglia, aka Jack Pearson, reassured Us Weekly exclusively during a new interview that Jack and Rebecca (Mandy Moore) will still have intimate moments.

“Mandy and I were inches away on Saturday doing a few scenes together,” Milo said. “She’s regularly tested, I’m regularly tested. Because of the seriousness of COVID and knowing that Mandy’s pregnant — and we have 150 souls on our crew — nobody wants to put them at risk.”

“I trust Mandy and how she goes about her life away from work, and I think Mandy trusts me for how I go about my life away from work,” he said. “We’re always mindful of that. But no, you’re not going to see a Jack dummy or a Rebecca dummy — or Mandy kissing the Jack dummy or Milo kissing them Mandy dummy. It’s not gonna be that!”
