Jennifer Love Hewitt goes bold and bright for the “9-1-1” incoming season!
The actress proves that looking good is good business as she gears up for the 10th season of her role as Maddie Han on FOX and ABC’s hit show.
Jennifer Love Hewitt joined the show on its second season in 2018, acting as a former ER nurse fleeing an abusive relationship and later encouraged by her brother to become an emergency dispatcher while rebuilding her life.
The media personality flaunted her fresh look from the salon in her latest post about the 10th season of “9-1-1,” updating her fans and viewers that she is beyond ready to keep people on the edge of their seats again.
Love Hewitt has spent nearly a decade on the set of the hit series building bonds with her co-stars and the network, whom she tagged accordingly.
Love Hewitt rocked a layered middle part look with soft bangs framing her makeup-free face. She rounded up the short clip by making a love symbol with her hands as over 3k commenters showered her with compliments under the post.
Nikkilee, one of her co-stars on the show, commented, “Love you,” as Tommy Didario excitedly announced, “We are so back.” Another excited fan raved about her iconic performance on “Ghost Whisperer” and “Client List,” noting that her beauty remains in a class of its own.
“Oh gurl I love a blonde. And this is eating,” this admirer emphasized that the new season would showcase Love Hewitt’s ability to simultaneously solve cases while leaving a few broken hearts in her trail.
The TV Star Weighed In On A.I. And The Movie World After A Chilling ‘9-1-1’ Episode
In January, the actress got candid with PEOPLE about how her character handled an A.I. threat in an episode of the movie. Love Hewitt discussed that the latest episode of the series addressed the growing real-world fears about A.I. replacing human workers.
In the episode, Love Hewitt’s character, Maddie, was blindsided by the arrival of an A.I. assistant named Sara who exhibited similar mannerisms to hers, including using her voice. The actress admitted that witnessing the technology use her voice made the whole experience more eerie, and it felt like the scary scenes in “M3GAN.”
While holding a deep admiration for the role of A.I. in technology, she did express her reservations about its looming effect on future generations and their creativity. The storyline also carries emotional weight for Maddie, whose call center has long been a place of comfort and security.
Love Hewitt explained that any threat to that environment hits the character especially hard because it provided a haven for her during one of her lowest days.
Jennifer Love Hewitt Swears By A No-Pressure Approach At Keeping Fit
When she is not killing it on set, the screen goddess is focusing on a healthy lifestyle with nutritious meal plans and daily fitness routines. Balance has become a watchword in her approach to achieving her fitness goals, which means that she does not deny herself the good stuff, but with a limit.
As noted by The Blast, sources close to the actress revealed that she enjoyed a mix of yoga, Pilates, and other forms of strength training to keep fit. “Rather than push herself to extreme measures, she takes it all in her stride and feels much happier and confident that way,” the insider noted.
On her preferred style of working out, the insider revealed that she loved exercise that targets muscles and core strength to help her stay fit for her kids and everyday life. Basically, Love Hewitt is all about eating food rich in nutrients without caving in to unrealistic beauty standards often put on actresses in Hollywood, which prompts less confidence in one’s skin and natural body.
The Actress Reflected On Navigating Sexualization Culture As A Teen In Hollywood
The 47-year-old, during a chat with Mayim Bialik on her podcast, explained how it felt existing as an overly sexualized teenager in Hollywood, especially in an atmosphere where it was normalized at the time.
Looking back, the actress described that attention as unhealthy and unsettling because it permitted grown men to talk about her private parts even while she was a teenager. Love Hewitt could recall people talking about it and laughing with a tone of acceptance, which looks even more repulsive in hindsight.
While all that was going on, the actress confessed that a voice in her head kept telling her being labeled as a sex symbol was not the best, also partly because she had not understood the word sexy at the time. In her words: “People would openly walk up and be like, ‘I took your magazine with me on a trip last week. I didn’t really know what that meant. It’s kind of gross.”
Jennifer Love Hewitt Uncovered Unique Coping Mechanism For The Environment
When it became unbearable to handle the fixation on her body, unwarranted scrutiny, and lewd comments, Love Hewitt found a way to move on by making jokes about her body.
Recalling a pivotal appearance she made on “The Tonight Show” in 1996, the actress recalled trying to convince the audience that she is not the sex symbol everyone assumed she is.
Describing her efforts at the time as very unnecessary, Love Hewitt noted that the attention only grew as time passed by, and a certain publication of her on vacation made the situation worse.
The actress admitted that the comments that trailed the release of the publication left her insecure, and she remained unsure she ever recovered from it. She then turned her attention to little girls who may find themselves in a similar situation, encouraging them to pay no mind to artificial standards and remain confident in their bodies.
Jennifer Love Hewitt is about to give “9-1-1” fans a performance of their lifetime!
