October 07, 2022
Kunal Nayyar’s “hairy chest” was no match for the freezing temperatures of Cape Cod.
On Friday’s episode of “The Jennifer Hudson Show,” the former star of “The Big Bang Theory” spoke to Jennifer about his new film, “The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry.”
During their chat, the actor spoke about how the film — centered on a bookstore owner whose rare collection of Edgar Allen Poe poems gets stolen — was shot in Massachusetts during all four seasons.
However, the scenes that were filmed during the winter proved to be extremely challenging.
“How cold?” Jennifer asked, to which Kunal replied, “It was freezing.”
