Jason Sudeikis is opening up about his show Ted Lasso.
During a new interview with Variety, the 45-year-old actor chatted about creating the title character behind his hit Apple TV+ comedy series, revealing that he was inspired by several different actors and mentors, including Robin Williams.
“(The character) is rooted in these teachers here, and mentors, these Obi-Wan Kenobi types that see more in you than you can see in yourself, and that optimism,” Jason shared. “We wanted someone that when they spoke, could speak intelligently from a high EQ [emotional quotient], and celebrated the divine feminine.”
Ted Lasso brings back Jason‘s iconic NBC Sports character, a small-time college football coach from Kansas hired to coach a professional soccer team in England, despite having no experience coaching soccer. Season one is available for streaming on Apple TV+ now!
