Jason Sudeikis says playing Ted Lasso with so much kindness and positivity was intentional. 'To play someone that was kindhearted, that didn't swear -- be like teflon toward people's negativity or sarcasm -- a hundred percent intentional.'
Ted Lasso star Jason Sudeikis explains the nature of the character's kindness and positivity. Ted Lasso season 1 landed on Apple TV+ during the first year of the pandemic to quickly become a global hit. The comedy show's feel-good upbeat nature clearly resonated with audiences at a time when the world seem so bleak around them.
Sudeikis stars as the show's titular character Ted Lasso, an American football coach tasked with managing the fictional Barclay's Premier League soccer team AFC Richmond. Along with his longtime assistant coach and confidant Coach Beard , Lasso must face his critics, from both outside and within the clubhouse, and save the team from certain relegation.
"To play the character [that way] was intentional. To play someone that was kindhearted, that didn't swear -- be like teflon toward people's negativity or sarcasm -- a hundred percent intentional." In addition to its overall upbeat nature, the sports comedy also dealt with serious themes including the consequences of poor mental health when ignoring self to focus on others, increased anxiety from stress and external pressures, which could all lead to depression.
Even with Ted Lasso season 2 laying on a healthy heap of anxiety attacks and self-destruction, the show still manages to make the audience smile by the end of it, even if that smile is through gritted teeth. When the season came to a close, audiences were gifted with a superb cliffhanger revealing that kit manager turned assistant coach Nate has left Lasso's staff and AFC Richmond altogether to join Rebecca Welton's ex-husband's new team, West Ham United.
