Jon Bernthal Recalls The Sweet Story Of How He Met Jamie Lee Curtis Before Working With Her On 'The Bear'
Another season of "The Bear" has come and gone, and it did not disappoint in the slightest. Hulu and FX’s acclaimed restaurant drama more than rose to the occasion for its second season, as it held onto what fans loved about Season 1 while also expanding on the show’s mythos. In doing so, the producers brought in a number of A+ guest stars, including Jamie Lee Curtis and the returning Jon Bernthal. The two were able to share the screen together, and their characters have a “complicated” relationship to say the least. Yet the actors themselves seem to have gotten on quite well, and Bernthal recently shared a sweet story about how they met before filming the show.
On "The Bear," the "Ford v. Ferrari" alum plays the role of Michael "Mikey" Berzatto, the former operator of Chicago eatery The Beef, who died by suicide shortly before the events of the show. With that, the character has appeared via flashbacks and returned in Season 2 during a Christmas episode set several years in the past. The same installment, “Fishes,” also introduces fans to Berzatto family matriarch Donna, who Jamie Lee Curtis portrays. Both stars are absolutely impeccable as their respective characters, who both have issues to sort out.
