“I had to be on my feet a lot. It was a lot,” Cuoco explained. “And by the end, I was nine months pregnant. So the fight scene at the end near the grave − the fantasy − a lot of that was done by my double because it was like I was literally about to give birth, like any second.”
Cuoco welcomed her daughter, Matilda, into the world on March 30, 2023.
Embracing her pregnancy, Cuoco expressed her gratitude for being able to showcase it on screen.
The producers even encouraged her to eat more for the role, a first for the actress. “You’ve seen every part of my life − good and bad − in front of everyone. And so it was kind of cool to show this too,” Cuoco shared.
“Why not just own it and wear short shirts and let my stomach hang out? I did the swimsuit scene… And I’m very proud of it, and I hope it inspires other women to be like, ‘It’s fine. We can still do it all.'”
Fans can now enjoy Cuoco’s new series, Based on a True Story, streaming on Peacock.
