Jenna Fischer & John Krasinski Talk ‘Office’ Pregnancy
“Pam is pregnant,” Jenna told the Dish. “She’s due in February.”
But Scranton’s new mom-to-be isn’t the only one expecting.
“My sister Emily is pregnant in real life and she is due with her real baby at the same time I’m due with my fictional baby,” Jenna explained, adding that they’ve worked her sister’s experiences into the show. “So I call her and say, ‘Pam is 5 months pregnant, how do you feel?’ It’s been fun to bond with my sister over. We’re kind of pregnant at the same time.”
However, John Krasinski said prepping for TV fatherhood hasn’t been as easy for him.
“I have no one to steal from, no one I know is pregnant,” he admitted.
Still, when asked if he was going to gain “sympathy weight,” he said he was up for the challenge.
“I’m going to gain 30 pounds,” John joked.
While he’ll be a TV dad this February on “The Office,” he’s a father of a different sort this week – his directorial debut, “Brief Interviews With Hideous Men,” hits select theaters this Friday.
