Kristen Wiig’s reflection on her film “Bridesmaids” isn’t the whimsical walk down the aisle that you might expect.
The comedy, which hit theaters in 2011, had many people filled with uncontrollable laughter, but for Wiig, that reaction didn’t fully resonate at first.
“I don’t really think I knew how well it was doing until later,” Wiig revealed to her former “SNL” castmate Amy Poehler during a Sep. 30 interview on her podcast.
The question was sparked when Poehler asked the actor how she managed to balance her “SNL” workload with the release of a film Poehler described as “gigantic,” and “incredible.”
Looking back, Wiig and her writing partner for the film Annie Mumolo didn’t have a “holy shit” moment until after the film had already made its mark.
