What are Jackie Tohn’s comfortable on-set secrets?

Jackie Tohn explains how comfort and costumes transform a performance; Nobody Wants This Season 2 is now on Netflix.

A Small Start

Jackie Tohn recently revealed what she considers the most important thing on set—comfort.

At the InStyle Imagemaker Awards, she openly stated that even if revealing clothing is required in front of the camera, the key is for an actress to feel comfortable in her own skin.

Buns Out Experience

Jackie shared a funny but uncomfortable anecdote about wearing a very short leopard skirt on the old TV show, The Closer.

She kept pulling at the skirt the entire day, and everyone on set kept saying, “Just let it go.” She said it felt like “my buns are completely out,” and it was a bit strange.

The Impact of Comfort on Performance

Jackie believes that if you’re comfortable in your clothes, that confidence translates directly into your performance.

Sometimes, even if the clothes are revealing, they can add more authenticity to the character. She says that what you wear reveals a lot about the character and helps you get into the role.

Esther’s Turtleneck and Bangs

Jackie’s character, Esther, is often seen wearing turtlenecks in her Netflix series, Nobody Wants This. In Season 2, Esther suddenly got a bangs cut, which Jackie also found amusing.

In fact, Jackie explained that she used to have bangs herself, and the cut reminded her of the old days.

Choice of Clip-Ins

Jackie opted for clip-ins instead of cutting her bangs. She reasoned that bangs are difficult to manage and take time to grow out.

Clip-ins provide the look without the constant pain of having bangs throughout her life. She says she’s able to be more creative with her hair by being bang-free.

What’s different now?

Nobody Wants This Season 2 is now streaming on Netflix, and even Jackie’s small style choices are playing a crucial role in the character’s mood and story.

Jackie’s message is clear—whatever you wear on set, feel confident in yourself first, and everything else will fall into place naturally.
