Leighton Meester Knows the Pain of a Toxic Boss

Leighton Meester is openly sharing her real-life office experiences for her new show, I Love LA.

Not a TV Show, But the Truth of Real Life!

Leighton Meester plays a publicist in the new comedy show ‘I Love LA’ who is a typical L.A. type.

But she says that the ‘craziness’ of the show is quite similar to some parts of her own life.

Leighton herself has admitted that she has also faced ‘toxic work environments’ in her life.

Situations with bosses who don’t like to uplift you – she’s experienced similar things in real life.

This Show is a Safe Space for Comedy

For Leighton, portraying such toxic dynamics through comedy has been a completely ‘safe’ and ‘fun’ experience.

She said that even when such things aren’t happening in real life, she feels a thrill while acting them out.

Her real-life publicist is completely different, but the world of the show has given her complete creative freedom to explore her character, Alyssa.

Josh Hutcherson Also Found His Character Relatable

Leighton’s co-star Josh Hutcherson also found his character, Dylan, quite relatable. Josh says that Dylan wants to plan everything, he wants to work logically.

And Josh believes that in real life too, he has become accustomed to being around people who are completely unplanned.

He says, “A little planning can make life so much easier!” Still, he admits that he himself is attracted to chaos!

It Shows the Real Picture of LA

This show depicts that life in L.A. isn’t just about glamour and parties. It also includes ambition, friendship, love, and the usual office conflicts.

For stars like Leighton Meester and Josh Hutcherson, this show is a mirror in which they can see a complete reflection of themselves.

Watch ‘I Love LA’, Sundays at 11 PM, only on HBO or HBO Max.
