Judy Greer's Wedding Planner Flashback

0:00It's April 19th. This is entertainment and celebrity news, AI-powered stories from the world of fame. I'm Corey with the story. Judy Greer just dropped the gym from her early days on the wedding planner, that 2001 rom-com starring Jennifer Lopez and Matthew, McConaughey, which pulled in $95 million at the box office. Back then, she was playing Lopez's assistant Penny and feeling the pinch financially before production even kicked off. At the table read in New York City's Roosevelt Hotel, Greer valedays her car without a second thought, but when it was time to pay, she had zero cash. She hit up a pay phone in the lobby to call her buddy Sean Gunn for help. Not realizing McConaughey was nearby listening in, he steps up, slips her $20, no questions asked. Greer says she was mortified, but straight up calls him her hero for the save. She cracked up remembering his daily look, pajamas, hair and makeup half done, sipping Yerba Mate like a total vibe.

1:00That gig was huge for her. She was the first to audition and the director let her riff on lines, building her confidence as a young actress. Fast forward, Greer's stat credits from Jawbreaker in the late 1990s to Marvel Flicks horror hits like Halloween and just reunited, with Jennifer Garner from 13 going on 30 on a new Apple TV series. McConaughey and Lopez still rave about the film's light energy, perfect escape from the grind. Greer's tale hits home, Hollywood Hustle starts rough, but real ones like him make the come-up sweeter.
