Mandy Moore Shares Truth About This Is Us Finale

Mandy Moore threw up after reading the script for the penultimate This Is Us episode.  The 38-year-old singer and actress who played Rebecca Pearson in the NBC drama since the first series in 2016, isn’t keen to say goodbye to her character Rebecca Pearson, and the show. But, Mandy warns fans they might need to book a day off work for after the second-to-last episode.

During an appearance on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon,” Mandy opened up about filming the final two episodes of NBC’s hit drama “This Is Us.”

While reading the script for the show’s second-to-last episode, Mandy revealed that she had a particularly hard time departing from the character she had played for the last six years.

“I will tell you that the penultimate episode, which airs in, like, a week, I threw up after I read it,” she confessed. “And maybe that’s just because it’s really close to the bone for me. Like, this has been my life for the last six years and it’s, like, I simultaneously have to say goodbye to the character, to my family and friends on set, and this character’s also coincidentally saying goodbye as well, so there’s a lot wrapped up in it. But I still think that, like, you might need a day off from work.”

Mandy Moore – On Discussing The Final Episode

In the previous episode that concluded, Mandy’s character Rebecca Pearson is close to the end of her life, the trailer teasing the penultimate episode gave viewers a sneak peek at the Big Three sharing their final moments with their mother.

Though it seems like the series’ next episode will be a heart wrencher, Mandy assured viewers that the final episode will leave fans in their feels.

“But the finale is a bit more of a hug. I think there’s a little bit more levity. Yeah, the second-to-last destroyed me. I have a feeling it might destroy people too,” she admitted.

Mandy also revealed that she said goodbye to the long-running series with a few keepsakes she had snagged off set. Mandy said that she had also taken a Steelers jersey from the show’s Super Bowl episode as well as Rebecca’s engagement ring, both items she described as “sentimental.”

“Milo and I went and did one last lap through the Pearson house and took some of the family photos off the wall and just put the frames back up,” she explained. “They were going to throw those pictures away anyway but they meant something to us.”

Mandy Moore – Wants A Redo 

Last month, Mandy admitted she wanted to redo her This Is Us scenes after becoming a real-life mother, after she welcomed her first child, Gus, with her husband Taylor Goldsmith in February 2021.

She said: “It all makes sense now. I want to go back and redo everything. I just feel like the interaction that I have with the kids now … I have always felt the maternal instinct in me, but now it’s fully solidified. Just like the little things of someone being like, ‘I need a water,’ ‘I’m hungry,’ or ‘I have to go to the bathroom.’ “Like, ‘Guys, guys, guys. No, that comes first. That’s the priority.’ Whereas before – I obviously would have cared about children’s needs – but it makes it next level.”
