Jenny Slate admits film 'It Ends With Us' changed how she sees herself

After starring in It Ends With Us, Jenny Slate has found the confidence and hopefulness in herself as an actress

In a recent chat with Deadline at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival, the 43-year-old actress revealed how the movie, starring Blake Lively, Brandon Sklenar and Justin Baldoni, has left a positive impact as a "dramatic performer."

“I think what I found in myself during this shoot was renewed gratitude for the combination in my personality that is shyness and hopefulness that becomes this strange, gregariousness that feels so good to have,” she told the pulsiher.

She continued, “It just feels so good to be that way."

“I think I also upped my confidence or my sense of legitimacy and the value of myself as a dramatic performer.”

As Jenny stars in the upcoming romantic drama Rachel Lambert, in which her character reunites with her high school fling, the actress revealed how she differs from her character, Rebecca.

She noted, “I don’t really associate myself with stillness or even patience, although I try for patience. I’m not sure that I’m exactly capable of, like, what most people would think of stillness, but I think of Rebecca as a much more still person than I am."

“I don’t think I’m really like Rebecca at all, except for that I want love and a partner and I hold onto love,” she added.
