Melanie Lynskey Says She Had 'Too Much Chemistry' With Paul Giamatti On 'Win Win,' So Scenes Were Cut

Melanie Lynskey reveals which co-star she had the hottest chemistry with.

Lynskey has revealed his dream rom-com cast will be opposite 'Win Win' co-star Paul Giamatti during an interview with SiriusXM's Jessica Shaw at 92nd Street Y. The 'Yellowjackets' star had a supporting role in the 2011 sports drama, directed by Giamatti.

"Years ago I did a movie with Paul Giamatti and a few scenes had to be cut because we had too much chemistry," Lynskey revealed. "And the director, Tom McCarthy, who I trust a lot, said to me, 'That's not what we're looking for at this time.'

She added: "Since then, I have wanted to do a romantic comedy with Paul Giamatti!"

Lynskey said, "Right now all I can think is I want to do a comedy. And the next thing is not a comedy. I can't say what it is. , but that's another tragic thing."

His next project is set during the Holocaust, based on the novel "The Tattoo Artist of Auschwitz". Co-starring 'The Little Mermaid' actor Jonah Hauer-King.

Lynskey also recently collaborated with real-life partner Jason Ritter on the Hulu true crime limited series "Candy," HBO's "The Last of Us," and "Yellowjackets" Season 2.

“He would do anything, I think. He really would. I mean, I want them to cast whoever they want to cast,” Lynskey said of Ritter joining the viral Showtime series. I'm never gonna push my husband on them. But they should know he would in a second. Ritter is joining the show in an as-yet-undisclosed role.

Lynskey also opened up about how appearances on the romantic comedy 'Sweet Home Alabama' and the sitcom 'Two and a Half Men' have influenced how she views herself. "I really want to be on screen portraying an interesting person who doesn't care what their stomach looks like," the 'The Last of Us' actress said, adding, "If there were more people who look like me [on screen], so I wouldn't have to talk about it so much.”

Her husband Ritter applauded Lynskey's body shaming on the internet, writing on Twitter in January 2022: "If anyone has any other unsolicited comments about someone else's body, they can feel free to write them in permanent ink on their own forehead and his swan plunge straight into the sun."
