Anna Faris Considers Joining Real Housewives Amid New Projects

Los Angeles, CA – Actress Anna Faris shared her thoughts about potentially joining the Real Housewives franchise during an exclusive interview with Us Weekly on April 23. The 48-year-old actress, known for her role in Just Friends, expressed her reservations about fitting into the high-energy reality TV world.

Faris stated, “I was thinking the other day if I would make a good Real Housewife. I think I’m way too boring. I don’t know if I’m too nice.” She questioned whether her personality would translate well to the reality TV format, which often celebrates larger-than-life characters.

Explaining the difference between acting and reality TV, Faris said that acting allows her to play a character without acknowledging the camera. She reflected, “I don’t know if I would put on the whole pretense of ‘there’s no cameras.’” Despite her uncertainty, she would not hesitate to take a call from Bravo’s Andy Cohen if he invited her to join a show.

If a House Bunny sequel were ever in the works, Faris expressed enthusiasm about reprising her role as Shelley Darlingson. “That would be so fun,” she said. “I haven’t really explored it yet, but I feel like, fundamentally, I can be pretty quiet and reserved in my own skin.”

Faris shared her admiration for Bravo shows, stating, “I love all things Bravo” and mentioned her interest in Below Deck alongside her interest in the Real Housewives franchise. Despite the challenges, she admitted, “I would totally take the phone call.”

Meanwhile, Andy Cohen has hinted at potential improvements for The Real Housewives of New York City in its upcoming season. He said, “I think that there were some growth areas and I think that those will be dealt with next season.”

Outside of her career, Faris credits her son, Jack, for inspiring her to step out of her comfort zone, including trying new activities like roller coasters. She stated, “I’m really proud that I will go on any roller coaster or any water slide” for the sake of her son.
