Glee alum Idina Menzel reflected on the moment she got the call to play Lea Michele’s mom on the hit series: 'It just wasn't great for the ego, but I sucked it up.'
"The gig came three months after I popped a baby out," she said during a Tribeca Film Festival event at the time.
"So, I felt fat as all hell, and I was Lea Michele's mom—like, could I just be her older sister? She wasn't as young as she was playing so it was like, ‘Really, I'm her mom?'""I was happy to be there and work with those people," she shared. "But I had to get over myself a little bit."
