Anna Faris has revealed she would consider joining the cast of Bravo’s Real Housewives franchise if given the opportunity. The 48-year-old actress stated she would “take the call” if approached by Bravo executive Andy Cohen about appearing on the popular reality television series.
Faris, who was previously married to actor Chris Pratt, made the surprising admission about her potential interest in reality TV, suggesting a possible new direction for her career. The statement has caught the attention of fans of both the actress and the long-running reality franchise.
From Hollywood to Reality TV?
Faris has built her career primarily in comedy films and television, becoming known for roles in movies like “Scary Movie,” “The House Bunny,” and her long-running sitcom “Mom.” Her interest in potentially joining a reality show marks a departure from her scripted work.
The actress’s openness to joining the Real Housewives cast comes at a time when many celebrities are exploring reality television as an additional avenue for their careers. The franchise has occasionally featured women with entertainment backgrounds, though typically those with connections to the specific city’s social circles.
If Faris were to join, she would follow other actresses who have made the transition to the reality franchise, including Denise Richards and Garcelle Beauvais, who both joined “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” after established acting careers.
The Andy Cohen Connection
Andy Cohen, who serves as an executive producer for the Real Housewives franchise and hosts “Watch What Happens Live,” is known for his role in casting decisions across the various city-based installments of the show. Faris specifically mentioned she would respond positively if Cohen reached out regarding a potential role.
Cohen has not publicly commented on Faris’s interest in joining the franchise. The producer typically looks for women with existing connections to current cast members or those who are already part of the social fabric of the featured cities.
The Real Housewives franchise currently includes shows set in several locations including Beverly Hills, New York City, Atlanta, and Salt Lake City, among others. It remains unclear which city’s cast would be most appropriate for Faris if she were to join.
Personal Life in the Public Eye
Faris’s mention of her previous marriage to Chris Pratt in connection with her interest in the show suggests she might be willing to discuss aspects of her personal life on camera. The couple was married from 2009 to 2018 and shares a son.
Since her divorce from Pratt, Faris has maintained a relatively low profile regarding her personal life. She married cinematographer Michael Barrett in 2021 in a private ceremony.
The Real Housewives franchise is known for featuring the personal and professional lives of its cast members, often highlighting their relationships, family dynamics, and conflicts with other cast members. Participants typically open up significant portions of their private lives to viewers.
Fans of both Faris and the franchise have expressed mixed reactions on social media, with some excited about the possibility of seeing the actress in a new context, while others question whether she would be a good fit for the often-dramatic reality show format.
Neither Bravo nor Faris’s representatives have made official statements regarding any concrete plans for her to join the cast of any Real Housewives show. For now, her comment remains simply an expression of interest rather than a confirmed career move.
