The Newsroom star Alison Pill talks about working on the HBO journalism drama, and also reveals her taste in men, which apparently includes a new category known as “lumbersexual,” which she explains.
“When I heard the word lumbersexual – I think to everyone who is in our mutual acquaintances, this is a new term,” Alison said, explaining that it basically describes a variant of a metrosexual, and she’s dating one.
“Now there’s lumbersexual, which I believe is like a straight bear,” she explains - referring to the masculine type of gay man who typically is stocky and furry - but also with a bit of a hipster vibe. She adds that she definitely considers her current boyfriend a lovable combo best described as a “lumbersexual bear.”
Alison also speaks about playing Maggie Jordan on The Newsroom – which recently aired its series finale episode – saying the conclusion of the show was bittersweet.
“Did I cry when I wrapped, no it was sort of this funny weird thing – it was so unbelievable that we would be done, that I don’t think it really struck anybody,” she said. “It still hasn’t fully set in that I won’t be going back this spring to see everybody and to go back to the bullpen.”
