Debra Messing has revealed the former NBC president wanted “bigger boobs” on the set of Will & Grace.
During the special “The Impact of Will & Grace: 25 Years Later,” the comedian revealed that the then-president of the network did everything she could to get her character on the popular sitcom, interior designer Grace Adler, to make little physical changes . “The very first fitting was chicken breast to increase my bust size. I was not at all a fan of this concept in its entirety. So I said, ‘I don’t need that,'” she said, according to People.

The Along Came Polly actress didn’t give up. “They said to me, ‘It’s the president of the network saying that,’ and I said, ‘Well, let him come and say it to my face.’ »
Will & Grace aired from 1998 to 2006. The series then returned to prime time for three more seasons, from 2017 to 2020, with Debra Messing, Eric McCormack, Megan Mullally and Sean Hayes. The actress previously said of the revival, “Reconnecting with all of these characters as middle-aged people (who face middle-aged issues) has been a gift for all of us.”
