But you still can't get out of the way of yourself.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
Yeah. And if I'm not perfect, what value do I have?

Regina King directed this episode.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
Yeah, first. Baby, probably gonna be like 24 hours.

More That Was Us after this short break. Whether I'm tackling the chaos of life as a new parent yet again or juggling a packed schedule on set, it's Peloton that helps keep me balanced. Peloton has everything you need to keep on track with your goals no matter what season of life you're in.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
I love that even if you have 10, 15, 20 minutes or something, you can get an incredible workout in. You can get on the bike, on the tread. You could do a floor workout. Like it sort of covers the gambit and Peloton always keeps you on track.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
The Pearson schedule was always packed with the big threes activities. So whether you're reminiscing about the pre-kids sports meditation era or you're in a full parent-on-the-go mode, Peloton has the classes and support to keep you moving forward. Take some time for yourself, again, whether it's 10, 20, 45 minutes, and explore everything you've ever wanted to try. It's all at your fingertips.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
Yeah, I'm never gonna sleep again, what?
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
I mean, I guess it's just like, they are the ultimate teachers. And I felt the same way as you described Sterling. It's like, it just, everything makes sense. All the cliches, life is in technicolor. You're just like, oh, this is what I'm meant to be doing. This is who I am. And like the definition of that keeps morphing and evolving.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
And now I'm also this person, I'm this kind of mother, I'm this kind of wife, I'm this kind of partner. I think children in my experience, like they are, they're the ultimate teachers of like how to be present because you cannot be, you can't be a good parent unless you are present. And you can't help but, like, you have to be with them. You have to be all eyes on them.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
You're quite literally keeping them alive. You're their only survival mechanism for the first couple years.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
I just, yeah, I feel like looking at them and living with them, it's like they are the ultimate reminder of not living on our phones, not living like for anybody. Like you have to sort of be there with them and you want to be. It's not even like, it's not even a choice that you're making. It just, it is what it is. It is what it is.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
And coming to that acceptance of everything is a phase, the good, the bad, the joyful, the exhausting, everything in between, the sooner you can come to that recognition and that conclusion, the easier it sort of is.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
And it's easier each time. It is. Yeah, when you have that working knowledge.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
You think you're going to break them? You think they're going to break you? Sure. Emotionally?
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
And they do, and then you repair and rebuild yourself, and you're stronger for the next go-round. You're stronger for the next phase.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
But also, I think there are more tools in the toolbox to bring to work so it makes it more enjoyable in that respect.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
And... And you know that like, to me, having the privilege of like being on a show like this and having a job that we love so much, it was like, it further instilled in me like, oh, if I can be so lucky to be able to make the choices of what really matters,
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
And take those life lessons.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
It was funny though. We were like, oh, I get, we were so caught up in like the moment and it being real.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
And I think also because you have these sort of like guidelines where on network television, like you can't really, you have to shoot things from a certain perspective. So it's like, it was hard to, yes, for it to be depicted in a way that would make sense for the audience.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
I had, during this episode, I had hurt my eye. I had to have stitches.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
I cut my eye, like right under the eyebrow. And it was a freak thing. I had to like go in the middle of the night and get these emergency plastic surgery to have my eyes sewn up.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
I had a huge black eye. that had to be covered for this whole episode. And I was in prosthetics. It was a very tricky situation that Zoe Hay, who we'll be talking to later in this episode, we didn't get into this with her in this conversation, but they had to sort of like camouflage the bruise and the stitches.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
They covered it up, giving me my Cher makeup, which Milo and I are dressed as Sunny and Cher in this episode.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
They kind of did like a really crazy over the top, like smoky purple eye to sort of match the bruising that was already there. But then I, it had to be camouflaged for me and prosthetics because we hadn't really lived in this. We hadn't lived in this timeline before with obviously with, with all three of the children, but also with Rebecca.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
We hadn't sort of been aged to this. This was sort of middle ground between the, the time period in which Jack passes away and the present day where Rebecca's in her sixties. So this sort of lived in like the mid fifties, late fifties. So yeah, so we had also that to sort of deal with my weird freak accident.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
The happiest moments will also be the saddest.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
Like forever moving forward.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
I think that like realization hadn't dawned on her until...
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
Oh, I wrote down the middle can be the beginning sometimes.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
I never write it down verbatim.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
Well, I will sort of break the illusion of, you know, it's challenging to do these scenes on a phone when you're not talking to someone else on the other end most of the time.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
And when I'm talking to babies, obviously there is a finite amount of time that any parent would want to volunteer their tiny baby to be on a set. I believe there is a 20-minute cutoff. We can only shoot with babies for about 20 minutes. So we're not going to waste that time with them being in a bassinet with a monologue when the camera's on an actor that is not the tiny child.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
So you're either talking to a doll or you're talking to an empty bassinet. So I just remember in this particular instance, there was a robotic doll.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
Yeah, I'll just take a towel or something. So yeah, so in these scenes, I am in fact talking to a weird, erratically moving robotic doll.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
Yeah, that's pretty, pretty astounding.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
And in fact, they will be most likely.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
Ooh, what's happening here? The stakes feel a little different.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
There's some consideration there.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
How they came back into each other's life.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
Yeah, I was like, okay, that's an interesting way to end an episode.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
Well, the good news is we are in the last few weeks of the holidays. Yes, it is a fun and beautiful time that we've worked so hard for, but my gosh, it is also so stressful. As a mom on the go already, it's tough enough to keep track of everything before holiday planning comes into play. But luckily, there's Life 360 Tile Trackers to help keep track of everything.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
It's the easy-to-use tool that lets you keep track of everything from gadgets to people, and it doesn't alert anyone you don't want to of your whereabouts.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
Well, I have gotten this for my husband, who I love dearly, but sometimes is constantly looking for his keys, his phone, his wallet. He's lost some combination of those things. And it's like he only discovers it, obviously, as we're about to walk out of the door.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
And all of the instruments that he tracks when he's traveling and checks. Wow.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
You're like a real style icon right now, Zo. Yeah, all I'll say is the glasses are really good for makeup artists who work in the film business. It hides a multitude of things at four o'clock in the morning.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
So can I just jump into, if you love our show and you love the fact that there is this seamless transition between these characters aging up, aging down, that is thanks in large part to Zoe and her team.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
Acknowledged and nominated and all of that over the course of the series. Your work was just so unbelievable. And we all used to joke about... Signing on to a show like this, thinking we were doing just a simple, sweet, emotional family drama.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
And lo and behold, we're like in season six and you're aging eight, nine, 10 characters, 20 years at a time and, you know, have teams of people doing prosthetics and whatnot. So yeah. Just to kind of jump right in there, when you signed on to be a part of the show, did you have any idea that you would be working your butt off as much as you ended up doing over the course of six seasons?
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
Absolutely not. I had a friend who recommended me for the pilot. And the word she said to me is, it's just a little family. It's like a period show. Part of it is a period show. It's just like a family drama. I was like, oh, this sounds so chill. Yeah, I'd come off of OJ with 40 principles. And I thought, oh, this will be great. Yeah.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
But then I do remember the point where after the pilot was picked up and they were like, we're going to age Mandy into her 60s.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
Like if everybody doesn't completely buy it 100%, that was the other option. And Zoe, you can attest to this. Like we... we went through several iterations of hair and makeup tests to sort of land on the Goldilocks, like the right look.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
And that also sort of modified and changed over the course of maybe the first season or two, just with like the amount of appliances we would put on the face and just how far we would go for myself or for John or whatever. But I remember that very first hair and makeup test with another effects house that, you know, it wasn't the right look
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
for Rebecca or for Miguel, but I just remember us being like, Ooh, this is, this is a bridge too far.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
I had actually, in between doing the pilot and when we knew we were going to be aging Rebecca, I had done a commercial and they had wanted to age an actress from her twenties with two actresses playing in the park, but bridging all the ages and the transitions in between. And I was shooting in Uruguay and Malaysia and I knew I needed appliances that were going to stay on and look good.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
And I could do by myself, like I wasn't going to have an assistant there to help or anything.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
i knew i had worked with stevie before and his appliances and that was the first time i had used his age appliances and i was in the hotel room like gluing them on my leg to make sure i could do it and i did this commercial and then when after our first makeup test uh that was done by somebody else dan had approached me and he said do you happen to have anything in the trailer that we could use and i said actually i do yeah
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
And those were the pieces we initially used on Mandy for her for her first test. And that's where it grew. So I never had any doubts that it was going to be Stevie that was going to be doing.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
But what I liked about it was it's like a modular system. So you can build and it can kind of missed a potato headache. You know, you can use these cheeks and those wrinkles and this mouth and it's great.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
I do. I do. And I'm judging the facial hair right now, by the way.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
Don't think I ever miss a beat with you guys.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
Yes, well, I've certainly glued some on myself to make sure that they look good. Yeah, I love doing facial hair and that's something I've always done. It's a little specialty I do. So I was never afraid of jumping in with that with any of you gentlemen on the show. And I know that actually both of you, Sterling, we had to fake your facial hair several times.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
on and off and of course at the end of the season there where we when we went to San Francisco we shaved you Sully and had to rebuild your beard while you were growing it back in yes is that true yeah I feel like it would be a fun game and we've talked about this before for people to go through the course of the series and try to see if Milo's facial hair or any of yours quite frankly like what's real what's fudged a little bit what's totally just like glued on
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
Because again, Zoe, your work is so seamless. Thank you so much. It's hard to see what's real and what's not.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
If you're looking at it, I did it wrong. I did it wrong. If you see it, I screwed up. That's my goal. I want the actors to look in the mirror when you're in the trailer, all of you to look in the mirror, and I just want you to see your character when you go out there.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
And I want you to be totally as comfortable as you can be with a piece of fabric and some hair glued on your face or prosthetics or whatever. But I want you to be able to go do your job and take it the rest of the way, you know?
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
Yeah. We do, as we affectionately called it, euthanizing.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
Yeah, that's what we call it. And a lot of skin prep, a lot of products, a lot of iPads. And I do distinctly remember Milo would arrive on his motorcycle and flip up his visor in the morning to show me he was wearing his iPads on the way home. His little patches on his eyes.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
Totally. All of that. And then, you know, we did some more extreme de-aging where we did some facelifts and neck lifts.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
We actually use like a surgical tape that they use. It's very thin and clear and you sort of pull one side up and.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
I had braces and I believe that was some computer. Oh.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
Hello. How are we doing today? Happy Halloween.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
It was the package. I mean, you wouldn't have bought it if it weren't for, you know, like the look had to, like it all had to work together.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
Some great, yeah, some great knits. Yeah, absolutely.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
Yeah, I mean, there was some, certainly it was a real collaboration because it had to work with the makeup, had to work with the hair and also the wardrobe. And, you know, Hala was so amazing at like helping us cover you up because we were like, although there was one scene of you in a bathing suit, I remember. Yes, with Chrissy. And we were like.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
A butter scotch. I had visions of your little neck waddle just sort of floating off.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
I think it was 12 people, if I'm not mistaken. And the hardest part was we designed that. We didn't know that. We always knew that there would be Chrissy and you and Justin at the bedside. That was always a given. Of course, we knew at a certain point, we knew Miguel would be much older too. Nobody ever thought Toby would make it that far. We did not.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
I'm going to make some prosthetics for him now. So that was, you know, and when we had all the spouses.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
Great. And some exes joined too.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
Yeah. And I would say that was the most challenging. I'm not sure. I know that at least two people were wearing like the same wrinkles as Mandy on her. Because the beauty of it is it moves so differently on everybody and the pieces are so small. So we're sort of like, oh, I think Mandy's eye bags will work on them. Yeah.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
So that helped us not have to re-sculpt things. Yeah. And by then, Stevie had such a big sort of stock of different things to choose from. So we sort of just... you know, picked bits and pieces, tied it together.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
Yeah. I mean, we certainly had, we had Mandy in a car crash. Oh, that's right. Yeah. Yeah. Lots of, uh, I believe. Yes. And some bloody bits and knees and things like that. Um, and I remember Justin, we did a swollen knee for, Oh, that's right. That was great.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
Yeah. I actually think Hannah's makeup was my favorite though, which I only got to do a couple of times. Stevie did that and that was taken over. And I thought that that was such a beautiful makeup. And again, one of those that nobody knew what she had on and we didn't really go into that during the show. And I felt that that was really beautifully done. It was. And worked as well. Yeah.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
But this was a nice little tasty morsel to sort of satiate us for now.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
And now hopefully you're going to air lots of beautiful things of you all, beautiful and younger, right? Yeah.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
I would say that Mandy was the easiest to take back. And I think I worked with you in your 20s.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
I don't want to hear a bit about it. I think when Mandy, when we worked with Because I Said So, you were in your 20s, right? I was, yeah. Yeah.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
Zoe and I worked on a movie together. Which movie? Because I Said So. Oh. Yeah, with Diane Keaton.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
If we were to ever do some sort of reboot of the show, I joke like, well, wouldn't need the prosthetics anymore.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
We love you. Thank you so much. It was lovely to see you. All right, bye-bye.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
Yeah, me too. I think we're going to be talking about Halloween costumes and see if Chris can fit into this one.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
Many people dressed up as the Pearsons. So let's take a look. Let's take a look at some of the best representations of the Pearsons.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
Jack and Rebecca. Oh, he's holding on to his mustache.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
Look at Sam. She's got the Steeler's jersey on.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
She's got the Rebecca Pearson hair happening.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
Handsome Bo. That's a handsome Jack. He didn't commit by cutting his hair, but we'll cut him some slack.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
Can we see photographic proof of this?
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
No, no, but can we put it on social media?
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
Yeah, when this episode airs, let's try to find a photo.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
Yeah, but I think it is more specifically, I mean, he obviously knows that he's adopted, but I think it's more specifically that there was another child, Kyle. We lost him.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
I love it. And the shirt, that's a perfect representation of, although Jack had the beard then, but yeah, it's okay.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
They're cute little baby dolls, but I have to say, are a Becca?
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
They nailed season three, episode one, costume to a tee.
That Was Us
20/20 Vision | "The 20's" (S2E6) with special guest Zoe Hay
