Natasha Lyonne is feeling nostalgic for her time filming the hit mockumentary series “Documentary Now!” The actress took to Instagram to share a special memory with co-star Aidy Bryant, expressing her wish to wake up to this cherished memory “every morning please and thanks.”
In the image posted to her account, Lyonne shared a candid behind-the-scenes moment from the set of “Documentary Now!” in Iceland. The photo captures Aidy Bryant and Fred Armisen (known as @sordociego on Instagram), looking cozy and cheerful, with Lyonne affectionately referring to them as “Cutie pies” in her caption.
For those unfamiliar with the reference, “Documentary Now!” is the critically acclaimed IFC mockumentary series created by Fred Armisen, Bill Hader, Seth Meyers, and Rhys Thomas. The show parodies famous documentaries and documentary styles with meticulous attention to detail and stellar performances from guest stars.
Lyonne has been part of the show’s recent seasons, appearing in episodes that take the team to various filming locations around the world, including Iceland.
This nostalgic post comes during a busy period for Lyonne, who has been deeply involved in multiple high-profile projects. Just days before this throwback post, Lyonne shared her excitement about “The Residence” being the #1 show on Netflix.
Lyonne has also recently celebrated meeting filmmaker Lily Wachowski, captioning it: “best day of my life fur-rea. We’ve entered The Matrix, babies!” The post showed her evident admiration for the director and included a stream of celebratory emojis.
Additionally, Lyonne has been promoting her upcoming Peacock project, “Poker Face,” scheduled for release on May 8.
Lyonne’s career has experienced a significant renaissance in recent years. The actress, who first gained widespread recognition in films like “American Pie” and earlier as a child actor in “Pee-wee’s Playhouse,” has transformed into a multifaceted industry force.
In late April, she was featured on the cover of Parade magazine, which highlighted her work on “Poker Face” and described her as a “true icon, on and off screen.” The feature discussed her passion for directing, personal health changes like quitting smoking, and her approach to supporting friends in the industry.
Born in New York City to Orthodox Jewish parents with Hungarian Jewish heritage, Lyonne’s career spans decades from her childhood roles to her current status as an acclaimed actor, director, and producer. Her candid personality and distinctive voice have made her a beloved figure in the entertainment industry.
The “Documentary Now!” memory she shared seems to represent the kind of genuine creative connection that has defined her recent career phase – one where friendship and artistic collaboration blend seamlessly.
As fans commented on the post, it’s clear that Lyonne’s nostalgic look back at her time with Bryant in Iceland resonated with followers who appreciate both the show and the authentic behind-the-scenes relationships that contribute to creating such memorable moments.
