At the weekends, Nick Offerman likes nothing more than to sit at home with his wife, Will and Grace’s Megan Mullally, doing puzzles while listening to an audiobook – “Which, by the way, is a huge life hack,” he says enthusiastically. “Those two activities use different parts of your brain and allow you to really lock into each of them.”
One day, Mullally had a brainwave: the pair should dress up and recreate the picture on the puzzle they had just finished, complete with cameos from their dogs. “So we would finish doing a Sunday of this activity and then Megan would say: ‘OK, great, now come up with me to my closet so I can dress us up,’” Offerman continues. “And of course, like a whiny kid, I was like: ‘Can we please get this over with?’ In hindsight, those pictures may end up being the greatest work we’ve ever done.”
