Brett Goldstein Got Real About If He Can Write A Script Without Swearing, And His Response Had Big Roy Kent Energy

by

As a die-hard fan of Brett Goldstein, I can say with certainty that his love for the f-bomb is as deep and unwavering as my love for his work. It’s like they say, if you know, you know! His latest confession about struggling to write without swearing just goes to show that he’s got more Roy Kent in him than we ever thought possible.

In essence, when Brett Goldstein appears in a production, it’s likely that you’ll catch him uttering at least one strong profanity. However, there are exceptions to this rule, such as his stint on Sesame Street. Generally speaking, he is known for his use of explicit language, a trait he seems fond of. In fact, he has openly discussed whether he could compose without using curse words. Remarkably, his response reflects the character Roy Kent quite distinctly.

In the television lineup for 2024, the second season of “Shrinking” will air, with Goldstein taking on the role of the emotionally poignant character Louis. Recently spotted promoting the show, this versatile actor and co-creator has earned a reputation as a jack-of-all-trades in the entertainment industry. In an interview with The AP, he was asked if it’s possible to write something without using profanity, and this is his response:

Reflecting on my previous works, I find myself puzzled. Interestingly enough, I am currently working on a piece. One of the things I’m working on is essentially an attempt to explore a different approach – trying to write something suitable for families, without using explicit language. However, I must admit that I’m finding it quite challenging. It seems that certain scenes would carry more impact if they could express frustration with the phrase ‘fuck it.’ Although I believe I can pull it off, I feel that the end result might not be as compelling without this element.

This response has big Roy Kent energy to me. While Goldstein responded in a less grumbly and explicit way, his adamant energy regarding the word “fuck” is something I think his AFC Richmond coach-turned-player would agree with.

Wow, Roy’s frequent use of profanity on the show “Ted Lasso” has led his niece Phoebe to reprimand him for it, even making him pay her a penalty each time he slips up. This struggle to avoid swearing was also noticeable in his recent interview, as if the effort to control his language was palpable.

As a gaming enthusiast, if you’ve tuned into any late-night talk shows featuring the comedian, you’d recognize that familiar bleep sound. Among the Ted Lasso cast members, it’s undeniably him who lets loose with the most colorful language. And when he bagged an Emmy in 2021 for his role as Roy, an expletive slipped out right away during his acceptance speech – a testament to how he was advised to keep things clean.

So, you know, I get why he said that it’d be hard to not incorporate cursing into his work.

Indeed, it’s intriguing to learn about the potential family-oriented project this individual seems to be working on. It’s worth mentioning that both Shrinking and Ted Lasso are delightful series that offer warmth, care, and fun suitable for everyone (with a few occasional adult language elements). Given his past work, I have confidence in his ability to create an engaging story that appeals to all age groups.

The question is: Is he willing to do it?

It seems that only experience can confirm this, much like the character Roy Kent, who’s known for his colorful language. Therefore, it’s unlikely that we’ll ever see him delivering a script that is entirely suitable for young audiences (PG-rated).
