Twenty years after meeting on the set of The Office, the former costars remain closer than ever. In fact, they often hang out together, with B.J. describing Mindy as “way up there” on his list of best friends.
“She is just so funny and interesting,” B.J. exclusively told Erin Lim Rhodes and Will Marfuggi during the E! @ Poker Face Season Two Premiere livestream event May 1, “that I’ll talk to her as long as she’ll talk to me.”
He even noted that he spoke to Mindy about his part on the Peacock series.
“I was driving somewhere with my friend Mindy Kaling—no big deal—and I told her last night about the show,” B.J. shared. “I described my character and we got to the to the restaurant before I could finish.”
He continued, “So, I can’t even describe my role because it’s so complicated, but it was really, really cool.”
