Kaley Cuoco learned a lot about flight attendants from filming ‘The Flight Attendant’

Kaley Cuoco is opening up about her all-new TV show, The Flight Attendant, and what she learned about being a stewardess in the process.

PureWow recently sat down with the 33-year-old actress at an event in Manhattan celebrating the launch of Marshalls Surprise Box.

While there, she discussed the upcoming series, which is based on the namesake novel by Chris Bohjalian. In an attempt to get to know her character, a flight attendant named Cassandra Bowden, Cuoco studied the aviation staff on her recent trips to ensure she embodied the role to a T.

So, what exactly did she take away from the experience? “I learned that their hair always has to be back,” she said. “And they immediately change—on a long flight—out of their heels and put on their comfy shoes.” And honestly, same.

However, Cuoco admitted that she’s probably not cut out for a life in the skies. “I don’t know how flight attendants do it—I would be internally annoyed the entire time,” she said, adding, “They’ve got a lot of patience.”

The Big Bang Theory star went on to say that if there’s one thing she learned from being a flight attendant, it’s that you really do have to care about how the passengers feel.

She continued, “And you know some people have a fear of flying, and you’ve got to have some sort of empathy when you’re on a plane—so empathy is something I’m learning a lot about.”

Well, looks like we’ll be overly friendly to the next flight attendant we come across.
