Jessica Biel shares her workout routine, and Justin Timberlake has a hilarious and empathetic reaction
No one wants to disappoint Jessica Biel.
That’s why when the 7th Heaven star suggested her friend Jackie Thone drop out of the University of Delaware to focus on her acting career, the actress jumped at the chance no one else would have asked for.
“I don’t know if she admits this or not, but she was the one who convinced me to drop out of college,” Tone, 45, told Dax Shepard on the July 13 episode of the Armchair Expert podcast, adding, “It wasn’t a difficult persuasion.”
“I was literally like, ‘I can’t live here, I don’t have a place to live,'” Tone continued in conversation with Beal. “And she said, ‘Let’s move in with my family.’ And I was like, ‘See you, Delaware!’ ”
And although the then-18-year-old GLOW actress had just met the then-17-year-old New Year’s Eve star at the TV Guide Awards the day before, the Biels embraced her like a second daughter.
“Jess’s mother, Kim Beal, taught me how to write a check. She literally taught me how to pump gas,” Tone said. “I left home very young. I only went to college for one semester. I only got my driver’s license for a year.”
