“I've never had too much trouble letting work stay at work and honestly, you don’t really have the choice,” said the 35-year-old star. “You have to get home. Someone needs dinner, someone needs to get their pajamas on, then get in the bath, then get into bed and you can’t be smoldering in the corner like, 'Oh, this scene I did!'”
“No time for it!” Biel laughed. “Make dinner, get him to bed, you know?”
As for what her former *NSYNC heartthrob husband thinks about the series, which kicks off on the USA Network in August, Biel said is “really excited” for her.
“He's been such a huge supporter of this all along,” she shared. “He knows how much the material is interesting to me and what a great opportunity this is for me to do something really different.”
