Ali Wong and Steven Yeun take us inside the making of Netflix's 'Beef,' a road-rage thriller series so intense they both broke out in hives after the shoot.
“Aren’t we all attracted to road rage?” Yeun asks, later adding, “We’re not living only just in the metal box on the road, we’re also living in the metal box in our own minds, on our screens. Everything’s tailor-made to an individual existence now. Things are rarely feeling shared. So I could see why we think everybody’s the enemy and everyone’s out to get each other.”
Wong, who divorced husband Justin Hakuta in 2022, is guarded on exactly where the lines between her and Amy blur, but admits the show “gave me the opportunity to talk about a lot of things that I haven’t found a way to talk about in my stand-up.” The pair remain close, Wong says. Hakuta, a fixture in her comedy, encouraged her to take a role on the Amazon sci-fi serieswithout having acted in four years.
“I felt like people were supposed to come out of the pandemic nicer,” says Wong, “but there’s big asshole energy going on right now.”
