In an interview with Page Six, Kinsey once again made it known that she couldn’t be more different from the Angela we saw on “The Office.” “In real life, I’m super chatty,” she said. “I love to talk anyone up.” In spite of that fact, some fans apparently can’t help but see her as the holier-than-thou cat lady from the show. “People would see me and not approach me,” she added.
Kinsey recounted that she was once traveling with Brian Baumgartner, who played fellow accountant and lovable dumb guy Kevin Malone on the show. During the trip, people would gleefully yell “Kevin!” when they saw him. However, Kinsey recalled that she received a much different reception from everyone. “Then I poked my head around, and they’re like, ‘Oh no, Angela’s here. We better behave,'” she said.
The actress also dished on the reaction she and Wilson got whenever something happened with Angela and Dwight on the show. “Rainn and I used to crack up because Jenna [Fischer] and John [Krasinski] as Jim and Pam would get press, it would be like, ‘Oh, Jim and Pam, this week they’re getting engaged on ‘The Office.’ And everyone would be like on the comment board, ‘Oh, I can’t wait. Jim and Pam, yay!'” she said.
“And then when it would be like, ‘Dwight and Angela revealed to be having a kid,’ and everyone would be like, ‘Ew.’ So, Jim and Pam got, ‘Aw’ and Dwight and Angela got, ‘Ew.,” the actress added.
