“I asked him questions, which also, as a sports fan, I’m just interested in, but I was like, ‘On game day, what do you eat?’ And he was like, ‘Uncrustables. I’m just pounding Uncrustables,’” Heidi recalled during an interview on Today with Hoda & Jenna, via People.

She made sure to get some of the tasty treat for him to enjoy on set, and Heidi knew that it was successful. In fact, he said as much while they were rehearsing together.

“He leaned over into me right before lights up on the scene, and he was like, ‘I’ve been eating the Uncrustables all day.’ And I was like, ‘Cool,’” she said.
