- Tucci revealed a TJ Maxx commercial that flips a quip from the sequel, joking he is a “tragically handsome actor” and a proud “Maxxinisto,” in a spot produced by Ryan Reynolds’ Maximum Effort team.
- In a new Today interview, Tucci says revisiting the story two decades later feels fresh because shifts in journalism, AI, and the internet now shape the world the characters move through.
- He credits costume designer Patricia Field with unlocking his eye for menswear during the first film, saying it expanded how he thinks about clothes.
- He shares a favorite find from his closet, a weathered 1940s Chicago police leather jacket made from horsehide that he discovered in a thrift shop and now keeps as a prized piece.
- He returns as Nigel in the sequel and leans into his off‑screen style persona, using interviews and a tongue‑in‑cheek retail tie‑in to extend the movie’s fashion‑first buzz.
