So, it is a tough task for Nicole and co-star Javier Bardem to play both Lucy and Ricky Ricardo and Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. While many fans haven’t been happy with the casting choice, Aaron reminds them that it is a more serious role because it focuses on Lucille’s real-life marriage. He stands by the choice to cast Nicole.

Nicole admitted that she is honored to play the part. She said of Lucille, “She was a trailblazer. She formed her production company. Desi was Cuban, and she had to fight to get him on the show. They had just so many things in their marriage that are so relevant today, and what she was also dealing with in terms of everything that artists deal with, where you’re up against big corporations. And you’re like, ‘No, this is art.’”
