Welcome To The Good Place
ELLE Australia|October 2018

Jameela Jamil is the breakout star of Netflix’s The Good Place, and she’s on a mission to make women feel great about themselves

Welcome To The Good Place

FACT: JAMEELA JAMIL’S CHARACTER, TAHANI, gets the best lines on The Good Place. Tahani, a vain, pretentious British socialite who has gone to “the good place”, ie heaven, along with Eleanor (Kristen Bell) and an omnipotent God-like creature played by Ted Danson, has a penchant for namedropping and frequently delivers gems like, “I am an expert at mediating conflict. Like when my friends Scary, Sporty, Posh, and Baby had an issue with my other friend Archbishop Desmond Tutu.” Or, “You know, sometimes a flaw can make something even more beautiful. Like with Cindy Crawford and how short she is.” But possibly the best Tahani line, the one everyone remembers, is this: “You know, I haven’t been this upset since my good friend Taylor was rudely upstaged by my other friend, Kanye, who was defending my best friend, Beyoncé.” It’s Jamil’s favourite Tahani line, and it happens to be the one quoted back to her by none other than the actual Beyoncé, whom Jamil met at a party recently. “She told me she’d seen the show, and I almost died,” says Jamil. “I had to run away. I apologised to her, you know, because my character is so obsessed with her. But she was very sweet, very direct.”
