After 22 years of marriage, Nick Offerman still can’t believe how lucky he is to have wife Megan Mullally.
“I wake up in the morning and it’s like there’s something in my butthole,” he exclusively told Page Six at the premiere of the Netflix miniseries “Death by Lightning” earlier this week. “And I looked over and Megan looked like a fawn designed by Pixar.”
“Like, I’m supposed to look like a crouton first thing in the morning, but she looks so gorgeous, so I run downstairs and wash the dishes and do my best to get her to stick around for another day,” he continued.
The Parks and Recreation alum, 55, who married Mullally, 66, in 2003, also called his wife “amazing.”
“I’ve been crunching the numbers. … I believe she’s a great person at the highest level,” he joked.
Offerman will play President Chester Arthur in the historical drama “Death by Lightning,” which tells the story of President James Garfield. After Garfield was assassinated by Charles Guiteau in 1881, Arthur became President of the United States.
The “The Last of Us” alum admitted he knew little about Garfield and only knew Guiteau from when he directed the 1990 musical “Assassins.”
“The story of Garfield and Chester Arthur was completely new to me,” he said.
A woodworking enthusiast, Offerman has also published a book titled “Little Woodchucks: A Guide to Offerman Woodshop Tools and Tom Foolery,” which provides instructions for woodworking projects for children.
It’s a topic he’s passionate about.
“I grew up in a household where everyone in the family learned how to make things with their hands,” he explained. “In the kitchen…we make our own clothes, we mend them, we build them, right? This is a farmhouse, so we make a living tactically with our hands.”
Offerman added that he believes corporations and tech billionaires “all want us all to go to our rooms, isolate ourselves, and live our lives through screens.”
“I don’t want any company to do the thinking and driving for me,” he said, stressing that we need to focus on people rather than screens.
“I want to continue to make a living with my clumsy mammalian voice, have my wife kiss me, and love my family,” he continued. “I can’t give my iPad any love. That’s the most important thing. Our love.”
