Who is Rachel Brosnahan's husband, Jason Ralph? The Superman actress' beau starred alongside her in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and he helped her audition for the part of Lois Lane
Rachel Brosnahan is all the rage in Hollywood right now. The Emmy-winning actress starred in The Amateur alongside
Rami Malek earlier this year, and she has another blockbuster in tow: director James Gunn's Superman, in which she plays Lois Lane to
David Corenswet's Superman.
Speaking with Good Housekeeping, the 34-year-old revealed she found out she had booked the part while in the bathroom of an Aritzia store in New York's SoHo. 'I was praying that the toilet didn't flush behind me, but I didn't want to miss the call,' she recalled, adding, 'I picked up the phone and he just said, 'How'd you like to be the next Lois Lane?' I was very excited and then immediately nervous. I had big shoes to fill.'

However, before she could experience this dreamlike moment, Brosnahan had to earn her part. 'I made a tape in my living room with my husband,' she said, noting her hubby Jason Ralph's contribution to her audition, before quipping, 'He's really confused about why he's not playing Superman after his excellent off-camera reading.'
