Toy Story 5’s Joan Cusack Shares Why She Stepped Away From Hollywood

And her oldest son was there to emphasize he was “so proud” his mom was getting her flowers in the upcoming Disney movie, which hits theaters June 19. 

“It’s her night and it’s her story,” he said. “It sounds like an amazing story to tell.”

Meanwhile, Cusack was floored to have not only fellow voice actors Tom Hanks, Tim Allen and Conan O’Brien at the premiere—but also Taylor Swift, who penned an original song “I Knew It, I Knew You” for the film. 

As she put it, “It means so many more people will come see the movie so yay.”

Of course, the Shameless alum has made plenty of waves herself during press for the latest Toy Story film. 

Last month, she made her first red carpet appearance in 11 years for the film’s U.K. premiere—and has teased that her character has the biggest arc in the upcoming film. 

“It’s Jessie’s story,” Cusack said during an interview with Virgin Radio UK May 28. “It’s glorious.”
