US Edition‘Hacks’ Stars Hannah Einbinder & Jesse McCartney Break Down Ava’s Surprise Party
The pop star sang “Beautiful Soul” at Ava’s surprise 30th birthday party in the show’s fifth season, a payoff years after an early fan exchange.
- Pop star Jesse McCartney surprised Ava Daniels on yesterday's Hacks Season 5 episode, performing his 2004 hit "Beautiful Soul" at her 30th birthday party, organized by her boss, Deborah Vance.
- The cameo materialized years after McCartney spotted his own poster in Ava's bedroom while watching Season 1, prompting him to direct message actress Hannah Einbinder to praise her performance.
- Einbinder admitted she was "crying, screaming, throwing up" while working with McCartney, later revealing she was "sobbing every single take" because she was a genuine Jesse McCartney stan.
- McCartney performed the song about half a dozen times for the scene, calling the unexpected collaboration a "full circle moment" with plenty of improvisation happening between takes.
- Prioritizing home life with his 11-month-old son, McCartney is opting for one-off shows this year rather than full-length tours to avoid missing special family moments.
