Nina Bloomgarden was shocked to learn that Ron Swanson aka Nick Offerman was going to play her on-screen dad in Peacock’s ‘The Resort’.

“My friends in high school, we were like obsessed with ‘Parks and [Recreation]’ so when… he was cast, my friends were like, ‘Oh my god! Ron Swanson,” Bloomgarden told Page Six, before gushing over his time filming with the actor.

“He’s the most amazing guy. He’s humble, he’s kind, he’s lived a billion lives, he’s mastered a million things, he’s written so many books,” she said, adding that it was a great experience to improvise with him.

The pair play a father and daughter on vacation in 2007 when the Bloomgarden character and another hotel guest go missing from a resort in Mexico.

Bloomgarden tells us she even took wand lessons from Offerman while they were on set together.

“There’s a scene where Nick actually teaches me how to use chopsticks because he spent a year in Japan doing Kabuki theater…and that, I think, came into the show, where he teaches me how to use chopsticks, so that was fun.”

Despite the show being set in Mexico, the cast toured Puerto Rico, which Bloomgarden says hasn’t always been a picnic.

“[There were] so many ups and downs,” she explains. “Their dish there is called mofongo, so whenever something went wrong for us – which happened a lot there – we were all like, ‘Oh, we just made ourselves mofongo,’ and that has become an inside joke for all of us.”

However, according to Bloomgarden, the weekends were “incredible” as the actors hit the beach, camp and hike together.

“It was like summer camp mixed with college,” she shares. “We were all family.”

‘The Resort’ – which follows a couple trying to solve an unsolved mystery while vacationing in Mexico – premieres July 28 on Peacock.
