*Someone on Twitter tried to call out Verizon for casting a woman “hardly old enough” to be the mother of Rashida Jones, only to be set straight by the actress, herself, in front of the entire Twitterverse.
Twitter user Jessica Ferron called the casting “laughable,” completely unaware that the woman playing Jones’ mother in two Fios commercials is her real mother, actress Peggy Lipton — who looks nowhere near her 69 years.
it’s laughable that @verizonfios expects us to believe that @iamrashidajones‘ ‘mother’ is hardly old enough to be her mother. #notbuyingit

Rashida, whose dad is Quincy Jones, is 30 years younger than her mother, for the record.
