Despite the phenomenal success of the masterpiece that is The Bear, reporters at Sunday night's Golden Globes felt the need to bring up Jeremy Allen White's recent Calvin Klein ad to the show's cast.
But his Bear costars, especially Ayo Edebiri, weren't having any of it.
The FX series had a remarkable night, winning the award for Best Television Series - Musical or Comedy. Additionally, White won for Best Actor in the same category while Edebiri took home the Best Actress award.
Still, White's viral underwear ad was the topic of discussion.
While speaking with Extra, the entire cast was shown a blown-up photo of White in his, well, whites, and asked:
“What went through your mind when you saw this?”
Without hesitation, Edebiri stepped forward, took the photo, turned it around and placed it against a wall, explaining:
“I’m putting it away… That’s my boy! This is a work function, do you know what I mean?”
Costar Abby Elliott also added:
“This is our family!”
You can watch below.
Another video from the red carpet shows Access Hollywood showing the same ad to Edebiri and Abbott Elementary's Quinta Brunson.
Once again, Edebiri voiced her displeasure.
“I’m happy for him, that’s my boy, but I want people to understand he’s my coworker.”
Yes, chef!
You can watch that moment below.
And people on social media don't blame her at all.
as she should bc everywhere he turns they’re asking

bringing up that picture was so unnecessary on a whole lot level seeing how the mood became awkward. sydney definitely stood on business calling this out

this segment definitely weirded them all out. they're all just there awkwardly laughing and so done of this

I’m glad she did this. he looked so uncomfortable and embarassed. It’s rare to see men have to laugh through stuff like this, but whew! She even lightened the mood afterwards, what a queen.

Like he looked fine as hell but this was just unnecessary. These interviewers be doing too much

she is SICK AND TIRED of them bringing it up

a blown up poster is insane and what did he want them to say? do better Extra (Melvin Robert’s) this is out of pocket and would be extremely weird if it was a picture of a woman.

Ok, this was such a "save your best friend" moment. I love it, and he looks relieved. Also, it fits seamlessly with their Bear characters.

She's rightfully sick of it. Just ask them stuff about the project they were on and let them go. I'm sure that's what they want at that point 😖

The man is there for an award for his work and you’re blowing up half naked photos of him to show to his coworkers? Rude and disrespectful

In the press room after his Golden Globe win, White also fielded several questions about his Calvin Klein campaign, acknowledging the viral nature of the ad has been "bizarre."
“It is strange."
“It’s been a weird couple of days. It is bizarre doing a Calvin Klein ad and it is even more bizarre having it come out.”

We're definitely happy to see his other successes celebrated, as well.
Congrats to the entire cast of The Bear!
