The duo shared their reaction to Jeremy Allen White's stripped down photoshoot with ET at the 2024 Golden Globes.
Lots of people felt the flames stoke their passions after Jeremy Allen White stripped down to his underwear for Calvin Klein's spring 2024 campaign, but none more than his The Bear co-star, Ayo Edebiri, and actor Ramy Youssef.
ET chatted with the 28-year-old comedian on the red carpet of the 81st Golden Globe Awards on Sunday, where she and Youssef, 32 -- who has directed an episode of the FX series -- confessed they were quite moved by the 32-year-old actor's Mert Alas-directed photoshoot.
According to the photographer, the shoot aimed to showcase White's "connection to the city and amplify his empowered energy," with Calvin Klein's designs.
"I found it to be chilling," Youssef joked. "I found it to be uncomfortable for me. I haven't eaten since I've seen it. I don't know if you have, I feel weak."
Edebiri quipped that she had been inspired to step up her weight training regimen after the shoot was released, adding, "I'm bulking up. So I'm eating, I'm on the protein, I'm on the creatine."
"I'm bulking and I'm getting fit," she continued as Youssef noted that the new routine is obviously "working."
"The plan is to double them by spring and then we'll work on the abs after that," she explained, adding that abs are "second quarter" and "quads [are] Q3. And then, back up to the arms, actually. We're leaving the rest of the leg, we're leaving it alone."
Edebiri, who rocked a glam look done by celebrity makeup artist Dana Delaney using Benefit Cosmetics products, and who is nominated for her role as Sydney Adamu in The Bear alongside White, also joked that she and Youssef were revealing an upcoming crossover between the series and Poor Things, in which Youssef plays Max McCandless.
"So the whole show has been like a dream sequence, and actually, if you watch the movie, Poor Things, all of those characters are dreaming of a restaurant in Chicago," she teased. "And the third season sort of reveals that, so there's finally a Poor Things/The Bear crossover that I'm sure many fans of niche entertainment have been waiting for."
Youssef added that the big reveal of the show's third season would be that "Ayo's character does not have a brain," which both comedians concluded would be named "Poor Bear."
Fans are definitely not ready for that crossover!
