On Sunday, when Jason Sudeikis gave his Golden Globe acceptance speech for winning for his role in the comedy series Apple TV + Ted Lasso, fellow nominee in the category, Don Cheadle, could be seen making “wrap” gestures on the screen while Sudeikis worked overtime – a move that ignited social media with people wondering if there was a feud between the two.
In the virtual press room at the end of the night, however, a smiling Sudeikis clarified everything.
“Hey, this is just Kansas City love,” he said, referring to the city he and Cheadle are from. “If someone were to tell me … He knew that I would hear him, that’s all. Many people are unaware that he is an excellent stage manager, as well as an icon of American acting. The guy has a way, you know? “
Sudeikis also answered questions about his much-discussed choice of casual clothing from a tie-dye sweatshirt, explaining that it is branded merchandise from his sister’s dance and training studio in New York.
“I believe that when the people you care about do cool and interesting things, you should support them, so it’s no different,” he said. “I have a plethora of sweatshirts for a plethora of things that I believe in and support, but this seemed the most appropriate.”
When asked how he felt about being the first person to accept a Golden Globe wearing such an outfit, he joked: “If you look back at Audrey Hepburn, Funny Face she also wore a sweatshirt … No, that’s not true. “
He also decided not to talk about the content of his successful program Ted Lassonext season. “I know everything, but I won’t say a word. I will be sued by Apple. I don’t want that heat, you don’t want that heat, ”he told the reporter. “I’m saving us both!”
