The married couple of Real-Life, Alison Brie and Dave Franco, made “Hot Ones against” to promote their next horror film of the body, “Together”. In the show, the married pair learned that there were things that they still do not know about each other.
On the spin-off “Hot Ones”, the couple asked themselves a series of pre-written questions. If they were mistaken or refused to answer, they had to eat a spicy wing as a penalty. During the second series of questions, Franco asked Brie who was his first favorite of childhood celebrities.
Brie was not satisfied with Franco’s response – but not how you might think.
“I’m sorry, no!” Exclaimed Brie. “Helen Mirren was your first crush on childhood?” What?”
“To be beautiful?” Replied Franco.
Franco first noted Jennifer Love Hewitt on her board of directors – an actress only six years her senior, as opposed to 40 years. Brie insisted that it was the real answer. Although Franco tried to defend himself, Brie did not accept that the answer was written in good faith – especially not with a punishment of death on the line.
“What would you have seen Helen Mirren when You Were a child? Brie pushed.
“She’s like James Dean,” said Franco. “It is just emblematic to be the person they are.”
“It’s Bulllllsh-T!” Brie retreded. You can look at the full clip below.
At this stage of the video, Brie and Franco had already eaten wings, immediately starting the couple. Franco gave Brie some clues to point to Mirren as his childhood crush. He said they were not both children at the same time, but that it “will always be emblematic”. However, the actor took the loss and volunteered to eat a wing with his wife after making him no favor with the answer.
Brie and Franco stopped by “Hot Ones” as part of a marketing campaign for “Ensemble”. The actors strongly relied on their real world relationship for the press tour, promoting a film that sees them playing a fictional couple that begins to merge into a body horror fusion. It is a metaphor for “toxic codependence” adopted to the degree of disgust.
The couple played their wedding throughout their “hot” appearance, brie by licking Franco’s fingers on several occasions. At the end of the video, Franco (delusional of the overexposition of the spicy sauce) became chaotically brie arms to accomplish a series of tasks for her while standing behind her back.
“I want to go home,” Marmonna Franco.
“Together” will be released in theaters on July 30.
