New couple alert? Not so fast bro.
Over the weekend, Billy Eichner came across a clickbait article with the headline, “New Celebrity Relationships That Made Us Feel Better About 2021.” While the post sounds lovely, there’s just one problem: The article featured a photo of the Bros star posing next to Anna Kendrickinsinuating that they’re a couple.
So what’s a comedian going to do about it? Poke fun at the speculation of course, and maybe shoutout his upcoming movie.
“Um,” he wrote on Twitter with a screenshot of the article. “Hey @ AnnaKendrick47—Cats out of the bag !! Guys I know this is really bad timing with all the Bros stuff but… I’m straight. “
Anna also saw the article and chimed in, adding“We can finally live our truth Billy! You’ve felt so pressured to seem like a gay man that you made #BrosMovie but you’re free now! Our love can flourish!”
If that wasn’t funny enough, Mariah Carey saw the banter and commented on Instagram with the joy emoji.
