Actor Bobby Cannavale squirmed in his seat during an appearance on Today on Monday morning as host Craig Melvin grilled him about his “imminent wedding” to Rose Byrne.
Bobby, 54, joined Craig, 45, in the studio to promote his new film Ezra, which also stars his partner Rose, and the presenter couldn’t resist asking the The Watcher actor about working with her and also about their wedding plans.
In a rather awkward moment, Craig said: ‘I read that she gave an interview last year where she said: “the wedding is imminent, it’s going to happen…”‘ to which Bobby replied: ‘She said that? I didn’t see that interview.’
‘Do you want me to read it to you?’ Craig responded as Bobby replied: ‘No, it’s fine!’ before bursting into laughter and admitting, “We’re fine,” as he shrugged and looked around the studio looking quite uncomfortable before adding, “Yeah, right.”
Craig clearly took the hint and said, “Okay, okay,” before quickly wrapping up the interview and telling Bobby, “The movie looks good, again.” Bobby Cannavale, always a pleasure.

‘Our life is really just… apart from raising children, it’s just programming, everything is programming. And that’s why we do everything we can to stay together, we always say: “we have to keep the band together”, so we take the kids with us wherever we go and we try to work here as much as we can.

“It’s definitely something we’ll do,” she told the publication, adding, “I love going to weddings.” I have been a bridesmaid twice, I loved it. Everyone else has stopped being a bridesmaid and I’m like, I loved it. I found it very entertaining.’
