The Bear stars Matty Matheson and Ebon Moss-Bachrach just opened up about their infamous Emmys kiss in vivid detail.
When their show won the award for Outstanding Comedy Series at the ceremony this January, the two men celebrated their win by passionately kissing on stage.
Now, in a new joint interview, Ebon, 47, asked Matty, 42: ‘What was going through your head when I kissed you at the Emmys?’
“You breathed so well and your tongue was so delicious. Did I expect that? Never,” Matty said with a serious face in a video for She.
“We didn’t have anything planned. We didn’t want to go viral,” he added with a sarcastic smile, at which point Ebon burst out laughing.
The Bear stars Matty Matheson and Ebon Moss-Bachrach spoke candidly about their infamous kiss at this year’s Emmy Awards.
When their show won best comedy series at the January ceremony, the two men celebrated their win by passionately kissing on stage.
In reality, both men have wives and children: Matty is married to his high school sweetheart Trish Spencer and Ebon to Ukrainian photographer Yelena Yemchuk.
Matty and Ebon became an internet sensation in January when they sealed their Emmy win by sharing a kiss on television.
Several people involved in the series took to the stage together to accept the award, including its high-profile stars Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri.
Matty, who in addition to playing the handyman on The Bear is also a producer on the show and a professional chef in real life, was chosen to give the speech.
But just as he was about to start, Ebon interrupted him, grabbed his face and kissed him on the mouth.
When the kiss ended, Matty joked, “I love you, Ebon,” drawing laughter from the audience of television luminaries who had gathered at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles.
The Bear stars Jeremy Allen White as tortured Michelin-starred chef Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto, whose promising career is forced to take a sudden turn.
When his brother (Jon Bernthal) commits suicide, he leaves Carmy’s Chicago sandwich shop to run with his motley crew.
Now, in a new joint interview, Ebon, 47, asked Matty, 42: ‘What was going through your head when I kissed you at the Emmys?’
In real life, both men have wives and children: Matty is married to his high school sweetheart Trish Spencer, with whom he is pictured last month in the season three premiere of The Bear.
Meanwhile, Ebon is married to Ukrainian photographer Yelena Yemchuk, with whom he is pictured at the premiere event for the third season of The Bear in Los Angeles last month.
Matty and Ebon appear on The Bear, which began airing its third season in May and has already filmed at least part of its fourth season.
Airing on FX, The Bear has gained a devoted fan base among viewers who appreciate its depiction of the high-pressure environment of a busy restaurant.
“I love restaurants,” Matty said during his Emmy acceptance speech in January, right after Ebon kissed him.
“The good and the bad. It’s hard,” she continued. “We’re all broken inside and every day we have to show up and cook and make people feel good by eating something and sitting at the table. It’s really beautiful.”
The third season of The Bear premiered on June 27, and Ebon recently revealed that part of the fourth season has already been filmed.
“When we decided to do season three, we weren’t planning on doing seasons three and four,” Ebon said on the podcast. Talk calmly with Sam Fragoso“But it increased and some of our episodes became quite long, over an hour.”
He shared: ‘Some of these episodes were being split up… I was like, you know what, we’re going to turn this into two seasons and now we’re going to do 15 or 16 episodes instead of 10. But we’re going to do it all at the same time.’
