Awkward moment Bobby Cannavale is grilled by Today host about his ‘imminent wedding’ to partner of 12 years Rose Byrne
Actor Bobby Cannavale was left squirming in his chair during an appearance on Today on Monday morning as host Craig Melvin told him about his “upcoming 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 Watcher actor about working with her, and also to 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 coming up, it’s going to happen…”‘ to which Bobby replied, ‘Did she say that? I haven’t seen that interview.’
“Do you want me to read it to you?” Craig replied as Bobby fired back, “No, that’s okay!” before bursting into laughter and admitting, “We’re doing fine,” shrugging his shoulders and looking around the studio rather awkwardly before adding, “Yeah, definitely.”
Craig clearly took the hint and said, “Okay, okay,” before quickly wrapping up the interview and telling Bobby, “Film’s looking good again.” Bobby Cannavale, always a pleasure.”
