Comedian and actor Eric André turned heads at the premiere of his new Netflix comedy Little Brother after staging a bizarre red carpet stunt that left him standing in his underwear outside New York City’s Paris Theatre.
André initially arrived at the event dressed in a suit, but moments after stepping out of his vehicle, the car drove away with the outfit, leaving the comedian wearing only a pair of briefs in front of photographers and guests. The stunt is in keeping with André’s reputation for unconventional comedy and attention-grabbing public appearances, as he promoted his latest film.
The actor stars alongside John Cena in Little Brother, a comedy that follows a successful real estate agent whose life is thrown into chaos when his eccentric younger brother unexpectedly re-enters his life. While Cena appeared at the premiere in traditional red carpet fashion, fully dressed in a suit, André’s unusual appearance quickly became the talking point of the event.
The premiere generated significant attention on social media, with photos and videos of the stunt circulating widely online as fans reacted to André’s trademark brand of absurd humour. Little Brother is now available on Netflix.
