Imagine missing out on a major award ceremony, like the Golden Globes, for a reason so unique it might just make history! That's exactly what happened to Bobby Cannavale, who was absent from his wife Rose Byrne's big win, but not because of any typical excuse. The real reason? He was doing something truly extraordinary.
On January 11th, Rose Byrne took home the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy Film for her role in "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You." But here's where it gets controversial: her husband, Bobby Cannavale, was nowhere to be seen at the ceremony. Instead, he was busy attending a reptile expo in New Jersey, specifically to get a bearded dragon as a new pet for their family.
Rose, speaking to Extra backstage, confirmed this unusual reason for his absence, calling it "ridiculous" but true. She added that his reptile adventure was going well, and they had successfully acquired their new pet. "We've got the guy, he's really cute, and he's already in the house," she said with excitement.
But the story doesn't end there. After her win, Rose managed to FaceTime with Bobby, but the connection was poor. "It was super cute though," she shared. "He was crying, and it was adorable. I wish he was here, but at least my brother is here to celebrate with me."
This isn't the first time Rose has mentioned Bobby's absence from the Golden Globes. During an appearance on "The Tonight Show" last week, she revealed that he couldn't attend because of the reptile expo. "It's this big event, and it's the place to be for reptile enthusiasts, and it just so happened to fall on the same day as the Globes," she explained. "So, we're doing it, and I'm all for the dragon."
Rose and Bobby have been together for over a decade and share two children. Despite considering themselves "married," they haven't yet made it official at the courthouse.
Rose's performance in "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You" has received critical acclaim, earning her the first Golden Globe win of her career after two previous nominations. It's a well-deserved recognition for her portrayal of a struggling mother in the film.
So, what do you think? Is Bobby's reason for missing the Golden Globes a hilarious and heartwarming tale, or a controversial choice? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
