About this listen
Ayo Edebiri is having quite the moment as her psychological thriller After The Hunt continues making waves following its premiere at the New York Film Festival on September 26th and subsequent opening on October 10th. The Luca Guadagnino directed film stars Edebiri alongside Julia Roberts and Andrew Garfield in what's been described as a polarizing exploration of uncomfortable conversations around power and accountability.
During the film's London premiere just yesterday on October 11th, Edebiri shared delightful behind the scenes details with The Independent about staying at Julia Roberts' house for weeks before filming began. Roberts hosted the entire cast and director as a bonding exercise, and Edebiri joked about Roberts opening a restaurant after Garfield praised everything from her banana bread to roast chicken.
In a revealing interview with Bustle, Edebiri shocked her costar Andrew Garfield by claiming she coined the viral internet phrase I'm seated. She explained that back in April 2024, she commented on Hunter Schafer's Instagram post promoting the film Cuckoo, writing that she was seated and theater employees were scared because it wasn't August yet. The phrase exploded online, leading Edebiri to quip that she's been removing herself from social media because she's giving people too much text for free when she should be getting paid for her writing.
The actress also addressed a controversial moment from the Venice Film Festival where an Italian journalist seemed to exclude her from a conversation and asked how the film would be received now that Black Lives Matter and MeToo movements were supposedly done. During the New York Film Festival Q and A, Edebiri handled the question with grace, saying she's less online these days and didn't pay much attention to the viral backlash, calling it a very human moment that ties into the film's themes about uncomfortable conversations.
On the fashion front, Chanel named Edebiri as its newest brand ambassador on October 6th ahead of Matthieu Blazy's debut show at Paris Fashion Week, with the fashion house praising her unique style and boundary pushing talent. Vogue also featured her on a recent cover where she discussed her career and life in Los Angeles.
