Just weeks before the release of Queer Eye season three, guac lord Antoni Porowski became a viral meme after he was photographed third-wheeling on a date with Pete Davidson and Kate Beckinsale.

The food boi looked v. forlorn as he sat alongside his two loved up pals, sparking hundreds of hilarious internet reactions.

Last night, four members of the Fab Five appeared on Jimmy Kimmel, and Jimmy asked Antoni about the iconic moment that has been immortalised in meme.
“This is one of the best pictures I’ve ever seen,” he said when he brought it up.
Antoni then explained what the heck was going on at that moment.
“There were two hockey players going at it, basically beating the hell out of each other, and I was genuinely concerned,” he said, admitting that he wasn’t third-wheeling nearly as hard as the picture made it seem.
“We chatted the entire game. [Kate’s] very funny, witty, charming AF.”
That being said, I’m sure he’ll probz bring an additional pal along next time in case it happens again. Perhaps one of his Queer Eye cast mates?
Failing that, I’m always available.
