Rose Byrne Clarifies Golden Globes Reptile Expo Anecdote After First Win

Byrne says the bearded dragon was purchased for their children, not because Bobby Cannavale is a lizard enthusiast.

Overview

  • In a New York Times interview published Feb. 22, Byrne said she regrets mentioning the reptile expo in her acceptance speech and would not do so again.
  • She emphasized that Cannavale missed the ceremony to fulfill a promise to their two sons to get a bearded dragon at a New Jersey expo.
  • Byrne had flagged the scheduling clash on The Tonight Show, calling it a potential parent fail if they skipped the expo.
  • She later told Extra that the new pet has settled in well at home and that the family is happy with the addition.
  • Byrne’s remarks followed her first Golden Globe win for If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, after which she described her brief speech as inarticulate and said she apologized to people she forgot to thank.
