Olivia Cooke and Emma D’Arcy revealed that they didn’t like the “negroni sbagliato” meme. “I did hate it for a very long time,” Olivia said. “I was in the pub. A woman opened the door for me, and she said with a thick Spanish accent, ‘Stunnin’!’ I was just like, Oh my God. Over a decade’s worth of work reduced to a single word in my lexicon.” Meanwhile, Emma added that they have mixed feelings about it, saying, “I don’t have anything illuminating to say on it because it’s very hard to know how to react when you become a meme.”

Kevin James chatted about his King of Queens promo-shot-turned-meme and said at the time he was told the photo would never see the light of day. “The photographer was just telling me to do goofy things. He was like, ‘Smile now like you’re sexy. Now, like you’re shy.’ I got into this position like, ‘What the hell am I doing?'” he said. “Then I said, ‘Well, please bury that one.’ And he goes, ‘Yeah, no worries. That won’t come back.'” Of course, that was the photo that became a viral meme.

Adele spoke about the meme of her looking unimpressed at a basketball game and said her attitude was actually because she was being filmed without her consent. She explained, “I know it sounds crazy, but I really don’t like being famous, right? I know I’m sitting courtside at a basketball game, I’m asking for it, whatever, but Rich was working the room and talking to players and people, I was fine, I didn’t mind. I was just there on my own, looking for Michael Jordan, to be honest with you.”

We need to explain this to you.’ And they just started going through — and they are very creative. Very odd. And I’m here for it. It’s great,” he said.

Finally, Jason Derulo addressed the meme of a man, said to be Jason, falling down the stairs at the 2015 Met Gala. At the time, he clarified that the person identified wasn’t actually him, but the joke stuck. “There’s still people on the planet that think that I’d fall down the steps,” he said. “I’ve definitely seen some messages like, ‘Are you OK?’ But yeah, every single year, a couple of times a year…it’s not even just the Met Gala anymore! It’s kind of inching its way onto other events, but it’s hilarious.”
