Phoebe Waller-Bridge shouted out former President Barack Obama for loving her show “Fleabag” at the 77th annual Golden Globes.
While accepting the award for Best Television Series - Musical or Comedy alongside the rest of the “Fleabag” cast, Waller-Bridge thanked Obama specifically.
“Personally, I would like to also thank Obama for putting us on his list. As some of you may know, he’s always been on mine,” quipped the 34-year-old, who also took home the award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series - Musical or Comedy.
Waller-Bridge was referencing Obama’s list of his favorite 2019 movies and TV shows , which was released last week and included the second season of the BBC show.
The cheeky twist to that announcement is that Obama actually makes a minor cameo in the show’s pilot when Waller-Bridge’s character, Fleabag, masturbates to one of his speeches . So, as fans quickly noted upon the list’s release, the former politician has clearly seen that scene.
We’re glad Waller-Bridge got the opportunity to formally thank Obama ... for everything.
