The actor who played the husband in what some see as a"sexist" Peloton ad is afraid the backlash he's getting from keyboard warriors will have a negative impact on his career.is the man in the infamous holiday ad who gifts his wife a Peloton bike. When he's not acting he's an elementary school teacher ... and he's defending himself, and the controversial ad, in Psychology Today .. of all places.
Sean says initial reviews of his Peloton gig were mostly positive, but everything changed when the ad went viral. Now, his take is,"My 5 seconds of air time created an array of malicious feedback that is all associated with my face."He adds,"My friend texted me today declaring that I’m ‘a symbol of the patriarchy' ... As my face continues to be screen shot online, I wonder what repercussions will come back to me.
Sean says he's"grappling with the negative opinions as none of them have been constructively helpful." If it makes him feel better ... at least some of the memes about the ad have clearly been in jest -- and even comedian
This whole Peloton ad “Backlash” is dumb as hell. Period.
He had less than 2 lines though... I hope this thing he’s tryna do gets him where he needs to go, because he obviously needs work.
Commercial career?
I don’t see where the add was sexist. Its mostly girls that use those things. Where was it to be sexist.
Bro...you're doing workout commercials...take it easy!? I dont see you beating out dewayne Johnson for the next action adventure movie!?
Guy had one line in a cheesy commercial. I doubt he was getting recognized on the street. I’ve seen the commercial five dozen times and couldn’t have picked him out of a lineup.
Cash your check and shhhh. It’s not that big a deal.
This has nothing to do about her appearance or the need to lose weight. I think it’s about the dedication and drive she learned . As far as backlash and hurting his career , you all might want to check out the new commercial she is in .
I’m confused. Being small does not declare your physically in shape! You need to keep the body moving , if this is how she’s doing it then you go girl!!! A lot of people exercise to keep their head in check also. And to start a routine going too. What’s wrong with people today.
Im so sick of this just let it go
stupid ad
Seriously what is wrong with the commercial
Another in a line of damn dumb things people get mad over for no reason.
I don’t see anything wrong with the commercial 🤷🏽♀️
It’s a fuckin commercial people. Why must everything be an issue PussifiedSociety
Still nothing wrong with this commercial💁
and people say feminists aren’t crazy
How is it the actors fault if anyones to blame its the company for giving the green light to the script hes just doing what hes paid to do is to Act
I swear I hate this damn sexist cringeworthy commercial.🤬
This company is vile for this ad I will never support anything associated with them!!! Am I doing this right?
Yeah he need to go into the witness protection program
Dude just wanted to act and be in a commercial. Blame Peloton for thinking it was cute. Theres a reason they're going bankrupt lol
He made a commercial he didn't solve cancer. Next week nobody will remember in 2wks
People are getting too sensitive nowadays!
People need to lighten up! Geez, if you don't like the commercial then don't watch or buy the product, that simple.
Cause here in Twitterville we get in an uproar over absolutely anything.
My mom asked me to get her one 🤣
Ridiculous some actor has to even worry about make believe. US is nuts on social media
pathetic commercial
What is this backlash? How is this commercial sexist please someone clue me in?!
Umm can someone explain why this is a thing If someone gave my chunky butt a Peloton I would be grateful!! Lol! But seriously. Why is this sexist
Just watched commercial. Nothing wrong with it. She loved her gift. Great. Considerate husband. Quit trying to stir shit up.
Cycling isn’t only for those who wish to lose weight. What if she uses cycling as a form of therapy?
Get over yourself, bruh.
If it does- maybe it’s a blessing in disguise. Hollywood is a cesspool!
Because people only exercise when they are overweight... not to get their heart and lungs and mind healthier. snowflakesoffendedbyeverything
He's an extra in a Peloton commercial; what career?
