Rita Moreno was on Today today to talk about playing Vin Diesel’s grandmother in Fast X, and she told Hoda Kotb that she is getting dirtier and dirtier the older she gets. Basically, the actress said that she is 91 and she doesn’t give a fuck anymore. Although, she didn’t say fuck because broadcast television.
Anyways, Moreno is an EGOT winner, which means she has an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony. So Today wanted to give an award, and they brought Craig Melvin out to give it to her.
The anchor walked over to her and kissed her hand and her cheek. Then she told him, “Sit down, you animal!” And as a good animal, he obeyed his master.
After that, they flirted. And Melvin told her, “I’m married.” To which the actress responded, “Do we give a hoot?”
At that point, a blushing Melvin wanted to toss to commercial. Because, after all, this is Today and not GMA3. The anchors don’t cheat on their spouses. Too soon? I mean, Matt Lauer has been gone for like ever.
Seriously, I love Miss Moreno for being as carefree as she is. But then I had this thought. I am like her now. And if I am like her at my age. What the fuck am I going to be like at her age? I don’t even want to know! And neither will the people around me!
Oh, and am I the only one who kind of wants something to happen between Morvin? I don’t want his marriage to end, but they were so sweet together at that moment.
