Stanley Tucci Says NSFW Comments About Him Being A Sex Symbol Had Him ‘Crying With Laughter’

Stanley Tucci read some of those NSFW comments over lockdown.

The “Devil Wears Prada” actor was labelled a sex symbol during the pandemic after showing his social media followers how to make cocktails.

During a chat with ET Canada’s Sangita Patel about his new show “Citadel”, the host mentioned his sex symbol status.

Tucci said when asked whether he reads the comments and if any of them make him blush: “Yes… during lockdown, when it all first happened, we had all my kids at home. The older kids were home, they couldn’t go to university. So, we would read the comments out loud, crying with laughter.

“Some of them were so funny and some of them were so lewd that you were like, ‘Oh my God, who thinks of that?’ You know?” he admitted, avoiding telling us exactly which comments he was referring to, but did mention people talking about “giving him” things.
