Rose Byrne Wins First Golden Globe for Best Actress... Partner's 'Reptile Love' Revelation Causes Laughter

Actress Rose Byrne embraced her first trophy at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards held in Los Angeles on the 11th (local time), winning the Best Actress in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy. During her acceptance speech, she humorously revealed the reason for her partner Bobby Cannavale's absence, turning the event into a sea of laughter.

Rose Byrne was recognized for her outstanding performance in the A24-produced psychological comedy-drama directed by Mary Bronstein, 〈If I Had Legs I'd Kick You〉. She took the stage and began her speech by saying, "I can't believe this little movie has come this far." She humorously emphasized the indie film's strength by joking about the production environment, stating, "We shot this movie in just 25 days on a budget of about $8.50 (approximately 10,000 won)," which earned her applause.

“My husband is currently at a reptile expo in New Jersey”

The highlight of the awards ceremony was Rose Byrne's revelation about her husband Bobby Cannavale's absence. She began her closing remarks by saying, "I'm grateful to my husband Bobby Cannavale, but he couldn't be here today." She continued, "We decided to get a 'bearded dragon' at home, and he's currently at the New Jersey reptile expo to pick it up. Thanks, baby!" which elicited laughter from the audience.

Earlier, just days before the ceremony, Rose Byrne appeared on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon' and mentioned, "It just so happens that the day of the awards coincides with the reptile expo, so my husband probably won't be able to come. If we can't get a lizard for the kids, it would feel like a 'failure as a parent,' so he's off to do 'God's work.'" The down-to-earth yet quirky parenting life of this Hollywood star couple provided fresh entertainment for viewers worldwide.

The Rebellion of Low-Budget Films... Collaborating with Conan O'Brien and A$AP Rocky

The film that brought Rose Byrne her first Golden Globe, 〈If I Had Legs I'd Kick You〉, is a dark comedy that tells the story of Linda, a therapist overwhelmed by the anxieties of parenting and daily life. Conan O'Brien plays Linda's therapist, while rapper A$AP Rocky appears as a neighbor, showcasing a unique ensemble that received critical acclaim.

Having swept the Berlin International Film Festival's Silver Bear (Best Actor) and now the Golden Globe, Rose Byrne has emerged as one of the strongest contenders for Best Actress at the upcoming Academy Awards with this win.
