They weren't actually! That was kind of a funny story. I think there might be a bit of drama between some of producers. I'm going off an email that I saw that I'm not 100% sure I was suppose to see (shh! Don't rat me out Uncle Henry!) Apparently one producer felt like the spots were objectifying me too much. So she demanded I wear the orange pants instead of short shorts. But I didn't request it or anything. I just showed up and they said I had to wear them. I think there was a bit of an argument about that. Who knew my wardrobe would be such a hot topic Uncle Henry??

I almost don't want to admit to this because then you won't think I'm a good actor anymore! 😭😭😭 I do kind of wear those kind of shorts more often now. I didn't at first. But that first spot I did in the red shorts was such an intense experience for me. It's hard to explain but when they like handed me the shorts they wanted me to wear and I saw how small they were it was like this defining moment for me where I realized all my hard work had really paid off. Does that make any sense? It was still really intimidating wearing them on set in front of all the guys and then having it put on the internet -- I'm still getting used to being seen that way, but it's really validating. And now when I put on my old jeans or khakis I feel like I'm pretending to be somebody I'm not

I tweaked the 2nd paragraph a lil bit. lemme know if u have thoughts (sorry lil nervous about this one, it's kind of vulnerable!)..

I didn't at first. But that 1st spot I did in the red shorts was a really big experience for me.

Does that make any sense? It was still really intimidating wearing them on set in front of all the guys and then having it put on the internet -- I'm still getting used to being seen that way, but the attention has been really validating. But like when I put on my old jeans or khakis they don't fit the same

for reference, in response to his message:

I've often heard that actors are usually the opposite of what they portray on screen. So you don't usually wear those kind of shorts then? I don't recall you wearing outfits like this before, but you look very comfortable in them on camera. Although maybe that's just how good of an actor you are? I noticed in your latest video you're wearing orange pants. Albeit they are rather tight but I'm assuming it's less intimidating to wear them on set. Were the pants your own request?
