Oscar Isaac has given an explanation for his viral red carpet PDA moment with Jessica Chastain— and it wasn’t what we were expecting…
In September of last year, the actor and his Scenes From a Marriage co-star amped up the chemistry during the press tour for the HBO limited series. At one event, the co-stars were seen holding hands and wrapping their arms around each other while posing for photos before Issac appeared to kiss and sniff Chastain’s inner upper arm. As you do!
And speaking of the moment that took the internet by storm, Oscar Isaac compared his relationship with his good friend Jessica to flatworms. Yes… you heard right—flatworms.
Speaking on SiriusXM’s The Jess Cagle Show, the 43-year-old explained: “You know, you can cut them into like a hundred pieces, and they will grow a whole new worm out of the little piece.

“So they’re basically kind of immortal, and they’ve been doing work at the cellular level where they’re seeing that the cells kind of talk to each other through electricity and kind of decide, ‘Okay, you’re going to make the head.’ ‘All right, I’m going to make the tail’… they’re communicating through some sort of like electro kind of magnetic situation.”
The Moon Knight actor continued: “That’s how Jessica and I kind of talk to each other. We’re just like, little flatworms.”
