In an unexpected twist at the Golden Globes Awards last night, actor Ramy Youssef expressed his joy in a rather unconventional way. As their film Poor Things was announced as the winner of the coveted ‘Best Film – Musical or Comedy’ category, Youssef celebrated the moment by planting a kiss on his co-star, Mark Ruffalo.
Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos Poor Things – known for its compelling narrative and stellar performances – was a strong contender in the awards race from the start. The win was a testament to the hard work and dedication put forth by the entire cast and crew, but it was Youssef’s spontaneous act of celebration that caught everyone’s attention.
The moment became an instant highlight of the night, with attendees visibly surprised and amused. The audience broke into applause, cheering for both the film’s victory and Youssef’s spirited display of joy.
Ruffalo, caught off guard by the affectionate gesture, responded with a surprised laugh and a warm hug, further fueling the audience’s delight.
The Golden Globes is a prestigious event known for its memorable moments and last night was no exception. The former Esquire Middle East cover star Youssef’s celebratory kiss added a dash of unpredictability and excitement to the ceremony, making the Poor Things win all the more memorable.
