Larry David went viral earlier this month after he was spotted plugging his ears at New York Fashion Week, but his daughter Cazzie David doesnât think the video was funny.
On the latest episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, Cazzie told host Alexandra Cooper she found the viral clip âdisturbing.â Many people found the moment charming, relatable, or just funny, as the Curb Your Enthusiasm genius appeared to trying to block out the loud music as models strutted the runway.
Cazzie, however, thinks her father looked like he was having a âbreakdownâ at the event.
âI found it so, like, disturbing. Like Iâm happy everyone thought it was so funny and relatable. For me, this was like a man who was dragged to some place he doesnât want to be, that he didnât know what it would be,â said when she was asked for her opinion on the viral clip. âHe doesnât know what a fashion show is."
Cazzie thinks Larry, who has been spotted plugging his ears at other loud events in the past, was probably asked to attend and didn't particularly want to.
âSomeone was like: âWill you please come to this fashion show with me?â But he didnât want to go, obviously, like I know him. So the moment thatâs going viralâŠhe looks like heâs having a breakdown. Like truly,â she added. âLike, he looks so miserable and I obviously donât like seeing my dad miserable whether or not itâs funny.â
She also insisted that regardless of how funny Larry David is (as both Curb and Seinfeld have proved), he wouldnât play up looking âmiserableâ in public for a laugh.
âHe would also never do anything to try and be funny. I donât think heâs ever done anything in his life like that to be funny.âÂ
âIt was simply too loud for him to be there. Like, itâs very sad,â she said, while letting out a laugh. While she has yet to speak with her father about the moment, she said she texted her sister Romy about the clip and they were âboth just like, âOy, this is so sad.ââ
It did admittedly look like a scene straight from Curb Your Enthusiasm, but itâs clear David has not always a fan of big events like NYFW. Recently he revealed he was uninvited to Barack Obamaâs 60th birthday party this year, and he was actually glad he didnât have to attend anymore. âI was so relieved, I screamed, âThank you! Thank you!ââ he said. âThen I hung up the phone, poured myself a drink, and finished my crossword puzzle.
He was also spotted having lunch and enjoying an espresso martini in New York City with TimothĂ©e Chalamet not too long ago, and he appeared to be in much higher spirits there.Â
