Bear star Ayo Edebiri has claimed that her parents grounded her for using Matthew MacFayden as her screensaver.
The 28-year-old, who plays Sydney Adamu in the hit dramedy streaming on Disney+, made the admission after winning the Emmy for Supporting Actress in a Comedy last week.
In a TikTok video posted by Entertainment Tonight, Ayo was seen laughing with MacFayden (who also took home an Emmy for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama) backstage at the awards ceremony.
She told him that she was grounded because she had a picture of him as Mr. Darcy in 2005's “Pride and Prejudice” as a screensaver on her laptop.
“My dad was like, ‘Who is this man? Who is that guy in the coat? “With the beautiful hair?” she said in the clip.

When MacFayden was later asked what he thought of Ayo's punishment, the Succession star joked: “Good parenting.” “It's good parenting.”
The Bear was renewed for a third season late last year.
