" I require to say we were all unearthly - looking kids . "
Tyler James WilliamsandAnthony Mackie’sActors on Actorinterview dropped, and people can’t stop talking about one surprisingly hilarious moment.
Variety’sActor on Actors20th season brought together several TV celebrities, including Tyler’sAbbott ElementarycostarsQuinta BrunsonandJennifer Anistonand Anthony’sMCUcostars Robert Downey Jr. andJodie Foster.
For thisinterview, Variety paired up Tyler, a former child star from the hit showEverybody Hates Chriswho now portrays elementary school teacher Gregory Eddie in ABC’sAbbott Elementary,with Anthony — a long-time MCU veteran as the superhero Falcon Anthony, who recently starred in the Peacock video game adaptationTwisted Metal.
It’s no secret that Tyler and Anthony are two of the hottest actors in Hollywood at the moment, and their thirst for characters is completely justified.
But, Anthony, who’s known to be a little snarky comedian toward his castmates, made one comment about Tyler’s appearance back in the day, and the internet went off.
Anthony praised Tyler for successfully transitioning from his child acting career with a certain level of “dignity.” Then, Anthony made a hilarious comment whenThe Walking Deadactor tried to return the compliment.
“Naw, but you was a weird-looking kid, and you grew up to be, like, a good-looking dude,” Anthony said jokingly.
Tyler responded, “I want to say we were all weird-looking kids. Mine was just documented. I haven’t your photos.”

The two superstars were clearly poking fun at each other, but the good ol' internet got ahold of this comment; of course, people had jokes, rebuttals, and scruples about Anthony’s statement.
Some people were quick to clock Anthony’s statement as throwing shade toward Tyler for iconic and emotive faces as a child star.
