Jimmy Fallon is stretched and ready to get out on the ice, at least, according to Heated Rivalry star Hudson Williams.
The actor, who plays Shane Hollander, one of the two main characters in the gay hockey romance series, made his debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on January 7.
However, as the two of them joked about during the interview, the show contains very few scenes of the characters actually playing hockey, Williams still learned a thing or two about the game while filming.
“You were telling me that you learned a little bit of hockey, we were talking backstage, just the basics of hockey,” Fallon said to the actor during the interview. “But I was wondering if there was anything you could teach me here tonight?”
“Yes, I could show you a stretch,” the star responded, quickly getting out of his chair and getting down on his hands and knees on the floor of the stage.
“Okay, so this is basically 90 percent of where I was for filming,” Williams joked, referencing the sex positions he would be placed in on the show as Fallon laughed.
Flustered, Fallon then asked where he should go and Williams instructed him to get into the same position across from him so they were face to face.
“Wider, Jimmy. Wider! Jimmy, you have to stretch your hips, I doubt your hips are being stretched,” Williams then said, waving his hand in Fallon’s direction to critique his form.
As Fallon began to better mirror what Hudson was doing, Hudson soon realized the carpet they were on would not allow their knees to slide sufficiently for the stretch.
After moving themselves down to the area of the stage where the musical acts usually perform, the pair then got into position and Williams demonstrated how to slide your knees out until your pelvis nears the floor and then slide your knees back together again to complete the stretch.
“We’ll do it together. Here we go, ready?” Fallon asked before the two of them began to do the stretch in sync as cheers erupted in the audience.
Caught off guard by the excited response of the mostly-female audience, Fallon then cut to a clip from ‘Heated Rivalry’ as he fell over laughing.
The Tonight Show also uploaded the clip of the pair stretching to their Instagram, much to the delight of Heated Rivalry fans, who flooded the comments.
“‘Stretch your hips’ this is going exactly where I thought it’s gonna go lol,” one fan commented.
“Sorry Jimmy, this is Hudson’s show now,” another fan joked.
