'Euphoria' star Lukas Gage stays classy after a director's Zoom fail
You've gotta remember to hit that mute button if you're going to talk trash. (Better yet, maybe just don't talk trash? Especially not this kind of trash.)
Lukas Gage, a recurring player on HBO's Euphoria, shared a little clip on Friday from a recent Zoom call in which the unnamed "director" he met with made some unprompted comments about the appearance of Gage's apartment. The only problem? The denigrating comments weren't meant for Gage's ears.
He captioned the video "psa if youre a shit talking director make sure to mute ur shit on zoom mtgings," and his actual response in the moment was the height of class.

"These poor people live in these tiny apartments," the unnamed speaker says, prompting an immediate bemused, slightly shocked smile from the actor, who realized right away what was happening. Not so for the director.
"Like I'm looking at his TV and and—" the voice continues, before Gage breaks the ice. "Yeah I'm muted," he says with a slightly pained expression, adding: "I know it's a shitty apartment, that why [you should] give me this job so I can get a better one."
"Oh my god, I am so, so sorry, Lukas," the director responds in what I can only describe as the flattest of monotones. "I am so sorry. I am mortified." Maybe the director really was sorry (I'm sure he was), but his tone isn't exactly apologetic.
The lesson for everyone, of course, is to remember how your mute button works during this time when most of us are spending time in remote meetings, and to use it liberally. The added lesson for people who default to making jerky comments like "Look at this poor shlub's apartment!" is... maybe don't do that.
Whether it's on social media or live and in person, never underestimate your ability to shut the hell up.
