Tessa Thompson: Never Had A Burger Before, But She’s Not Vegetarian
For someone who was born and raised in the US and is not a vegetarian, it sounds impossible to not eat a hamburger at least once. However, Tessa Thompson confessed…

Amy Sussman/Getty ImagesFor someone who was born and raised in the US and is not a vegetarian, it sounds impossible to not eat a hamburger at least once. However, Tessa Thompson confessed exactly that during Sunday night's (March 12) Vanity Fair Oscar party.
The Creed III star said, "I've never had a hamburger in my life. I eat other things, I've just never had a hamburger." She joked, "It's the only thing extraordinary that I can still claim." To add more shock to some food she's never had before, the 39-year-old said she only recently tried an egg for the first time -- and she wasn't impressed.
"I had never had one of those. I don't think they're great," she said. When reporter Amelia Dimoldenberg listed the many ways to enjoy an egg, Thompson said, "That's the problem with them! It's like, pick a lane."
Still, there's one traditional staple that Thompson is just fine with its versatility: "I love potatoes."
Vanity Fair shared the clip on TikTok. Watch below:
One fan commented on the video: "Is Tessa Thompson UN interesting or VERY interesting?" While another said, "No hamburgers? No eggs? In the words of Kandi Burress 'THE LIES!'" Another person didn't believe the actress' claims, commenting, "Yeh I don't believe it. Eggs are in soooo many meals."
Others compared Thompson to Robert Pattinson and SZA for being liars. "In her defense, she did get her bachelors degree from the Robert Pattinson School of Tall Tales and Fables. Iykyk." While others said, "In her sza era," and "sza what’re you doing here!"
You can see Tessa in Creed III alongside Michael B. Jordan and Jonathan Majors, in theaters now. In the film, Thompson plays Bianca, the wife of Adonis Creed (Jordan). She shared in an interview with Refinery29 that she and Jordan "actually" went to couple's therapy together "in character" to prep for their roles in the film.
"The line sometimes between character and us get blurred," Thompson said of the experience which was "very weird," she added. "But I think it reminded us of our own personal lives that going to therapy, even when a relationship is good, can be a good thing if you're trying to just sharpen communication and figure out how someone works. It's useful in so many relationships."
2023 Oscars Red Carpet: Hottest Looks and Train Wrecks
The color of the night for the 95th Oscars was white, with some pops of color with the oncoming Spring season. While some stars looked like they emerged from a dream, others were washed out by their choice. The Oscars are one of the year's most fashionable events, so you know that the nominees put their best foot (and face) forward on the red carpet.
Take a look below at the biggest winners and losers of the red carpet below:
Worst: Elizabeth Banks
Arturo Holmes/Getty ImagesNot quite sure what Banks was thinking, but all this excess fabric, her gown is swallowing her whole. The train seems too messy.
Worst: Zoe Saldana
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesSaldana's dress is not only boring, but it doesn't fit her right, so the lace details get lost.
Worst: Sabrina Dhowre Elba and Idris Elba
Arturo Holmes/Getty ImagesUnfortunately for Idris' wife, Sabrina, this neon green makes her a sight that gave us sore eyes when standing next to the dapper actor.
Worst: Ana de Armas
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesNot only is her dress boring due to the details being lost in the muted hue, but it does not go well with her complexion either.
Worst: Dwayne Johnson
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesThe shiny rose gold blazer is a little too soft for someone who goes by "The Rock."
Worst: Halle Berry
Arturo Holmes/Getty ImagesBerry's dress would have been perfectly elegant and hot if it hadn't been for those gold roses at her hip and neckline. The retro waves don't look great on her hair length, either; we can't see her beautiful face.
Worst: Jessica Chastain
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesJessica Chastain usually kills it, but tonight, the light silver color just washes her out.
Worst: Kate Hudson
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesUnfortunately for the natural beauty, her lack of makeup only brought out her pale complexion when paired with this cool-toned silver gown, which would have otherwise looked gorgeous.
Worst: Elizabeth Olsen
Arturo Holmes/Getty ImagesOlsen's black fringe dress seems all kinds of confused, mixing modern with flapper style.
Best: Jamie Lee Curtis
Arturo Holmes/Getty ImagesThis nude, sparkling gown looks stunning on the star, who is shining as brightly as her gems.
Best: Samuel L. Jackson
Arturo Holmes/Getty ImagesIt is refreshing to see the actor in color, and for a metallic one at that!
Best: Jennifer Connelly
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesConnelly's neckline is what elevates this simple, black gown to the next level.
Best: Mindy Kaling
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesMindy looked fabulous in this bright white caged gown! Keeping her neck bare allowed for the details in her dress to shine.
Best: Janelle Monáe
Arturo Holmes/Getty ImagesThe singer and actress absolutely gleamed on the red carpet in this cascading orange skirt! She perfectly mixes the elegance of her bottom with the playful sexiness of her top.
Best: Michelle Yeoh
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesYeoh's fringed gown looks elegant and perfect for the actress, who has been snagging all of the awards lately.
Best: Emily Blunt
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesThough her dress is so simple, the actress looked so beautiful, which goes to show less can be more when you know how to dress for your body and complexion.
Best: Zuri Hall
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesNow THIS is how you look like royalty, but with an edge.
Best: Ava DuVernay
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesThe filmmaker looked so elegant and stunning in this black gown with silver detailing.
Best: Cara Delevingne
Arturo Holmes/Getty ImagesDelevingne looked perfect in this red gown, which cinches her in at the torso with a nice touch with the shoulder bunching.
Best: Sandra Oh
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesGoing against the white trend, Sandra Oh's mustard dress stood out in the best way. It cascades so beautifully and she looks so youthful, pairing her look with a messy updo and a fun, blinged-out necklace.
Best: Tems
Arturo Holmes/Getty ImagesThe singer stole the show for the best dressed in white with this fun tulle gown, that just swept us away.
Best: Angela Bassett
Arturo Holmes/Getty ImagesNot only is this color just ravishing on Angela, but the movement created through the fabric of her gown makes her look even more beautiful.
Best: Florence Pugh
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesThe actress has been killing it lately with her fashion choices, and this is no exception. Her gown is giving natural yet elegant.
Best: Salma Hayek
Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesThe 'Magic Mike 3' star looked incredible in this fun, bronze sequin fringe gown. Her body looks absolutely snatched.
