"She also played his mother on the show"— Internet reacts as video of Nicholas Chavez kissing Chloe Sevigny, despite having a girlfriend goes viral 

On October 16, a video of actor Nicholas Chavez seemingly kissing his co-star Chloe Sevigny at the premiere of their latest show, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, surfaced online. The moment raised eyebrows as the duo played on-screen mother and son.

First uploaded by TikToker @brunamercante, the video soon circulated across social media platforms. The clip seemingly showed Nicholas Chavez, Chloe Sevigny, and their co-stars Javier Bardem and Cooper Koch sitting on a couch, smiling and posing for the cameras. However, as they began rolling, Chavez and Sevigny leaned towards each other with his arm around her, locked eyes, and kissed multiple times.

Meanwhile, Bardem and Koch chuckled at their co-stars' antics. The short video has now garnered severe traction online, earning diverse reactions from netizens.

While some pointed out that both Nicholas Chavez and Chloe Sevigny are in relationships with other people, others noted that his girlfriend, Victoria Abbott, was present at the same event. Some even found the kiss awkward, as there was more than two decades of age gap between Sevigny, 49, and Chavez, 25, who played mother and son on-screen.

For instance, Reddit user @Comfortable-Load-904 commented on the video posted by @SafeBodybuilder7191 on the @r/popcultrechat community page, writing:

“She also played his mother on the show and there is a significant age gap between the two.”

Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story was released on Netflix in September 2024. It is the second season of the biographical crime drama anthology Monsters, created by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan. The story revolves around real-life brothers Lyle and Erik Menendez (played by Nicholas Chavez and Cooper Koch, respectively) who killed their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez (Javier Bardem and Chloe Sevigny, respectively), in 1989.
