stopped by TODAY<\/a>, first heading to their kitchen for a quick tuna melt and a can of ginger ale (IFYKYK. If you don’t know\u2026 respectfully, catch up). But the moment fans really wanted him to address wasn’t his accent or athletic ability. It was the pasta. <\/p>\nSpecifically, Ilya demolishing spaghetti during the season finale meal scene. It’s where Shane’s dad catches the boys together, and suddenly everyone is seated at the table for the world’s most tense family conversation, with Ilya just happily eating through the tension.
<\/p>\n\n\nWhen Dylan Dreyer asked Storrie whether the pasta-eating was a character choice or just him being excited for food\u2014a relatable feeling\u2014he answered honestly: “I’m very LA; I don’t do a lot of carbs or gluten,” Storrie said, adding that it’s not really his thing, so he was fully relishing the excuse to eat pasta “for the first time in a long time.” <\/p>\n
Storrie also said a producer showed him a take where one of his own mannerisms slipped in and fully betrayed how excited he was to be chowing down. “I guess I do a little dance while I’m eating, like I’m a little kid,” he said. “I don’t know that I do that, but now, even in my real life, I kind of find it sometimes.”<\/p>\n\nFans have been, understandably, obsessed with the scene ever since.<\/p>\n
“The hollander family spent this whole episode feeding or trying to feed ilya and i love them deeply for it,” one person wrote. “lol the 1st of MANY MEALS Yuna will cook for her future son in law\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02,” someone else joked, with another adding, “He’s just so happy to be part of a family meal \ud83e\udd70\ud83e\udd70.” Which, yes, I believe is the whole point and<\/em> also why I am unwell.
