Grant Gustin stars as the fastest man alive on The CW's
The Flash, and during a recent appearance on
Conan, the actor revealed his experience learning of Stewie Griffin's crush on him. Stewie, of course being the ambiguously sexualised infant on
Family Guy.
This ambiguous sexuality is what the show recently covered in an episode which aired in March. During said episode, the football-headed baby admitted to his therapist he had a crush on another boy and also found himself attracted to
The Flash's lead actor.
This was a moment, for real. Every friend texted me. I grew up watching the show, so yeah, I got a shout-out on Family Guy recently.
It was kind of a moment where like five different friends texted me like, 'this is the moment that you've made it, you are now famous.'
It was a full-on name drop from Stewie. It was pretty cool.
Conan played a
clip of the episode in which Stewie admits to his therapist (who was voiced by homosexual
X-Men and
Lord of the Rings star Ian McKellen):
If anything, I'm less gay than I used to be. Not that anybody at this school would care. But do I think that Grant Gustin and I would make the most adorable Instagram couple? Yes, yes we would.
[After a brief pause] Grant Gustin plays the Flash on The CW if you were wondering. Because, you know, most people over 70 probably don't know who he is.
Following the clip; Gustin, who had yet to see the scene, celebrated: "I've made it."
What do you think about the actor's starstuck moment? Do you agree that validation from Family Guy means you've reached stardom? You can watch the clip of Conan in question below:
