HuffPost
The comedian recalled one photographer's pledge before the picture took off online 25 years later.
Kevin James is opening up about what led to the viral photo of him shrugging while smirking on the set of “The King of Queens” 25 years ago.
The comedian, on Tuesday, told “The Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon that he remembers doing the photo shoot that led to the meme-worthy picture.
“When you first get a sitcom, you just listen to anybody. You’re just so happy to be there. And the photographer, he was just telling me to do goofy things,” James said.
“And he was like, ‘Smile. Now like you’re sexy, now like you’re shy, but now you’re kind of—’ and I got into this position where I’m like, ‘What the hell am I doing?’”
James added that he told the photographer to “bury that one” toward one picture.
