Hunter included that he felt he was being unjustly connected with the material of the advertisement itself. “People have to remember I’m the actor, this isn’t who I am,” he continued. “I’m a totally different person in real life. And you know, I’m a teacher. I teach children…My face is now the face of the patriarchy. It’s so whoa, hold on a minute…slow your roll. That’s not who I am. You have to differentiate the actor from the role and from the person.”
Ultimately, it was Hunter who got the ultimate victory when, on Christmas Day, he exposed that he talented sweetheart Cassidy Baras—what else?—a Peloton bike. “Here’s hoping this goes over better the second time…. Merry Christmas to my actual girlfriend,” he composed on Instagram along with picture of the couple presenting with bike, prior to including, “(pls don’t leave me.)”
You understand, simply in case.
Sadly, that’s precisely what took place. As Hunter informed E! News one year later on, “I’m unfortunately not with my girlfriend anymore, but she does have the Peloton and surely uses it! When I got it for her she was so stoked and used it a lot. Hopefully she didn’t dump the bike when she dumped me.”
He continued, “You most certainly can alert the world that @pelotonhusband is available, and should probably get a name change. The husband name might not be working.”
The Peloton curse strikes once again.
