Jeremy Allen White Reveals Why He Always Buys Flowers
Jeremy Allen White is a sucker for a beautiful bouquet, but the sentimental reason behind it even more alluring. If you've seen paparazzi photos of The Bear star out in the wild, then there's a strong chance he was spotted with flowers in his hands. He's been seen on numerous occasions buying an assortment of flowers, ranging in beautiful, bright colors. And it's happened so much that people have speculated what he does with them — gifting them to a significant other, fueling a hobby, etc. So, when he stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday to promote the new season of the Emmy-winning series, the late night host made sure to ask Jeremy about it. "You're always carrying giant bouquets of flowers, everywhere you are," Jimmy said, while showing a collage of pictures of Jeremy holding pretty plants. "I love it. It's your your one else can take this move. That is your move. Do you work at a florist or what?" 'I have this farmer's market near my house," Jeremy replied. "It's on Sundays, and I just love going there, and I love flowers in my house. I like them in the house." "It's so strange, though, it's become this thing. I saw a friend a couple of weeks ago that I hadn't seen in a while, and she goes, 'What's up with the flowers?'" He jokingly remembered feeling like his friend might've thought he was doing something "sinister" or "strange" with the flowers. "I just like them," he continued. "I like them in the house. I give them to people. I arrange them with my daughters on Sunday, and it's like — it's a nice thing that we do." The audience erupted in a sea of "awws" at the sweet activity he does with his kids. Jeremy shares two little girls — Ezer, 6, and Dolores, 4 — with his ex-wife, Addison Timlin. And fans online proudly voiced their admiration for Jeremy's hobby: How adorable!

LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier, Arch Manning star in Raising Cane's ad
'At least your dad didn't move to Louisiana and start calling plays' This is a fun one. Louisiana football royalty descended on Thibodeaux this week for the Manning Passing Academy, with legendary New Orleans Saints quarterback Archie Manning joining his sons Peyton, Eli, and Cooper and grandson Arch for an opportunity to mentor the next generation of passers. On the way, several members of the Manning family stopped by the Baton Rouge-based Raising Cane's to put in a celebrity "shift" and pulled into the drive-thru to cut a commercial. You can see it for yourself here, but they weren't alone. Raising Cane's founder Todd Graves, a popular pick among fans to buy the Saints should owner Gayle Benson ever put them up for sale, sat in the back seat with LSU Tigers quarterback Garrett Nussmeier. Grandfather Archie questioned grandson Arch as to whether his Super Bowl-winning uncles Peyton and Eli were going too hard on him; the younger Manning and Nussmeier roomed together this week as counselors at the clinic. "Tell me about it. At least your dad didn't move to Louisiana and start calling plays," quipped Nussmeier, son of new Saints offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier. That's when Arch's father Cooper leaned in from the drive-thru window to remind his son to order with a "please" and "thank you," while telling Nussmeier that his father already called in his order: "He doesn't trust your judgment." Rookie Saints quarterback Tyler Shough is also working at the event as a counselor, and he's the first to do so after going pro. With almost 1,500 high school quarterbacks in attendance, the Mannings could use all the help they can get. As for Graves? Between all this high-maintenance bickering among quarterbacks, he joked that he needs "to start hanging out with linemen." We're guessing Erik McCoy and Cameron Jordan would be more than happy to show him around town.
