'My 5 seconds of air time created an array of malicious feedback that is all associated with my face.'
A dream gig and breakout role for one aspiring actor has turned into a PR nightmare.
Cynics on Twitter TWTR, +0.50% and Facebook FB, +0.85% have derided the spot as a new “Black Mirror” episode, or a “116 lb woman’s YEARLONG fitness journey to becoming a 112 lb woman.”But the “Peloton husband” is actually an aspiring actor and elementary school teacher named Sean Hunter, who lives in Vancouver, Canada. And now he’s afraid that his big break may break both of his careers.
As the commercial racked up several thousand “thumbs down” votes, and social media and news outlets began criticizing the video, he says that his friends suddenly grew silent. Well, except for the one that texted him to say that he’d become “a symbol of the patriarchy.” He’s also become a meme. “My 5 seconds of air time created an array of malicious feedback that is all associated with my face.” Indeed, many of the complaints against the controversial commercial targeted his character in particular, such as one viral tweet that said, “Absolutely 100% chance that the husband in the Peloton ad is abusive.”
