The Boys star Karl Urban remembers his most viral ‘Five Guys’ meme
“The Boys”‘ Karl Urban has taken a trip down memory lane, revisiting the viral “Five Guys” interview that has become a meme sensation.
Urban recently sparked nostalgia on social media, sharing a cheeky throwback post with a photo of himself with a burger, fries, and a drink in the background. He captioned it, “Five Guys. If ya know you know and yes I teleported,” embracing the viral meme that’s still leaving fans in stitches a decade later.
The post is a sly nod to Urban’s 2016 interview with “The Hook”, where he and John Cho were promoting “Star Trek Beyond”. During the interview, host Jahannah James asked, “If you could set up a teleport from one place to another, where would that be?” adding, “Like your bed to Five Guys or… where would you choose?” She also tells them her preference, “Like for me, I’d do my bedroom to Five Guys.”
The confusion was palpable as Urban and Cho, unfamiliar with the American fast food chain, responded with “I’m sorry?” and “What’s a Five Guys?” James clarified, “It’s like a burger place?” leading to a hilarious back-and-forth that went viral. Urban brought the awkward exchange to a close with a laugh, saying, “Whatever you’re into… If you’re into that, that’s cool. That’s impressive.”
Netizens reacted enthusiastically to Urban’s nostalgic Instagram post, flooding the comments section with funny reactions. “Our bed to five guys?” joked a fan. “”NOT *FIVE GUYS*, JESUS!” *clutches pearls*” another chimed in. “Whatever you are into it’s ok. We don’t judge,” echoed an Instagram user. “Best interview ever,” read a hype comment.
