Eric Andre Goes Full Character at 'Little Brother' Premiere, John Cena Joins Him on Red Carpet

Eric Andre brought his signature comedic energy to the red carpet for 'Little Brother,' arriving at Thursday night's premiere in nothing but his tighty-whities.

The 43-year-old performer and comedy veteran attended the event with his on-screen partner John Cena at the Paris Theatre in New York City on June 18. The unconventional fashion choice stayed true to Andre's comedic persona as the cast gathered to celebrate the film's debut.

In the Netflix comedy, Cena plays a high-powered real estate developer whose meticulously ordered life gets turned upside down when his unpredictable "little brother" (Andre) suddenly reappears after years away.

The premiere drew a full roster of supporting cast members, including Christopher Meloni, Sherry Cola, Ego Nwodim, Caleb Hearon, Ben Ahlers, Bryce Gheisar, and Pilot Bunch. Director Matt Spicer was also on hand for the celebration.

The film arrives on Netflix on June 26.

During an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Cena revealed the project's origins. "This movie was written for Eric André," he explained, noting that he came on board afterward. He continued, "I was asked to read it and see what I thought, and I was wondering who the little brother was. And when it was Eric André, having been a fan of Eric and seeing his personality shown on The Eric André Show, with all of the physical comedy, all of the pushing boundaries, so to speak…It was written for Eric, and he just needed a comedic straight face to bounce the absurdity off of. And man, I'm grateful to get that seat."
