Odd tone: Jerry Seinfeld, 67, jokingly apologized for the 'uncomfortable sexual aspect' of his 2007 film Bee Movie during a Friday appearance on The Tonight Show
Seinfeld was visiting Fallon to promote the release of new 4K remasters of the original Seinfeld episodes which are now streaming on Netflix.
During his appearance, Fallon complimented him for looking younger than his age, which led the comedian to bemoan how long he had to work before becoming famous, which led to him being older than some fans realized.
'I had three kids. I had to straighten their insane a**es out, and then I had to make a movie with a bee,' he continued, before opening up about memes and jokes that have suggested their a sexual undertone to Bee Movie.
Although there's no explicit romance or sexual content in the film, some eagle-eyed fans have suggested there are hints of a romance between the bee Barry B. Benson (Seinfeld) and the florist Vanessa (Zellweger).
