Sinners actress Hailee Steinfeld claims that she was surprised by the reaction to her viral raunchy moments in the movie
Steinfeld, however, claims that she could not foresee those moments gaining such traction.
“No, you don’t — you can’t — it’s always so wild to see what takes off. That’s what was exciting: seeing the reactions to it,” Steinfeld told Variety.
Steinfeld’s viral moments in Sinners also led to her husband, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, taking some playful stick on social media.
“An underrated awesome part about Sinners is Josh Allen probably haaaaated watching it,” one viral tweet joked.
“Josh Allen is the strongest person on earth I would’ve thrown up and cried all the way to bathroom,” another added.
“Josh Allen is one of God’s strongest soldiers they had Hailee in a full blown freak mode in this movie,” a third summarized.
At the 2026 Academy Awards, Sinners is expected to earn nominations in numerous key categories, including even a potential second Best Supporting Actress nod for Hailee Steinfeld.
