    Dave Franco feared he would "ruin" The Studio

    The 40-year-old actor made a cameo appearance in the hit comedy series, and he's admitted to being shocked by his Emmy nomination


    The Hollywood star - who has been nominated for the Best Guest Actor in a Comedy Series gong - told People: "I always saw that coming. No, it's insane.

    "And the truth of it all is I truly did not think this nomination was even a possibility. I remember when they first sent me all of the episodes [of the show after filming], I started watching through it, and I was like, 'Oh no. This is my favourite show, and I'm about to come in and ruin it.'"

    Dave - who is married to actress Alison Brie - actually double-checked his nomination online.

    The actor shared: "[Allison and I] also didn't know when the nominations were being announced, and so we were in our kitchen, and I got a text from my publicist, and it just said 'EMMY NOMINATION.' And I go, 'Oh my God. [...] I think I just got nominated for an Emmy.'

    "I had to Google it. I didn't believe it."

    Meanwhile, Alison - who has worked with Dave on movies like 2023's Somebody I Used to Know - recently revealed that the couple's "shorthand has gotten shorter and shorter" in their professional relationship.

    The actress and Dave love working together, but they're still "very selective" about the projects they commit to.

    Alison told Collider: "I think, to do this project, we have acted in some things together, and by this point, Dave has directed me in a couple of movies, we wrote a film together.

    "Our shorthand has gotten shorter and shorter to where it's like a mind-meld, eye-contact thing.

    "We've been together over a decade, so has this couple in the movie. We're very selective about projects that we will act in together.

    "We read scripts quite often, where we would act together, and it's all about which one makes the most sense, and this one did."
