Eric André recently admitted that he used his ex-girlfriend’s Netflix account until he got a chance on the streaming platform.
On May 13 at Netflix Upfront 2026 in New York City, PEOPLE magazine interviewed the 43-year-old American comedian and actor and asked him if he could play a role in the upcoming Netflix film Little brother.
André shed light on his new project with the streaming giant, revealing that he no longer had access to his old account and was using his ex’s account until recently.
Referring to the comedy film Little brother, he said, “The only reason I got back into my account that I was locked out of for years is because I made this movie and talked to people really high up on Netflix to get back in.”
“Yes, I was literally shy to ask Ted,” he admitted, referring to Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos.
For those who don’t know, Little brother features an ensemble cast including John Cena, Christopher Meloni, Michelle Monaghan, Ego Nwodim, Sherry Cola, Sophia Bunnell and others.
It shows that “the perfect life of a tightly wound real estate agent (Cena) gets an extreme makeover when his lovingly chaotic ‘little brother’ (André) suddenly reappears.”
Little brotherdirected by Matt Spicer, will be released on June 26, 2026.
