Jenn Sherman, 54, has found herself at the center of attention after slamming Christopher Nolan's film Tenet in the middle of a high-intensity spin class.
The red-face Peloton instructor has since apologised to the Oppenheimer director, 53, vowing to keep her class "insult free" for the future.
This comes after Christopher had regaled the story while accepting the award for Best Director from the New York Film Critics Circle on Wednesday night. He said: "I was on my Peloton doing a high-interval workout. I'm dying. The instructor started talking about one of my films and said, 'Has anyone else seen this? Because that's a couple hours of my life I'll never get back again.'"
Jenn quickly took to Instagram to realise she was the instructor in question, and while she stuck to her guns on Tenet, praised Oppenheimer, which starred the likes of Florence Pugh and Cillian Murphy.
In a clip, she grovelled: "It's a huge day for me when I come to find out the one and only Christopher Nolan one of the leading filmmakers of the 21st century knows who the hell I am. I was excited. And then I read the article. Listen, it was 2020. It was a dark time. I was up on the platform teaching my little class and I'm running my mouth off like I'm known to do and I make a random comment about a movie I've seen the night before."
At that point, Jenn wasn't a fan of Tenet and struggled to understand the film. She continued: "What do you think the odds are that the director of said movie would take that ride some four years later? That would only happen to me."
Jenn then gave Christopher an enticing proposition, inviting him to take a class in a Peloton studio and giving him free reign to critique her performance. She said: "So here's what I want to say: I may not have understood a minute of what the hell was going on in Tenet, that ship went right over my head, but I have seen Oppenheimer twice and that's six hours of my life that I don't ever want to give back. So Mr Nolan I'm inviting you to come take a ride with me in the Peleton studio. You can critique my class, we'll have a great time, you can sit in the front row and I promise you it will be insult-free. Let me know. Take me up on it."
Released in 2020, Tenet follows a former CIA agent who is recruited into a secret organization, tasked with tracing the origin of objects that are travelling backwards through time and their connection to an attack from the future to the present. Nolan's other credits include Inception, which starred Leonardo DiCaprio, and Dunkirk, for which he received his first best director Oscar nomination.
Now, the world awaits to see if Christopher will take Jenn up on her offer. We'll just have to wait and see what happens.
