While Chloe Fineman has garnered accolades for her hilariously spot-on impersonations of celebrities like Drew Barrymore, Britney Spears, and Timothée Chalamet, her talent doesn't resonate with everyone. The beloved Saturday Night Live (SNL) star recently disclosed an amusing anecdote about Harry Styles' less-than-enthusiastic reaction to her impression of the former One Direction member during his hosting and performance stint on the NBC sketch comedy show back in 2019.
"Harry Styles was really not a fan," she candidly admitted on the red carpet of Sunday's SNL50: The Anniversary Special, with a hint of amusement. "I did my impression, and he was sitting at the table, utterly devastated by how terrible it was."
Having made a name for herself with her Chalamet impersonation, Fineman shared her reasoning behind refraining from pulling out her A Complete Unknown star mimicry when he took on the dual role of host and musical guest recently. "I've already done it twice this year without him, and I've sort of veered more towards, like, The L Word vibe," she quipped this month on Watch What Happens Live. "I'm a lot older than him. I just feel like I'm this cool lesbian chick. It's like I'm embodying two lesbians at once!"
"Now that we know each other, it kind of feels embarrassing," Fineman added, chuckling. "I feel like this weird, older woman saying, 'Hey little boy, can I borrow your sweatpants?' Because I've worn his real clothes while doing the impression—it was actually really fun."
Marking the golden jubilee of SNL, The Anniversary Special attracted a whopping 14.8 million viewers across Peacock and NBC.
