Eric André Labels Valentine’s Nude Photo with Emily Ratajkowski as ‘Iconic’

Comedian Eric Andre called his viral Valentine’s Day nude pictures with Emily Ratajkowski “iconic” during an interview with Rolling Stone.

Andre thought there “wasn’t much thought” put into the pics, but he and Ratajkowski “agreed this was a beautiful image that we had to share with the world.”

Then, the comedian described it as “one of those things,” praised the “spontaneity” of the images, and called them a “happy accident.”

Eric Andre is a famous comedian known for his Adult Swim series, “The Eric Andre Show.” Meanwhile, Emily Ratajkowski is a film actress who featured in “Entourage” and “Gone Girl.”

Andre shared his thoughts about their Valentine’s Day photos on Instagram. One of them featured the comedian naked on a couch with his finger seemingly shushing someone.

The mirror behind him reflects Ratajkowski wearing nothing but a bra, holding the phone, and taking the viral image.

He told Rolling Stone, “I was really in the moment drinking wine, and she started dying laughing….”

“…and she was like, ‘I have to take a picture of this,’” Andre commented on the images. Then, he added, “we both started cracking up.”

The 39-year-old comedian admitted there “wasn’t much thought” behind the photos. Yet, he and the 31-year-old actress “agreed this was a beautiful image that we had to share with the world.”

He said, “it was one of those things,” before comparing it to art. Eric Andre elaborated, “I think that’s what art is about.”

“Art is not intellectual; it’s primal. It has to speak to your hormones as much as it speaks to your mind.” 

Moreover, Andre shared a few details about their brief romance and called himself “ugly” compared to Ratajkowski.

He also seemed to compare himself to fellow comedians Colin Jost and John Mulaney who were also dating more attractive women. 

Jost was dating Scarlett Johansson, and Mulaney was in a relationship with Munn. He sarcastically remarked, “how could this happen?”

“I think that people think attraction is only based on physical attraction, but beauty is only skin-deep,” Andre explained. Then, he joked, “you’d think comedy works.”
