Austin Butler was high on life—and maybe a little something extra—when he made an unexpected cameo at Bad Bunny’s concert on August 9. The Grammy winner (whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio) was performing at his No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí residency in Puerto Rico, where he was joined on stage by his Caught Stealing co-star Austin, the movie’s director Darren Aronofsky, and Canadian singer Régine Chassagne.
A few days later, Austin opened up about the experience during an interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, revealing that he had been high off a cannabis edible the entire time.
“Somebody gave me an edible right before the show, and I thought that was a good idea at the time,” the Oscar nominee explained during the August 12 episode. “Then it turns out we’re in like, a casita, a house that is basically the second stage. He comes and he’s on that stage at one point.”
He continued, “So, suddenly I’m on stage with Bad Bunny and the edible is working. So it’s like my brain is in two movies. One is like, ‘Benito and I had lunch earlier in the day, I’m just like, so proud of him.’”
“I’m watching him going like, ‘Oh my god, look how much you mean to everyone here.’ I’m like, falling in love with Puerto Rican culture and the dancing and everybody is so hot and amazing,” Austin added.
He also admitted that he didn’t know what to do with himself on stage, saying, “Then, the other part of me is like, ‘Don’t dance, because you’ll take attention away from him. This is his moment.’ So I’m like, ‘hide,’ my body is saying ‘hide,’ but then the music is so good and it’s like in my bones at that point.”
Allow us to present you with the hiding/dancing in question:
TL;DR: Yep, Austin could even make an awkward moment look hot.
