If you give Hudson Williams a microphone, be prepared for what comes out of the Heated Rivalry<\/em><\/a> star’s mouth.<\/p>\n Even CBS host and journalist Gayle King seemed gagged, if only for a moment, when she interviewed the breakout star of the Canadian-produced Crave TV series (distributed on HBO Max in the U.S.) on the 2026 Golden Globes<\/a> red carpet.<\/p>\n In Williams’ defense, you can’t set him up the way that she did, which was by pointing out how excited people were to hear that he and costar Connor Storrie were attending the W<\/em> magazine Globes party in Los Angeles over the weekend.<\/p>\n “The buzz the whole night, and I’m not exaggerating, was, ‘They’re coming! They’re coming! They’re coming!'” King said.<\/p>\n “Yeah, we do that a lot,” Williams quickly quipped.<\/p>\n Matt Baron\/BEI\/Shutterstock<\/p>\n Hudson Williams on the Golden Globes 2026 red carpet<\/p><\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n King handled the situation well, but even such a pro couldn’t help but crack a smile at that remark.<\/p>\n On the press trail for Heated Rivalry<\/em>, the unstoppable streaming hit that hit Canada and the U.S. at the end of November, Williams and Storrie proved they give great quote. In various interviews with Entertainment Weekly<\/em> alone, the actor behind hockey player Shane Hollander said, “I’m always putting things in my mouth<\/a>” and “you could shove coal up Shane’s ass and you’d get a diamond<\/a>.”<\/p>\n It’s on brand for the incredibly sexual series, based on Rachel Reid’s Game Changer<\/em> romance novels, about two rival hockey pros who slowly fall in love behind closed doors over the course of a years-long relationship.<\/p>\n Get your daily dose of entertainment news, celebrity updates, and what to watch with our\u00a0EW Dispatch newsletter<\/a>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n All eyes were on the power duo on the Globes red carpet. Without doing much of anything, they topped the trending news topics on X\/Twitter in the lead-up to the awards ceremony. Globes host Nikki Glaser also incorporated them into her joke set.<\/p>\n “I don’t wanna get too serious, but stories like these don’t always get told,” Glaser began in a serious tone. “The success of Heated Rivalry<\/em> is proof that American audiences are ready for more shows about hockey, OK?”<\/p>\n Watch the Williams and King moment at the 22:55 mark in the livestream feed above.<\/p>\n See the full list of 2026 Golden Globes winners<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n
