Move over, Oscar winners. there’s a new "A-lister" in town.
While Netflix’s dark comedy hit Beef returned to Hollywood on Wednesday night for its Season 2 premiere, the flashing bulbs weren't just focused on its human stars.
The undisputed scene-stealer was Jones, a tiny Dachshund who managed to outshine a cast of heavy hitters.
Following a historic first season that swept eight Emmy Awards, Season 2 of Beef (dropping April 16) introduces an entirely new feud and a fresh ensemble, including Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, Cailee Spaeny, and Charles Melton.
However, early buzz suggests that Jones is the heart of the new storyline, joining the ranks of recent canine legends like Messi from Anatomy of a Fall.
Sporting a sophisticated gold collar, Jones handled the "step and repeat" like a seasoned veteran, posing for photographers alongside his co-stars.
Fans on social media have already begun campaigning for a "Best Supporting Good Boy" category, proving that even in a show about explosive anger and high-stakes feuds, a pair of floppy ears is the ultimate scene-stealer.
