Sterling K Brown, the star of Paradise and Invincible known by many for his scene-stealing performance in Black Panther, has received praise for his reaction to finding out his wife filmed a sex scene with her celebrity crush.
The news comes as the actor returns for the seventh instalment of Invincible season three, an episode for which he has received a great deal of praise, sitting at a near-perfect 9.9/10 on IMDb.
For context, that’s the same rating as the finale of Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones’ Battle of the B*****s, and higher than every episode of The Sopranos.

This is not the only praise Sterling has been getting, however.
In a new interview with Sherri, he spoke about how his wife, actress Ryan Michelle Bathe, had done a sex scene with her celebrity crush, Boris Kodjoe.
The actor spoke on the show, saying: “When we first got married, I asked her, I said, 'Who is your celebrity crush?' Who is it?' She goes, 'Boris [Kodjoe].'”
He went on to joke that she did not pause before answering either.
The actress went on to star alongside Kodjoe in 2007’s All About Us.
Sterling K Brown recalled getting a call from Michelle Bathe while he was off filming Supernatural.
He revealed: “She said, 'Listen. They had a sex scene that they added into the [script].’
“I've been told that I can't use the t-word on daytime television, so I'm gonna say, 'Oh, so you gotta have naked breasts on his chest? And she's like, 'No, I'm gonna use the Band-Aids.’”
The actor later called his wife again, saying she said: “He was so respectful, so cool, but it was really humid in the room, and I had a tough time keeping the Band-Aids on.”
He said he joked: “You just wanted naked breasts on Boris' chest! So, because of that, any other scene that Brown does, I'm like, 'I'm going for it. Man, I'm going for it!’”
The comments on the video were full of praise for the actor, with one saying: “He was giving us some 'Real Talk' keeping it 100, enjoyed his interview.”
Another said: “I just love me some Sterling! He has a wonderful personality to match his swag! I'm glad him and his wife warn each other about steamy scenes! Respect.”
A third commented: “I'm loving this! Sterling K. Brown is the truth! And Paradise is a good show, kinda scary to me, but great acting.
“I love Sterling and Ryan, they are a beautiful couple.”
