Ventimiglia honored at Harvard
CAMBRIDGE (AP) — “This Is Us” actor Milo Ventimiglia was honored on Friday as Man of the Year by Harvard University’s Hasty Pudding Theatricals at Farkas Hall in Cambridge.
The Emmy-nominated actor received the award after a roast from Elizabeth Mann and Mariana Sanchez Medina of the Hasty Pudding Theatrics, who poked fun at some of his B-list acting roles and his status as a sex symbol.
“Milo was named the world’s sexiest vegetarian alive by PETA, even though everyone sees you as a piece of meat,” the two Harvard undergrads quipped.
Before being able to hold the pudding pot, Ventimiglia had to endure a little extra embarrassment: the Pudding had Ventimiglia sing Fergie smash “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” whose music video starred Ventimiglia, and gave a lap dance to one of its members.
Ventimiglia took the teasing in good fun, emphasizing how proud he was to receive the title.
