Ayo Edebirimay want to check her camera to see if there’s a picture ofCarson Dalyon there.
The Bearactress, 28, had a relatable moment before accepting her Emmy Award on Monday night, when she asked Daly — who was sitting next to her at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles — to help hold her bag while she went onstage to accept her award.
“When you win an Emmy, what you don’t know is you get whisked away to the back for quite some time. So I had her purse, her iPhone and a small little actual [digital] camera for about an hour,” said Daly.
“Ayo’s phone though — it was locked of course, but I was able to get into the camera,” he said. “I may have left her a little Easter egg. If she checks her camera, I don’t know… maybe that will be there, we’ll see.”
