Christopher Nolanis still fond of the Peloton, even after an instructorjokingly made fun of his movieTenetduring a workout session.
After Nolan won the 2024Golden Globe awardfor best director forOppenheimer— which went on to win five awards total Sunday night — the filmmaker was asked backstage whether thehumorous incidentchanged his opinion about using the exercise bike and its arsenal of virtual classes.
“I think I might just skip it for a little while, but thank you for your concern,” the director added.

Nolan first shared the bizarre bit of film criticism last Wednesday during the New York Film Critics Circle Awards Gala, when he revealed that he happened to be taking a Peloton class when the instructorcriticized one of his movies. That movie turned out to beTenet, his 2020 mind-bending action thriller starring John David Washington and Robert Pattinson.
“I was on my Peloton. I’m dying. And the instructor started talking about one of my films and said, ‘Did anyone see this? That’s a couple hours of my life I’ll never get back again!' " Nolan said while accepting the best director award, according toVariety.

Social media users then unearthed a video of instructor Sherman, circa December 2020, stating she found the movie confusing while playing music from the film.
Sherman herselfshared a responseto the story soon after it caught the internet’s attention, stating in a video that the coincidence “would only happen to me.”
“Listen, it was 2020. It was a dark time. I’m up on the platform teaching my little class and I’m running my mouth off, like I’m known to do. And I make a random comment about a movie I had seen the night before,” she said on Instagram. “What do you think the odds are that the director of said movie would take that ride some four years later?”

“So here’s what I want to say. I may not have understood a minute of what the hell was going on inTenet,that s— went right over my head. But I have seenOppenheimertwice and that’s six hours of my life that I don’t ever want to give back,” she added.
Sherman ultimately invited Nolan to join her for a Peloton class in the company’s studio that she promised will prove “insult-free.”
