After his official introduction, Gase appeared on “The Michael Kay Show” where he was asked about his eyes becoming a meme. Before the hosts could get to that they mentioned one thing struck out to them and Gase mentioned “the glare.” So he was clearly aware of his strong stare.
But he’s not quite aware of just how widespread it became on the internet.
“I don’t even know what that is," Gase said after being asked about becoming an internet meme. “I don’t have Twitter. I don’t have Instagram. I don’t look at the internet. I don’t really watch TV. I watch movies. That’s it. … And I don’t read the newspaper. The only time I get to know anything is when somebody tells me.”
Let’s take a look at some of the best reactions from Twitter regarding Gase’s eyes.
