Why Will Forte’s wife threatened to divorce him: ‘What happened to you?’

1 hour ago 9

Will Forte revealed his wife, Olivia Modling, jokingly threatened to divorce him after his foul reaction to her getting bangs.

The “MacGruber” star recalled being away from his family while filming Season 2 of “The Four Seasons” when he randomly FaceTimed Modling.

“She picks up the FaceTime, and she has freshly cut bangs,” he explained during Thursday’s appearance on “Late Night With Seth Meyers.”

“She has never had bangs before, since I’ve known her. Did not know she was getting bangs. No words were spoken until I said, ‘What happened to you?’”

Forte, 55, acknowledged his reaction was “not a great start” to the call, saying, “And then I said, ‘Is that a wig?!’”

The actor then tried to defend himself, explaining that Modling was “hunched over a little bit” on camera, and that the bangs weren’t similar to French actress Brigette Bardot’s but more like Spock’s from “Star Trek.”

“And it was also right around Halloween, so like, maybe she was going to dress as Spock for Halloween, and it was a wig?” he added.

Forte, however, realized his wife’s new hairdo wasn’t a wig and quickly tried to mend his initial remarks.

“It’s like, ‘How do I turn this around and make it seem like I think they’re beautiful?’” the “Last Man on Earth” alum recalled thinking.

“And then I kind of realized we were in the middle of rehearsal and everyone was like, ‘What are you doing on your phone?’ So I said, ‘Oh! I’ve got to go!’ So that was how it was left.”

Forte explained he was unable to contact Modling for half an hour and returned to his phone with several text messages from her.

Meyers then displayed the string of messages as Forte read them to the audience.

“She said, ‘Is that a wig? The. Worst. Possible. Thing. To. Hear. After. Cutting. BANGS,’” he read. “And I was like, ‘Ha ha ha ha.’ And then she said, ‘Divorce.’”

Forte reassured the audience that he and Modling “got past it.”
