“Curb Your Enthusiasm” star Larry David couldn’t curb his visible discomfort at a runway show during New York Fashion Week.
The “Seinfeld” creator went viral in September, when multiple videos surfaced of David covering his ears while curling into himself and appearing generally miserable in the front row of a designer’s fashion show as models strutted down the catwalk.
The actor’s podcast host daughter, Cazzie David, 27, addressed her father’s odd behavior on her wildly popular show, “Call Her Daddy.”
“This is so not gonna be what you want to hear from this or what anyone would want to hear. I found it so disturbing,” she commented.
“I’m happy everyone thought it was so funny and relatable. For me, it was like this is a man who was dragged to some place he doesn’t want to be, that he didn’t know what it would be,” she went on.
The host noted that her dad “doesn’t know what a fashion show is” and “didn’t want to go” to the famed event.

“So the moment that’s going viral, that’s like me watching my dad… he looks like he’s having a breakdown. Like truly,” she continued.
“He would never also do something to try and be funny,” Cazzie remarked. “I don’t think he’s ever done anything in his life like that to be funny. He’s like, ‘If you’re funny, great, but if you’re not funny, don’t try to be funny ever.’”
His curmudgeonly behavior inspired a bevy of Twitter memes. “Larry David enjoying #NYFW,” wrote one user.

Cazzie noted that she hadn’t spoken to her Dad about this recent viral moment, but she and her sister discussed it via text.
“We were both just like, ‘Oy. This is so sad,’” she concluded. “It was simply just too loud for him
to be there… It’s very sad.”
