Ted Lasso’s Brett Goldstein Guest-Starring on Harley Quinn

The more we hear about it Harley Quinn: A very problematic Valentine’s Day special, the more hyped we are for it. We already know it’s about Poison Ivy gets such a big O from Harls that it will unleash a wave of pheromones that will turn Gotham on, which is the perfect off-kilter twist for a Christmas special.

Now we get some adorable stunt casting in the form of a comedian, podcaster, Apple TVs co-creator shrinkage, muppets Super fan, as well as author and star on Teddy Lasso– true, Roy Kent himself, but as his real himself, Brett Goldstein. The person, not his personality Lasso, will have a shirtless appearance to better show off his hairy chest Harley Quinn and we would like to know which god to thank for that. Zeus? Here are the official images from the special shared by Weekly entertainment.

More Brett Goldstein is always a good thing as the multi-hyphenated actor ties multiple universes together. “Brett is so humble, he actually said, ‘Do you want me to do that as Roy Kent?’ And when I said, ‘No, I want you to do it,’ he seemed kind of surprised,” Patrick Schumacker told EW about directing the Emmy-winner’s DC Canon debut as himself. “Which, of course was very charming. But no, it just felt right because he’s a heartthrob whether he likes it or not. I’m sorry, Brett!”

We’re excited to see how he fits into the episode’s plot as he polishes his trophy on stage in front of a live audience. Maybe he’s connecting with Clayface on his journey to self-love. All of this feels like a double entender as to what goes with this headquarters Universe Gotham.
