A viral clip of Australian actor Josh Heuston sitting beside Japanese actor Sho Hirano has divided viewers, with some criticising his apparent manspreading while others question whether he did anything wrong or intended to make Hirano uncomfortable.

The footage was filmed at the Louis Vuitton Men's Spring/Summer 2027 show during Paris Fashion Week on 23 June 2026. It shows Heuston sitting with his legs apart, leaving Hirano with less room beside him. Heuston also appears to gesture across the space in front of Hirano, prompting some viewers to argue that his movements were more bothersome than his leg position.
