Brie Larson has a new “Muppet” in her life: Her rescue dog.
“He’s so cute and I’m sorry to have stored him from you, however his name is Six-Thirty,” the Oscar winner, 34, said all through a Friday, November 10, appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Lessons in Chemistry lovers know that this particular moniker has a candy connection to the AppleTV+ show, in line with the similar e-book through Bonnie Garmus. In the show, Larson’s persona, chemist Elizabeth Zott, named her dog Six-Thirty because the domestic dog followed her house at that time.
Larson, for her section, worried that discussing her real-life pooch publicly would be “breaking the [SAG-AFTRA] strike” on account of its connection to the series. (The SAG-AFTRA strike officially came to an end on November 9.)
“I didn't pick his name. He picked it, [but] I simply don’t have the center to tell him that it’s simply utterly absurd and irrelevant,” she joked, noting that Six-Thirty was “very shy” when he was rescued.
“My buddies were throwing out, like, the whole thing below the solar,” she noted to host Jimmy Fallon. “And my highest buddy, who is a food consultant on [my new show] Lessons in Chemistry, she saw him and was once like, ‘Oh, my gosh! He’s Six-Thirty!’ And he appeared up.”
Larson concept the moniker choice, whilst it captivated the pooch, was “too peculiar.” But when she mentioned, “Six-Thirty” a number of extra instances, he saved responding to it — not like the rest she tried to name him.
“I tried the whole lot. I had four days where I used to be calling him Dog, Jeremy, Jimmy, David,” the Marvels star lamented. “I’d be opening the pantry and be like, ‘Are you flour? Are you salt? Are you black pepper?’”
She persevered: “He chose it, so please simply be respectful whilst you see him.”
While Larson and Six-Thirty have made their peace with the decision, the pet’s veterinarian wasn’t as understanding.
“His vet thinks it’s ridiculous. His vet is puzzled,” Larson remarked. “The receptionist would go, ‘Your Six-Thirty’s here.’ And he’s like, ‘It’s 2:00, I don’t know what that suggests.’ It’s complicated.”
While Larson is a proud dog mom, she gained’t be getting a cat anytime quickly — despite her onscreen character Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers’ sidekick, Goose.

“I’m nonetheless allergic,” she quipped to Entertainment Weekly in an interview revealed in July, noting she couldn’t do her MCU stunts when the feline was once present. “I'm hoping that adjustments. But until it does, a lot of the CGI budget goes towards me and the cat.”
