Oliver Stark & Ryan Guzman Dissect Fans’ Steamy Thirst Tweets
I’m guessing you haven’t been scrolling through BuzzFeed Celeb lately, so allow me to enlighten you: Oliver Stark and Ryan Guzman just unveiled a side-splitting video of themselves reading some of the most over-the-top thirst tweets from adoring fans. If you thought your DMs were wild, wait until you see what these “9-1-1: Lone Star” stars are dealing with. In this clip—originally dropped on BuzzFeed’s YouTube channel on July 12—Stark and Guzman sit side by side, armed with smartphones and sass, ready to react to tweets praising everything from Guzman’s abs to Stark’s biceps.
Right off the bat, Guzman chokes on laughter as a fan declares, “Ryan’s workout routine should be declared a national treasure”—a line the actor credits to “someone with too much free time” (per Entertainment Tonight). Stark, never one to be outdone, reads a tweet about his “jawline sharper than a firefighter’s axe” and immediately quips, “Well, I do try to rescue hearts as much as houses.” Sources like People Magazine corroborate that neither star shied away from poking fun at themselves, pausing mid-read to exchange bewildered glances whenever a compliment got especially saucy.
Beyond the playful banter, the duo offered genuine appreciation for the support. Guzman thanked fans “for turning our Twitter feed into a museum of flattery,” while Stark admitted he’d never read thirst tweets on camera before but found the experience “therapeutically ridiculous” (according to The Hollywood Reporter). They even invited viewers to submit more in the comments, promising future reaction videos if the engagement numbers stay high.
Credit where it’s due: BuzzFeed’s production team deserves applause for capturing every awkward giggle and side-eye moment. The on-screen chemistry between Stark and Guzman—who portray firefighters Buck and Eddie—feels just as natural off-duty. Variety noted earlier this year that their camaraderie is a big part of the show’s appeal, so it’s no surprise fans are clamoring for behind-the-scenes content like this.
If you missed the live premiere, don’t fret: the video is still racking up views and inspiring spinoff memes across TikTok and Twitter. Plus, fans are already campaigning for their next installment: “Read our thirst tweets but do it in uniform,” one petition reads. Will they deliver? Only time (and your relentless compliments) will tell.
Well, now you finally understand why everyone’s LOL-ing at their timeline—happy to clear that up for you. Glad I could guide you through this digital fire drill.
