Disney Channel star Christy Carlson Romano was left to freeze her butt off in below-freezing temperatures in New York City wearing only lingerie on Saturday after losing a Fifty Shades Of Grey bet. The 30-year-old wagered against her husband Brendan Rooney over whether the film would remain box office champ in its second week of release. The actress bet against the movie after watching it with her husband while he expected it to win the box office again.
‘I told [Brendan] how terrible it was and how I had major issues with the film, mostly the consent issue and I couldn’t wait to watch it fall off the next box office weekend,’ Christy said in a YouTube video.
‘Then he laughed and told me he knew it was going to stink but that I shouldn’t get my hopes up because it was definitely going to win the box office this weekend,’ she explained.
‘If he lost he would have to stand out on the freezing cold NY balcony for one full minute wearing only boxers. And if I lost I would stand out on the balcony in lingerie,’ she said of the wager.
Fifty Shades Of Grey had a steep drop in its second week but was still expected to remain tops at the box office this weekend with estimated ticket sales of $23.5million, according to Box Office Mojo.
The erotic romantic drama opened on Valentine’s Day weekend and had an impressive worldwide haul of $237 million. The film starring Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan pulled in $93 million in ticket sales in the US alone – the largest February opening ever.
