Oscar Isaac became synonymous with eating Flamin Hot Limn Crunchy Cheetos with chopsticks, when a photo of him doing just that went viral in 2016.

The Star Wars star seemed to be caught mid-act in the photo, wearing a black beanie, a red sweater and a thick mustache while enjoying his snack. It was a simple yet perplexing scene, and it spawned memes and copycats across the Internet:

Best of Oscar Isaac (@oscarisaacposts) March 19, 2016

Isaac finally broke down the story behind the viral photo Tuesday night on ABCs Jimmy Kimmel Live! The actor first explained the counter was littered with medicine because he had a bad cold, and he said that he had a mustache because of his character in the HBO mini-series Show Me A Hero.

I really was into flaming lime Cheetos, which at the time you couldnt get on the East Coast, its just from here he told Kimmel, whose show is filmed in Los Angeles. Chili-lime, its a very Latino kind of thing.

But why the chopsticks? Because the internets boyfriend likes to keep it classy, of course.

Im a sophisticated gentleman, so I didnt want to get the powder on my fingers, Isaac said.

Watch Isaac react in the clip above to fans who dressed up as him.
