Christopher Nolan has confessed that a Peleton instructor ripped into his film Tenet while he was attending a virtual class.
The Oppenheimer director, 53, said last Thursday that an instructor ripped into the 2020 action film - clearly unaware its director was one of the virtual attendees.
Nolan made the revelation as he accepted the award for Best Director for his 2023 hit Oppenheimer at the New York Film Critics Circle Awards last week.
“I was on my Peloton - I'm dying,” he said.
“And the instructor started talking about one of my films and said, ‘Did anyone see this? That's a couple hours of my life I'll never get back again!’”
Since then, fans online have tracked down the session in question.

And it turns out that Peloton Instructor, Jenn Sherman, who has more than 227,000 Instagram followers, was the one who hit out at the sci-fi epic.
In a clip posted online, Sherman can be seen discussing music track The Plan by Travis Scott, a song from the film's soundtrack.
“This song is from a soundtrack of a movie called Tenet - anybody see this s***?” she said.
“Did anybody see this besides me? Because I need a manual.
“Someone's got to explain this [movie,] I'm not kidding. Yeah, I'm not kidding, What the f*** was going on in that movie?
"Seriously, you need to be a neuroscientist to understand... that's two-and-a-half hours of my life that I want back.”
2020 sci-fi film Tenet, which starred John David Washington and Robert Pattinson, has a film bio that reads: “When a few objects that can be manipulated and used as weapons in the future fall into the wrong hands, a CIA operative, known as the Protagonist, must save the world.”
Nolan is hotly tipped to win big this awards season for his summer blockbuster about scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer and the making of the atomic bomb.
The movie stars Cillian Murphy, Florence Pugh and Emily Blunt.
