Larry David admittedly has few friends, so when the actor and comedian made a surprise appearance at Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen’s glitzy wedding to Hollywood actress Hailey Steinfeld, fans were understandably confused.
‘Larry David attending Josh and Hailee’s wedding was definitely not on my bingo card but I love it!!’ a member of the Buffalo fanbase known as the Bills Mafia wrote on X.
Dressed in a dark suit and sneakers, the 77-year-old Brooklynite was rather conspicuous in paparazzi photos from the ceremony in Montecito, California.
Many fans assumed the Seinfeld co-creator and star of Curb Your Enthusiasm wasn’t actually a guest, but filming a scene for a future episode of his hit HBO sitcom.
‘Are they shooting a new season of Curb and this was staged?’ one asked on X.
Many others joked about a potential Seinfeld/Steinfeld mix-up.
‘Sorry, I thought it said Seinfeld,’ one fan wrote. ‘But since I’m here… how’s the brisket?’

The 77-year-old David was reportedly a client of Steinfeld’s father, a well-known LA trainer

The connection between David and Allen wasn’t immediately apparent, given the former’s allegiance to the New York Jets, a divisional rival of the Bills.
However, David wasn’t likely invited as a guest of the groom. Rather, according to People.com, he is a client of the bride’s father, Los Angeles-area trainer Peter Steinfeld.
Peter claims to have worked with an array of stars such as Madonna, Eagles guitarist Glenn Frey, Ozzie Osbourne and David himself. In fact, Peter’s brother, Jake Steinfeld, is the creator of the Body By Jake fashion line, making personal fitness a bit of a family business.
Daily Mail was at the festivities on Saturday, where photographers captured the moment a beaming Steinfeld, 28, made her way up the aisle on the arm of her proud dad Peter.
In a modern twist, the actress dispensed with the traditional bridal bouquet and instead, accessorized her gown with full-length white gloves, large diamond studs and a frothy veil.

Later, the couple were seen celebrating saying ‘I do’ with a kiss in front of a clapping crowd of guests, with a dark suit-clad Allen seen looking proud as he made his way back down the aisle with his new wife.
The al-fresco wedding took place at the tony San Ysidro ranch in Montecito – a celebrity favorite that has previously seen Chris Pratt , Gwyneth Paltrow and Jessica Simpson marry in its grounds.
For Steinfeld and Allen, the gardens of the $3,000-a-night hotel had been decked out with bouquets of white roses, as well as elaborately trimmed bushes set out in pots.
Along with dad Peter, Steinfeld’s mom Cheri and brother Griffin were also among the guests looking on, as were Allen’s parents Joel and LaVonne, and his siblings Jason, Nicala and Makenna.
