John Legend Is an EGOT Winner and Chrissy Teigen Can't Deal


From Cosmopolitan

John Legend has officially joined the elite group of people more talented than I will ever be and earned himself an EGOT. Meaning, he's now the proud owner of an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony Award. Which is a HUGE deal! And naturally Chrissy Teigen is psyched.

The supermodel and author hit Instagram to congratulate her husband, posting a sweet photo of her giving him a kiss on red carpet:

Meanwhile, John told ETthat winning was "kind of surreal," adding "It's something I never even thought about when I started my career. I probably wanted to win some GRAMMYs and sell a lot of records, and all that started happening pretty quickly, but I never dreamed that I would be here, winning an Emmy, and being in that rare group of people that have won all four of these major [awards]."

John also revealed that Chrissy adjusted her Lip Sync Battle filming schedule to see him win, which is so cute: "She was supposed to be taping Lip Sync Battle while we were here, and she convinced her producers to push the second show back so she could come here in between shows and see if we would win this EGOT. I was hoping that I would not disappoint her and make her trip a waste of time."

Congrats on living up to your last name, John Legend!!!!
