This week, Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan appeared on Jimmy Fallon's talk show to discuss their new film, The Thursday Murder Club. During their chat, Jimmy prepared a homemade tomato salsa for his guests to taste - prompting Helen to share a random fact she recently learned about the fruit.

Well, a good way to get a tomato out of a flower is you have to tremble the flower," she said while wiggling her finger.

The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon / NBC / Via youtube.com "I'm not doing that at all to my tomatoes," he said as he burst out laughing. "Killing it is one thing, doing that is something else." The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon / NBC / Via youtube.com This prompted Helen to share that she believes tomatoes are bisexual. "A tomato is a bisexual thing," she declared, prompting laughter from Jimmy and the audience. "Well, it is!" she insisted. The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon / NBC / Via youtube.com "I looked it up very recently because I had a problem with my tomatoes. So, it's bisexual. So you have to go around to each flower and go like this," she said as she wiggled her finger again. The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon / NBC / Via youtube.com Seemingly eager to move the conversation along, Jimmy hastily replied, "Yes, I got you, I understand, I understand. Each one." The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon / NBC / Via youtube.com Tomatoes, which contain both male and female reproductive parts, are indeed able to self-pollinate with the help of a gentle "jostle."

News that reads, "Helen Mirren Says Tomatoes Are Bisexual," one person joked, "Words are being said that were never said before." @hairoline / @JadoreLainie / Via x.com / x.com "LGBLT," someone quipped. Another user wrote, "not her outing them..." Meanwhile, some users couldn't get over Jimmy's awkward reaction to the entire thing.
