Adam22, the founder of the No Jumper podcast, is opening up about a hookup he says he does not remember having with Chloe Cherry, the adult film actress turned HBO Euphoria breakout who plays Faye on the show. The revelation surfaced this week after a clip from his podcast made the rounds on X.
Adam22, whose real name is Adam Grandmaison, told viewers that he had slept with Cherry at some point in the past and only pieced it together while rewatching Euphoria with his wife, Lena Nersesian, better known online as Lena The Plug. Cherry’s character Faye is a recurring presence across multiple episodes of the HBO drama, and the moment her face filled the screen, the memory apparently clicked.
The clip in question carries the official No Jumper YouTube handle, which has been the home base for Adam22’s podcast since 2011 and currently counts close to five million subscribers on the platform. The video, posted to YouTube under the title ‘Adam Admits He Slept with an Actress from Euphoria,’ has circulated widely on X through the official No Jumper account.
Adam22 married content creator Lena Nersesian in 2023, and the couple share one child. Both names have been central figures in the No Jumper orbit for years, with the podcast serving as a launchpad for underground hip-hop artists and a steady source of viral moments. Lena The Plug, who rose to prominence on YouTube in the early 2010s, brought her own audience to the marriage and remains a frequent on-air presence alongside her husband.
Chloe Cherry, born Chloe Couture on August 23, 1997 in Pennsylvania’s Lancaster County, pivoted to mainstream acting after years in adult film work. Her breakout came when she was cast as Faye in HBO’s Euphoria, a role she has spoken about openly in interviews, including a detailed conversation on the Going Mental podcast where she discussed the mental health toll of overnight fame. She released her debut single ‘I Want More Money’ in December 2024 and has continued to branch into music and festival films alongside her acting work.
In the resurfaced clip, Adam22 walks viewers through the realization, describing the moment he spotted Cherry on screen and connected it to a past encounter. The exact timeline of the alleged hookup remains unclear, and neither Cherry nor Lena Nersesian has publicly confirmed or denied the story. Cherry has not yet addressed the No Jumper clip on her own social media, and representatives for HBO did not respond to a request for comment.
Online reaction to the clip was fast and split. Some viewers treated the admission as a standard No Jumper shock moment, while others latched onto the detail that Adam22 only remembered the encounter while watching the show with his wife sitting next to him. A wave of memes flooded X within hours, riffing on the awkward geometry of realizing a past hookup while binging the show your current partner picked for the evening.
No Jumper has built its audience on long, unfiltered conversations with rap artists and internet personalities, and Adam22’s willingness to talk openly about his own life has been a key part of the show’s appeal since its earliest episodes. The hookup admission fits that template and lands the same way past No Jumper viral moments have landed, with a clip that travels on its own through X and YouTube regardless of how the rest of the internet feels about it.
For now, the story lives mostly on social media, where the No Jumper account reposted the clip and fans have run with it. Neither Adam22 nor Cherry has elaborated beyond the original clip, and Lena The Plug has kept her feed focused on other content. Whether the story stays confined to a viral moment or grows into a longer back and forth between the parties involved will likely depend on how much airtime the clip keeps getting on X.
