Matthew Modine, the beloved actor who portrays Millie Bobby Brown's on-screen father in the hit series "Stranger Things," is still riding high on the waves of joy from officiating his co-star's opulent Italian wedding to Jake Bongiovi just three weeks ago.

Stepping out for a rare public appearance at Nobu Downtown in NYC, Modine joined the celebration of QUI tequila's release and the unveiling of Nobu's exclusive "2025 NOBU Rare" tequila alongside renowned artist Kaws.

During the event, Modine excitedly shared details of the off-screen wedding with acclaimed chef Nobu Matsuhisa, expressing his pride and enthusiasm for the experience. He even playfully quipped that officiating weddings might be his new side hustle.

Aside from his recent celebratory escapades, Modine also revealed his ongoing efforts to secure distribution for his award-winning independent film, "The Martini Shot," featuring iconic figures like John Cleese and Derek Jacobi.

The star-studded bash also saw the presence of Lure Fishbar owner John McDonald and music executive Charlie Walk, who eagerly discussed Nobu's upcoming 30th-anniversary festivities.

Accompanied by his family, including wife Lauran and son Jesse, who made a cameo as a news reporter in "Joker: Folie à Deux," Walk passionately endorsed the film, despite mixed reviews. Encouraging guests to watch the movie, Walk expressed immense pride, even admitting to being moved to tears by the production.
