Simone Biles is the best gymnast on the planet. Jonathan Van Ness is a noted gymnastics enthusiast. Together, they make an epic tumbling team.
The 25-time World Artistic Gymnastics Championships medalist and Queer Eye star collaborated on choreography and skills to create a hilarious series of commercials for Uber Eats. Throughout the ads, the duo — dubbed the “Van Biles” team — discusses their meal orders and practices various stunts, all while wearing matching leotards.
First, the duo found themselves hanging out on the bars:
Then, they both decide to order cheesy cauliflower pizza with broccolini for dinner and complete similar tumbling passes before Biles asks “Is that my leotard?” and tells Van Ness “you can keep it.”
Van Ness and Biles spent some time on the balance beam, too. After the famed Queer Eye hairstylist ordered a falafel wrap with sweet potato fries through Uber Eats, Biles asked if they could go “splitsies.” But Van Ness misunderstood and instead descended into a full split on the beam right next to Biles.
Biles and Van Ness also shared mockumentary-style clips to their Instagrams in which they discuss their budding tumbling partnership and friendship. Van Ness says he and Biles are "just two peas in a pod; we're literal best friends," but the five-time Olympic medalist quickly qualifies his assertion, adding with a straight face that "this is the first time we've met, actually."
With that said, Biles admits that "JVN's choreography is better than all of ours."
