Rainn Wilson Wants Fans Of The Office To Cool It With This 1 Hilarious Prank

Rainn Wilson doesnt want to get beet down by a total Dwightmare.

Last week, the actor, who famously played Dwight Schrute on the American version of The Office , posted a very funny photo to Instagram. The Lessons in Chemistry actor, who was staying in a hotel in Florence, Italy, ordered room service and it seems like someone on the hotels kitchen staff is a pretty big fan of his former sitcom.

The photo shows a table brimming with food including red gelatin, which is encasing Wilsons silverware. 

The gag is a reference to the 2005 pilot episode of The Office, in which Jim Halpert (John Krasinski) pranks his co-worker Dwight by trapping his stapler in the same wiggly treat.

Wilson told People  over the weekend that he hopes fans dont get too carried away with this particular joke.

My fear is that I wont be able to go anywhere without stuff being put in Jell-O, Wilson said.

Ill go valet park, and then my car keys will be in Jell-O. And Ill go to a baseball game, and the baseball will be in Jell-O. And the list goes on and on. So I hope people cool it with the Jell-O jokes. Thats all. Unless its edible. I will eat my weight in Jell-O, he cracked.

Wilson, however, is not averse to fans expressing to him how much they appreciated his performance in The Office. 

In January, he shared a sweet note on Instagram that a fan wrote him on a napkin and dropped on his lap without him noticing during a flight.

The Office got me through some of the darkest days of my life, the note read. I cant thank you enough for that.

The message was signed Melanie, followed by Alaska flight attendant in parentheses.

So humbled to be a part of a show that affected, touched, comforted and inspired, Wilson wrote in the caption. And continues to do so! Its so fucking rare.
