Actor Noah Centineo is being accused of buying a yearlong subscription to Disney+ just so that he could cancel it in solidarity with Jimmy Kimmel. In an Instagram story posted on Friday, Centineo shared a screenshot of a message he received from Disney informing him that his subscription had been cancelled. However, eagle-eyed fans were quick to notice that the message underneath stated he could still use the service until Sept. 18, 2026, meaning the actor either had a rolling subscription that renewed each year on Sept. 19 or had purchased a 12-month plan only to cancel it immediately. “Save money today” the star wrote in a caption accompanying the post, which has since been deleted. The Disney+ boycott was sparked after ABC announced it was cancelling Jimmy Kimmel Live! last week, following remarks made by the host about the shooting of Charlie Kirk. Following a widespread backlash that saw droves of people cancel their Disney+ accounts in protest, the network eventually reversed its decision on Monday. Kimmel is set to return to screens on Tuesday.
