How Austin Butler’s edible moment at a Bad Bunny concert became an internet sensation
Suddenly in the spotlight
When 33-year-old Austin Butler arrived at his “Caught Stealing” co-star Bad Bunny’s Puerto Rico show, he thought he would hide in the crowd and enjoy himself.
But fate had something else in store! Suddenly he was placed side stage in front of thousands of people.
A small “edible” and a big impact
Before the show started, someone gave Austin an edible.
In an interview with Jimmy Fallon, he jokingly said, “Sounded like a good idea at the time… until the impact started!”
A conflict going on in Austin’s mind
Austin was having two thoughts. On one hand, he was feeling proud of Benito (Bad Bunny) and enjoying the “sexy, amazing” atmosphere of Puerto Rico.
On the other hand, he was nervous that he might steal the spotlight of the show!
The “safe move” goes viral
Fans captured Austin swaying his waist with his arms folded – which they thought was his “safe move” to avoid being made into a meme.
The clip quickly took over social media.
Pop culture fear
Austin didn’t want to have a “Ben Affleck at the Grammys” moment, but he also didn’t want to be the guy dancing like a maniac.
He tried to balance, but the camera captured his every expression!
Stars are humans, too
This whole episode reminds us that celebrities are humans too.
Sometimes they get into awkward situations, and their reactions are just like ours – a little weird, a little funny, and very real!
Austin’s waist kept swaying, and his image became immortal on social media.
As people say – hips don’t lie… they sway a little (edible ka kamaal)!
