Tiktoker de Chivasso Khaby Lame is proving to be one of TikTok’s most interesting influencers after a dizzying rise that began just a few weeks ago. In just over a month, the 21-year-old entered the platform’s top 100 most famous personalities, climbing to fourth place, and has never stopped producing comedic content that it feeds its constantly growing subscribers every day. The last clip is however slightly different from the others as it has an exceptional guest: Brazilian footballer Arthur Melo, under the Brazilian national team and currently midfielder in Italy for the Juventus team.
The quote from Avengers: Age of Ultron
The latest tiktok released by Khaby Lame is therefore dedicated to football fans (like Khaby himself), but also to superhero comics. The gag between the tiktoker and the footballer actually recreates a scene from the Marvel movie Avengers: Age of Ultron, which fans of the Avengers movie saga surely remember: that of Thor’s hammer, which none of the superheroes – or almost – can separate from the god of lightning himself. In the clip, Melo try to lift the famous hammer without however being able to move it by a millimeter; Khaby intervenes seconds later, lifting the tool effortlessly, just like Thor would in the movie.
The clip plays on the same underlying theme of most of Khaby’s other videos, namely that of reactions to other people’s clips. In this series of tiktoks that made him famous around the world, the boy he answers with disbelief and recklessness other videos in which the protagonists perform simple operations that make things too complicated; the union of the two situations, along with Khaby’s expressiveness, has touched the ropes of millions who still reward him with affection and appreciation online. His success became such that Melo was not the first VIP guest to participate in a gag with Khaby: just a few days ago, former footballer Alessandro Del Piero was playing with the tiktoker.
