Welcome to the new This Week viral, in which we look for the hits on social media this week, in addition to the things we have often seen ourselves. Here we go.
Max Verstappen’une
As a driver, Max Verstappen will undoubtedly speak some Italian, because that is the language of racing. However, it turns out that he can also speak a little French. With emphasis on: a little.
Chewing on a pine branch
Reese Witherspoon recently went viral for eating snow: Marijke Helwegen thought she could do this too. But how do you approach that when there is no snow? Then you choose the next best thing: chewing on a pine branch.
Doctor Who returns in May
The immensely popular Doctor Who always goes viral when something is reported and now that was two things in one: a date on which it will be broadcast and a teaser. It features the Fourteenth Doctor, played by Ncuti Gatwa and accompanied by Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson). It will be on Disney+ on May 14, but if you can’t wait, it will be on BBC on May 11. It promises to be another exciting time travel adventure, in which the Doctor must solve a mystery that has apparently been around for some time.
Hans Kraaij shocks the British
Hans Kraaij Jr is going viral in Great Britain because he tackles a footballer there, Hendersom. Do you think it’s too direct?
Our own king
Speaking of the well-known Dutch directness, our king knows how to make friends and enemies with a joke he made a few days ago. He said when someone mentioned a photo of the king, at least he hadn’t photoshopped it. Oops, fans of the British royal family are less happy about that after Photoshopgate.
