Mark Zuckerberg wears Benson Boone’s Grammy jumpsuit to perform at wife’s 40th – WATCH
Benson Boone wasn’t on hand to perform at a birthday celebration for Mark Zuckerberg‘s wife, so the Meta CEO decided to do it himself.
Benson Boone wasn’t on hand to perform at a 40th birthday celebration for Mark Zuckerberg‘s wife, philanthropist Priscilla Chan – so the Meta CEO decided to do it himself!
In a wild video posted to Zuckerberg’s Instagram, he jumps on stage at the black-tie party honouring his better half and spreads out his arms to let two friends tear away his tuxedo, revealing the Grammy jumpsuit underneath.
He then dives into an energetic performance – although it doesn’t look like Zuckerberg went as far as attempting Boone’s trademark backflip.
Boone responded to the post, writing ‘I can’t believe my eyes’.
That response was ‘liked’ over 20 000 times.
For those wondering, Boone performed his hit ‘Beautiful Things’ at this year’s Grammys.
Watch that goosebump performance below:
