“Kuch nai karti din bhar, kya hoga tera life mai?” If I had a penny for every time my mom yelled this at me, I’d be a millionaire now! However, while I know my vellapanti doesn’t lead to anything productive, a Vietnamese man has actually become an internet sensation by doing NOTHING! What?!
Anh Tran Tan from Vietnam has become immensely popular after posting videos of himself expressionlessly staring into the camera. He does so while Vietnamese songs play in the background. See, I always knew doing nothing is an art!
Since posting his first video on a digital platform in September, Tan has reportedly got millions of views and likes. In fact, his followers have also increased significantly. In his videos Tan can be seen chilling on a hammock or simply sitting up, doing just one thing: staring straight at the camera.
In fact, there are no visual effects or anything else in the videos, it’s just his face shot in decentish lighting, yet he has become a star. Earlier a YouTuber from Indonesia had shared a video of himself sitting and doing absolutely nothing for over two hours.
What’s the secret behind their instant success? It’s nothing extraordinary but something that most of us are guilty of doing aka NOTHING! Well, now seems like a good time to tell my mother about my future plans! Bye! 😛
