A young woman approached what appeared to be a figure of Lionel Messi in Caminito, Buenos Aires, and without hesitation took him by the face as she leaned toward his ear and said to him, jokingly: “What’s up, legend of life? Everything okay?”. What she didn’t expect was the response.
The supposed statue of “Messi” replied completely naturally: “Everything okay”, while getting up to greet her. At that moment, the reaction was immediate: screams, surprise, and laughter.
It was all a street artist impersonating the footballer, creating a scene that quickly went viral on social media.
