This on-field celebration is Hallie and Annie approved!
During the NFL matchup between the Minnesota Vikings and the New York Jets in London on October 6, Vikings safeties Camryn Bynum and Josh Metellus delighted fans by recreating a classic routine from The Parent Trap.
Bynum, 26, made an interception from Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the first quarter and immediately launched into the choreography made famous by Lindsay Lohan’s Annie and her butler Martin (played by Simon Kunz) in the beloved 1998 Disney film. With hand slaps, hip bumps, and a playful pose, their execution was spot-on.
Fans were thrilled to see the duo’s tribute to the iconic movie. One commenter joked, “Omg do I have to become a Vikings fan now????” while another noted, “The best part of this is their teammates in the background happily watching 🤣.” A third fan added, “Can’t believe no one had thought of this sooner lol.”
One user even combined the Parent Trap clip with the Vikings’ celebration, syncing it to the film’s classic tune, “Soulful Strut.”
Known for his spirited celebrations, Bynum had clearly planned this tribute. “We’re on a generational celebration run right now, three weeks in a row,” he shared in a post-game press conference, as reported by Sports Illustrated.
“We’ve had some fire celebrations,” he continued, “but this might have been one of my favorites just because that’s one of my favorite movies, and it’s based in London. As soon as I knew we were playing in London, and I watched The Parent Trap last week, I’m like, ‘This is it.’”
Bynum aims to have a new celebration ready for each game while still preparing for the match itself. “That’s one of my favorite movies and I had to shout out to London for that one,” he remarked.
Previously, Bynum had also wowed fans with a recreation of Usher’s Glitch dance during a September game against the Houston Texans and performed a backflip following a fumble recovery against the Green Bay Packers on September 29.
In the end, the Vikings secured a 23-17 victory over the Jets, bringing their record to a remarkable 5-0 this season.
