Football legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic recently joined popular streamer IShowSpeed in a live stream, resulting in a series of entertaining moments, including a hilarious ‘English or Spanish' challenge that left fans in stitches, reported by Speedy Updates.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic, known for his larger-than-life personality both on and off the pitch, decided to dive into the world of live streaming. He teamed up with IShowSpeed, a streamer famous for his energetic content and viral challenges. The duo embarked on a fun-filled car ride that quickly took a comedic turn.
The ‘English or Spanish' Challenge
As they were driving around, IShowSpeed suddenly asked Zlatan, “English or Spanish?” without providing any context. Zlatan, a bit puzzled, asked for clarification, showing that he was unaware of the trending social media challenge. The challenge, which has been taking over platforms like TikTok and Instagram, involves asking someone to choose between English or Spanish. After the person picks a language, the original asker then declares in that language that “the first one to move is gay,” and both participants must remain perfectly still.
Upon hearing the rules, Zlatan's competitive nature kicked in. The video shows both Zlatan and IShowSpeed completely freezing in place, determined to outlast each other. Minutes passed with neither of them moving a muscle, creating a hilarious and tense standoff. The normally vibrant car became a scene of silent, motionless concentration.
