Dave Grohl is ‘Brat,’ Does Viral Charli XCX Dance with Daughter
Dave Grohl has joined the growing trend of doing the Charli XCX “Apple” dance on social media. Spoiler alert: It’s adorable.
Grohl can be seen in the video below, which his daughter, Harper, originally shared on her TikTok.
The “Apple” dance, of course, originated with Charli XCX, whose album Brat has been a massive critical and commercial hit since its release in June. Don’t be surprised when the album nabs some Grammy nominations later this year.
The pop star shared the dance on TikTok on June 28. The caption on the video simply reads, “epic choreo moment incoming on sweat tour.”
Since then, the dance has taken off and has become the thing to do on social media and beyond. Even Stephen Colbert did it on The Late Show. Naturally, he was then dubbed “Stephen Colbrat.”
Dave Grohl’s Previous Viral Moment
This is the second time Grohl has gone viral in July. Earlier this month, the Foo Fighters frontman took the internet by storm when he attended Wimbledon with his wife, Jordyn Blum. Grohl and Blum were seated in the Royal Box, and the normally casual rocker was wearing a dashing suit.
GQ had a detailed breakdown of Grohl’s look, which was comprised of “a two-button navy pinstriped suit, gold printed necktie, Ray-Ban shades, and suede Dolce & Gabbana loafers.” GQ also referenced Wimbledon’s dress code in the Royal Box, which requires men to wear a tie while sitting in the Royal Box, and how the sporting event is considered “the Met Gala for people who like nice, normal clothes.“
GQ also noted, “It’s unclear if the frontman is a big tennis fan, but Blum’s—who also dressed for the occasion in a collared blue Gucci dress and dark shades—forearm tattoo of crossed tennis rackets could give us a clue for the couple’s afternoon outing.”
The idea that Grohl attended Wimbledon for his wife was seemingly reinforced when a BBC reporter asked him for his prediction for the event. Grohl said, “What? What? No clue. Couldn’t say.”
Many were impressed with Grohl’s sharp-dressed look. One X user wrote, “Dave Grohl in his Wimbledon suit is an absolute vibe.” Of course, you can’t impress everyone. Another user wrote, “Dave Grohl at Wimbledon looks like every bum of a guy who shows up at court for his DWI hearing in a suit he last wore to a wedding two years ago.” (One word: Yeesh!)
