A video of two grandparents who were experiencing difficulties in capturing a photograph using their webcam was leaked onto the internet by their granddaughter and has now made the couple unlikely internet sensations.
Since it was posted online on the popular video-sharing website, YouTube, it has attracted more than two million views.
The video titled ‘Web Cam 101 for Seniors’, shows Bruce, 86, pulling faces, complaining about his wrinkles and singing to his wife, Esther, as she attempts to learn how to take a photo using their newly set-up webcam. However, the couple were unaware that they had in fact clicked the ‘record’ button and were filming their conversation which has reportedly brought laughter across the globe.
In the two-minute long video, Bruce flirts with his wife, compliments her hair – and even cheekily asks his wife to “drop [her] dress a little bit”.
The pair told The Huffington Post they were pleasantly surprised at their new found fame.
“I did not know anything about YouTube, but apparently it is spreading like wildfire,” Esther said.
“We certainly didn’t plan it, but there is so much bad news out there, we are glad we could put something fun out there,” she added.
