Is he the new ‘Rizzler' kid? Internet is obsessed with dancing little boy: ‘Love this kid'
He's got the moves.
With all the chaos going on in the world, sometimes all it takes is a funny, wholesome video to bring people together.
A young Asian boy is going viral for busting a move to a Pitbull song — and the internet can't get enough of him.

X (formerly Twitter) user @itsme_urstruly shared the adorable video with the caption, 'This is absolutely how everyone should feel music.'
The tweet has almost 14 million views, with many people agreeing with the X user's sentiment.

'Wow, love this vibe!' one person wrote.
'He's got the vibes of a drunk salaryman [white collar worker] at karaoke at 4am, the expressions are on point,' hilariously read another tweet in response.
'Love this kid!' read another tweet.
'Me in the club this weekend, 4 shots in,' joked another tweeter.

Another X user shared the video writing, 'The Chinese are closing the gap on Rizzler technology… it's never been more over.'
If you're confused about what the term 'Rizzler' means — it's the nickname of a young New Jersey social media personality, Christian Joseph.
Since 2023, Joseph has created a name for himself by creating humorous videos and by making the 'Rizz Face' — an expression where the 9-year-old squints his eyes, while stroking his chin. People say the Rizzler has an old-school Italian man trapped inside his body.

Some defensive X users didn't think the dancing kid even came close to the OG Rizzler.
'Not even close. One of Rizzler's defining traits is that he has the old soul of a 60-year-old Italian American construction worker from the Bronx with COPD trapped in a boy's body but also retains youthful wonder and whimsy. This kid is just a kid — he could be anyone.'
'No. They can never be him,' someone else quipped.
Yet, someone else agreed deeming this dancing kid the Chinese rizzler jokingly writing, 'I have a team of 20 people searching RedNote for the Chinese Rizzler.'
While others were more neutral: 'Every country has a regional Rizzler for sure.
RedNote is a Chinese social media app. It gained popularity in the US when people were fearful of the potential ban of TikTok in the US.

Bayern Munich held a meeting with Rafael Leão's representatives
Kicker report that Bayern Munich representatives held a meeting last week with the entourage of Milan forward Rafael Leão (25). With no new contract for Leroy Sané and Serge Gnabry's contract expiring in 2026, the Bundesliga champions exploring their options for reinforcements in the wide areas. Per the report, Leão is not averse to joining Bayern, who held a meeting with the Portuguese's representatives at the end of last week with the Rekordmeister showing genuine interest. Advertisement Leão – who scored 12 goals and provided 13 assists in 50 games for Milan last season – holds a contract with the Lombardy club until 2028. However, although there is interest from both the club and player, a potential stumbling block is Milan's valuation. Kicker cite Italian sources who claim that Milan want in excess of €100m for their prized asset, potentially too much for Bayern Munich who have also been priced out of a move for Florian Wirtz.

The Genius Way to Make Leftover Pizza 10x Better
I'm a sucker for a good food mashup. Think sushi burritos and donut burgers—gloriously over-the-top combos that somehow just work. But every so often, I stumble across one that makes me pause mid-scroll and question the sanity of the Internet. That's exactly what happened when I saw this epic creation from TikTok account @seriousfoodfetish. It's a pizza sandwich, a salad pizza and a chicken pizza all at once—and it's as wild as it sounds!Related: 😋😋 SIGN UP to get delicious recipes, handy kitchen hacks & more in our daily Pop Kitchen newsletter.🍳🍔 This isn't just a sandwich. This is a culinary dare, a tower of chaos that only a true comfort food enthusiast could dream up. Here's how you make it: take two slices of leftover pizza (yes, two entire slices), air fry them to get the cheese all melty and the crust crisp again. While the pizza is heating up, toss together a Caesar salad (it's all about the balance). Next, air fry a breaded chicken fillet until it's golden and comes the fun part! Pile some of that fresh Caesar salad on top of one slice of pizza (cheese side up), add the crispy chicken, then layer on even more salad. Top it with the second slice of pizza (cheese side down) and give it a good press. Wrap it up, slice it in half, and prepare yourself for a mind-bending bite that somehow makes At first glance, this sandwich sounds like a chaotic mix of leftovers, but there's a method to the madness. The crispiness of the air-fried pizza crust acts like a sturdy sandwich bread, while the gooey cheese melts into the chicken and salad, tying all the flavors together. The Caesar salad adds a refreshing crunch and a bit of tang that cuts through the richness of the cheese and chicken, keeping the whole thing from becoming too heavy. It's the kind of over-the-top, unapologetic comfort food that can only come from someone who truly understands the joy of combining unexpected flavors and textures. Also, you would probably consider eating a Caesar salad as a side dish for a slice of pizza. This mashup just puts the two things together in one dish. Related: Feeling brave? Take this already outrageous mashup to new levels. Swap the Caesar salad for buffalo sauce-drenched lettuce, add blue cheese crumbles and use a spicy, breaded chicken fillet for a sandwich that packs a fiery punch. Stick with the Italian theme and make a chopped salad (romaine, cheese, your favorite Italian meats) and layer that with the chicken. Hit everything with a drizzle of Italian dressing before closing the sandwich for a true Italian deli-inspired twist. Use BBQ chicken pizza slices, a crispy fried chicken fillet and a slathering of ranch dressing. Add a few pickled jalapeños for a bit of heat. If you're still on the fence, just think about how satisfying it will be to hold this monster of a sandwich in your hands, knowing you've defied both culinary logic and the rules of reasonable sandwich-making. Plus, it's the perfect way to use up those random leftover pizza slices you'd normally just reheat and eat over the sink (we've all been there). So why not take a leap of faith and bite into something wild and wonderful? Up Next:

Meet the new Karate Kids of 'Legends': Ben Wang and Aramis Knight
Meet the new Karate Kids of 'Legends': Ben Wang and Aramis Knight Show Caption Hide Caption 'Karate Kid: Legends' trailer: Ralph Macchio teams with Jackie Chan Ralph Macchio's karate sensei and Jackie Chan's kung fu shifu work together to train a martial arts prodigy in "Karate Kid: Legends." In every 'Karate Kid' movie, there's a teen hero and an absolute jerk of a bully. The original 1984 movie featured Ralph Macchio getting pummeled mercilessly until he finally beat William Zabka, though their rival characters became friends in 'Cobra Kai.' Then there's 1994's 'The Next Karate Kid,' which gave us Hilary Swank vs. young Walton Goggins. A couple of new enemies, both 25, enter the fray in 'Karate Kid: Legends' (in theaters now). Ben Wang plays Li Fong, a kung fu-trained youngster recently moved to New York City, and Aramis Knight is Conor Day, a karate-champ classmate who seethes after the newcomer befriends Conor's ex (Sadie Stanley). Trash talk and beatdowns commence, all leading to a faceoff in the championship of a local karate tournament. Join our Watch Party! Sign up to receive USA TODAY's movie and TV recommendations right in your inbox Director Jonathan Entwistle says Wang has a 'Marty McFly quality' to him, playing a Chinese Peter Parker-type character, and he told Knight he was 'playing something actually quite iconic: the bad guy in a cool outfit.' Time will tell if their characters hug it out 30 years from now, 'Cobra Kai' style, for a Netflix show. In the meantime, here's what fans of these new karate kids need to know about Wang and Knight: Ben Wang shares a similar origin story to new 'Karate Kid' In 'Legends,' Li Fong relocates from his native undefined with his mother (Ming-Na Wen). Wang finds a parallel to his own life story, but with a twist: He moved from Shanghai to small-town Northfield, Minnesota, with his mom when he was 6, and ended up at drama school in the Big Apple. 'I didn't have to dig very deep for a lot of the stuff. Mostly the hardest part was the squats,' says Wang, who starred in the Disney+ series 'American Born Chinese' and also appeared in the movies 'Mean Girls' and 'Chang Can Dunk.' His next film is the Stephen King dystopian horror adaptation 'The Long Walk' (undefined) and Wang has also been cast in next year's 'Hunger Games' prequel 'Sunrise on the Reaping." Like his 'Karate Kid' character, Wang trained in martial arts early, doing after-school taekwondo, and has studied other Chinese forms like Wing Chun kung fu. The acting aspect, however, came when he realized, 'I wasn't any good at sports, and I wanted friends.' Wang's first play at age 10 was 'A Midsummer Night's Dream,' he says, 'but it wasn't Shakespeare's 'Midsummer Night's Dream.' ' Still, "I was like, oh, I've never actually had that kind of fun before in my life. I mean, I had no plan to do it professionally, but it ended up working out for the best." Aramis Knight earned his martial arts stripes in the 'Badlands' Knight might seem like a Hollywood newcomer, but he's already built an extremely varied 20-year career, on shows including 'Lost,' 'Dexter' and 'NCIS,' plus movie roles in 'The Dark Knight Rises' and 'Ender's Game.' Most noteworthy, however, is his action-packed TV work: Knight starred in the post-apocalyptic drama 'Into the Badlands' as well as Marvel's 'Ms. Marvel.' 'Badlands' was 'the perfect crash course' in martial arts, and co-star Daniel Wu became his mentor in wushu. The night he heard he got the role, "I remember me and my mom just thinking like, 'Damn, how am I going to do this?' " While he was "fairly athletic" and played a lot of basketball when he was younger, "I was not flexible at all," he says. "undefined' After training and doing the show for three seasons, 'I'm pretty sure I tore and rebuilt every muscle imaginable just to get to the point where I'm at now,' Knight says. 'I'm by no means an expert but I'm no slouch. I can definitely look like I'm very good at it.' Knight wants to play 'bigger-than-life, almost unrecognizable' characters, yet "it's harder when you're young to play those like Gary Oldman-esque parts,' he says. Being a karate villain is a step in that character actor direction. 'You kind of get the free pass to do things that you wouldn't normally do in your real life. Just be a little more disrespectful than Aramis would personally ever be,' Knight says. 'I'm an integral part in Li Fong becoming this triumphant hero. There's got to be sort of a fall from grace, and that's really what Conor is for Li. 'I wanted to fill those shoes and be this iconic but also traditional 'Karate Kid' bad guy. I felt like I was carrying the torch a bit.'
