Since being shared online, the video has gone insanely viral with a whopping 126 million views and thousands of comments from social media users. While some people were absolutely stunned to see the difference between their heights, others were not very impressed.

“She's a grown woman. Is it okay to hold her like that?” one user questioned. Another user commented, “This looks very uncomfortable and highly objectionable. It seems as if she is just a toy to him. I mean dude she is a living being and that's not how you treat a HUMAN especially when it's clearly visible how uncomfortable she is.”

“Put that grown lady down,” a third user wrote. A fourth user remarked, “Why is he picking her up? Isn't this woman an adult? Don't think this should make anyone laugh.”
