Some people can wiggle their ears. Others can cross their eyes or whistle like a bird. And then there’s a girl named Sarah whose funny talent is especially entertaining—and unique. The 13-year-old from Sydney, Australia, can make her eyebrows dance.
Sarah, whose last name and back story are unknown, posted a video of herself performing impressive eyebrow dance moves to music last week and became an Internet sensation in a matter of days. Her YouTube video, “Girl with a Funny Talent,” has been viewed more than 7 million times.
Sarah’s video was inspired by the 2009 Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate bar advertisement with two kids performing a synchronized eyebrow dance. The ad featured the same electro-funk soundtrack (Freestyle’s “You Don’t Stop the Rock”), but computer generated imagery was used to animate the kids’ brows.
Sarah’s brow-bending dance doesn’t seem to be the result of computer tricks. Soon after her video went viral, she posted a follow-up and told her fans that her talent is real. She also invited viewers to visit her Facebook page and request songs for future brow performances. Her Facebook page already has 33,000 fans.
