Sports Stars Have Been Copying The Salt Bae Moves Live On TV And It’s Actually Hilarious

You would have to living under one very large rock in a remote location with (dare we say it) no access to internet to have missed the Salt Bae hysteria over the past month.

We can’t help but follow Salt Bae with a little extra interest seeing as the HUGE internet sensation is Nusret Gökçe chef and restaurant owner of Nusr_et, one of Dubai’s top restaurants (but what are we kidding, we’d be following him anyway).

It’s hard to keep up…

These days, you’ll find Salt Bae feeding the likes of Roger Federer and Leo Di Caprio (who was in Dubai recently),  meeting with royalty (the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi no less), and just recently hobnobbing with sporting legends like Brian O’ Driscoll at a recent sports awards…and it all started with one little video

This is the day Federer dropped in to say hello…

And now sports stars all over the world are imitating the move Salt Bae made famous…

‘slice slice slice’

Danny Welbeck has the posture DOWN

And judging by his Instagram, the love for Salt Bae is only getting bigger

His latest post: Over 5 million views IN ONE DAY…phew

Looking SLICK at a sports awards…also attended by Brian O’Driscoll and Usain Bolt

Brian was only delighted with the service…”Life made, meal ruined…worth it”

Doing what he does best

Food prep for an Oscar winner, no less

RIHANNA IS WEARING A T-SHIRT WITH SALT BAES FACE ON IT….this is huge

Keep up the good work Salt Bae!
