Online memes erupt as Mark Zuckerberg uploads video of dancing and singing for his wife’s 40th birthday 

Mark Zuckerberg, the Meta CEO usually known for his work with Meta (constant updates on Instagram) rather than impromptu performances, stunned everyone on his wife Priscilla Chan’s 40th birthday. At his wife's 40th birthday celebration, Mark Zuckerberg takes off his suit and begins to perform while wearing a blue jumpsuit. Wearing the outfit from singer Benson Boone's 2025 Grammy performance of "Beautiful Things," the millionaire shocked his wife. "Your wife only has one 40th birthday!" On Instagram, Zuck said,

"Grateful to Benson Boone for the jumpsuit and new song."

His unexpected transformation from tech guru to party performer set off a chain reaction of online hit tweets and hot takes, leaving fans laughing, gasping, and welcoming Zuckerberg's new era!

Birthday beats and baby-blue jumpsuits: Zuck’s show-stopping surprise has everyone talking

One person exclaimed,

“What is going on with Zuck, surely this is fake! 😂"

While the shock was palpable across the internet, some users couldn’t help but comment on his attempt at showmanship.

“Dude wanted to be in a frat so bad," one user quipped, referencing Zuckerberg’s unexpected level of enthusiasm.

Other tweets played with the idea of Zuck, well, being human:

"Maybe he’s human after all," one user remarked, with a wink toward the often robotic demeanor the billionaire is known for.

Another tweet took a slightly different tone:

"Zuck looks very Barry Manilow," they wrote, perhaps referencing the singer’s iconic, showy style that Zuckerberg unexpectedly channeled.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a proper reaction meme-fest without commentary on his wardrobe choices.

"Central Casting Zuck is annoyingly outgoing," one Twitter user wrote, poking fun at the CEO’s surprisingly exuberant personality.

One particularly hilarious comment came in with a footwear critique:

"But he wore grandpa's shoes."

But despite all the memes, there was a hint of admiration sprinkled throughout.

"It was sort of awkward but sweet 😂," one tweet captured, acknowledging the effort Zuckerberg put into making his wife’s milestone birthday special.

The backstory behind Mark Zuckerberg's Grammy-inspired performance

On Feb. 28, Zuckerberg stunned party guests at his wife Priscilla Chan’s 40th birthday. Clad in a tuxedo, he dramatically shed it to reveal a tight, baby-blue jumpsuit—the same sparkly outfit singer Benson Boone wore during his Grammy performance just weeks earlier. Leaping onto a piano, the Meta CEO sang to a chorus of laughter and cheers.

Although the video’s soundtrack features Boone’s new single “Sorry I’m Here for Someone Else,” many noted his rendition more closely resembled the hit “Beautiful Things.” Boone, a former American Idol contestant, had earlier vented about the jumpsuit’s constriction at the 67th Grammy Awards, tweeting about its restrictive nature.

The spontaneous performance lit up the birthday scene and sparked a wave of digital chatter across social platforms, with memes, GIFs, and playful jokes flooding all our timelines. This mix of tech, pop culture, and heartfelt celebration encapsulates the unexpected intersections of modern celebrity life.

Despite the memes and jokes, the party audience appeared to enjoy the quirky performance, and Mark’s wife was visibly touched by the gesture, according to reports. It was, at the very least, an unexpected side of a tech billionaire not known for his emotional range.
