Grandma Pranked With Photo of a Saint, as She Has No Idea Who He Really Is

A hilarious prank on a grandma has left the internet in stitches after going viral on TikTok, getting millions of views since it was posted.

In the viral clip, which was posted Friday by TikTok user @juuditesteve, the poster can be seen gifting her grandma a picture of singer Harry Styles edited into a saint's vest, looking realistic enough to fool the woman into believing it was an actual saint.

The video comes along with a caption that reads: "I gifted my grandma a Harry Styles picture telling her it's a saint." Followed by: "When my grandma realizes she'll kill me. But meanwhile, she can pray to him hahah."

As the grandma opens her gift to find Saint Harry Styles, she can be heard saying: "Oh, the lord!" At the same time, her granddaughter can be heard saying: "This is the patron saint of England."

A little skeptical about the picture, the poster's grandpa then asks, "Which saint is he?" in which his granddaughter tells him "Eduardo" while her grandma is busy asking her new favorite saint to protect her family from all evil.

"Where are you going to hang it?" the granddaughter asks her grandma, who says she'll keep it right on the table in her room. "Oh, he's handsome," the grandma adds, as she tells another another woman at the table, "My granddaughter brought me this from London."

The woman also fell for the trap who can be heard saying: "Such a pretty face! He's so pretty he looks like a girl!" The poster certainly didn't fool her grandpa, who when asked "Who do you think he looks like?" answered: "He looks like Camilo Sesto," a Spanish singer from the 50s.

When it comes to religion, less than half of all Americans, about 47 percent, identify as religious, while 33 percent identify as spiritual, according to a September Gallup poll. Among age groups, those aged 65 and older are most likely to identify as religious, at 57 percent, compared with between 38 and 48 percent of those in younger age groups, who instead are more likely to identify as spiritual.

TikTok Users React

The video quickly went viral on TikTok, and has so far received over 3.3 million views 477,000 likes on the social media platform.

One TikTok user Eliana.alistte commented: "Saint Harry Styles," while user Ba wrote: "She wouldn't stop kissing him."

Iside The Bengal Cat added: "I really hope Harry sees this."
