Watch: Brazilian nun's beatboxing performance breaks the Internet

Indian Express28-05-2025
A Brazilian nun is winning hearts worldwide after demonstrating her beatboxing talent on live television. Sister Marizele Cassiano went viral following her phenomenal appearance on a Catholic TV channel on May 20.
The now-viral video shows the nun – dressed in a blue skirt, white blouse, and her traditional white habit – impressively transitioning from singing to beatboxing, continuing with an impromptu dance session with a fellow nun and a priest. Sister Marizele started with a melodic tune before shifting to rhythmic sounds using just her mouth and tongue.
Her performance quickly prompted another nun, who joined her with some dance moves, and moments later, a priest in a black robe jumped in, adding to the performance.
Speaking to the Associated Press, Sister Marizele said, 'That moment was very spontaneous, because with Sister Marisa, if you start a beat, she will dance.' She also said, 'And I'm used to singing, to beatboxing, so for us it was very simple, spontaneous, and at the same time very surprising to see that it went viral even outside Brazil.'

The light-hearted moment immediately caught the Internet's attention, with many viewers comparing the trio to characters from 'Sister Act,' the iconic 90s film where Whoopi Goldberg's character brings soul and rhythm to a convent choir. 'They work with vulnerable young guys, and they use hip-hop to get a connection with them. It's just an amazing job. Congratulations,' a user wrote.
'I love Nuns. They always have an unexpected talent up their sleeves,' another user commented. 'i mean the beat boxing is fire but what about those moves? HEAVENLY' a third user reacted.
In 2022, a video of a nun gracefully dancing to the Malayalam song Aayiram padasarangal kilungi in Kerala won hearts on social media. The nun, the headmistress of St Marcellina's Gild High School, performed at her farewell function, reports said.

When Miranda met Andy! Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway spotted shooting together for The Devil Wears Prada sequel

The marketing team working the scene for The Devil Wears Prada sequel is clearly working overtime! Spotted! Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway shoot for The Devil Wears Prada 2 together in New York City (Photo: X) The sequel the rom com crowd has been waiting on for over 2 decades kept surging in and out of headlines earlier this year with a proper confirmation being dropped in May. It proceeded to go into production as the calendar turned to July and since then the streets of New York City have become (a) 'R'unway — pun intended. Anne Hathaway won fans' hearts for the millionth time when she recorded herself getting ready to head to work for Devil Wears Prada 2, in a cerulean blue sweater nonetheless! Now while everyone thought that's all the intel they'd have till the film storms theatres way down the line, Anne has been having quite some fun on her Instagram, even sharing her first ever look stepping back into her Andy Sachs era, though the fit choice feels like Miranda Priestly's sartorial training from the original film has stuck with her (character). Soon enough, she was seen flitting through the streets of NYC, reminiscent of her early Runway days. A casual trench fit stopping a fleet of traffic also made its way to the Internet till it stood completely upstaged by — no points for guessing — Meryl Streep's Miranda! Dress in lavender, tan, beige and the character's trade mark layered white crop bob, it's safe to say Miranda's first sighting from the film completely upstaged Andy's. Now if you thought your little heart stuck in the hallways of Runway from back in 2006 couldn't take it anymore, there's now a shot of Miranda and Andy, erm, we mean Meryl and Anne, shooting together! And of course, the snap is giving us…everything. Miranda is poised is her red bowed heels, a casual white blouse and a slim fit black skirt with a light beige trench for layering. The shell-rimmed sunnies add a chic finish. Andy on the other hand is giving updated rich b*tch millennial energy in her perfectly fitted wide leg white pants and an oversized white t-shirt — with a train nonetheless! White pumps, chunky neck pieces and rimmed sunnies complete the look. Both are being directed to position in the shot that's now going viral and it throws up a host of questions. Have Miranda and Andy reunited back at Runway? Is Runway even part of the narrative? Are they finally equal in social stature? We can hardly wait to have these questions answered! Besides Anne and Meryl, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci will also be returning to reprise their respective roles of Emily and Nigel in the sequel. Kenneth Branagh has been roped in to play Miranda's husband with Patrick Bremmall locked in to play Andy's love interest. The supporting cast too has expanded with the likes of Lucy Liu, Justin Theurox, BJ Novak and Pauline Chalamet have been brought on for undisclosed roles. The Devil Wears Prada 2 is eyeing a May Day release next year.

‘You look like Ozzy Osbourne': Swedish drummer Don Crash's uncanny resemblance to rock legend sends the Internet into a frenzy

Is it Ozzy Osbourne… or just a long-haired rock drummer from Sweden? Don Crash, Swedish drummer of rock band H.E.A.T., has sent the Internet into a double-take frenzy after posting a now-viral Instagram video where he reveals just how much he looks like the Prince of Darkness — Ozzy Osbourne — himself. In the clip, Crash recalls a fan sending him a photo and saying, 'This guy looks like you.' When he responds saying, 'That's me,' fan says, 'No, that's Ozzy.' What follows is a jaw-dropping series of side-by-side photos comparing Crash and Osbourne — both sporting signature tinted sunglasses, long dark hair, and that unmistakable rock 'n' roll aura. Crash captioned the video: 'You guys be the judge! I'm @doncrash, long-haired drummer from Scandinavia, touring the world with my band. I grew up on legends like him. Now I'm doing my part to keep rock alive.' While the post has amused many fans, Crash made it clear it was meant as a tribute rather than a parody. He also expressed deep emotion over the recent passing of a 'true legend,' referring to the loss of a music icon, presumably someone from Ozzy's close circle or perhaps a tribute to the aging rocker himself. 'This is just a fun coincidence that I wanted to share, sent to me by a fan,' he wrote. 'I have nothing but love and respect for Ozzy Osbourne and his family going through a tough time right now.' Crash also revealed that he grew up playing Black Sabbath and Ozzy tunes on the drums — a passion that clearly shaped his musical journey. 'A few years back I got the opportunity to share stage with Ozzy at a festival in Spain, playing just before him with my band @heatsweden. A memory for life,' he added. A post shared by 𝐃𝐎𝐍 𝑪𝑹𝑨𝑺𝑯 (@doncrash) Fans flooded the comments section. A user wrote, 'Oh! My! God!!! Your mom has some explaining to do.' Another user commented, 'If they make a movie of his life, you could play him.' A third person commented, 'Wow that's amazing! But you're a lot better looking than him but rest in peace. Ozzy Osbourne I was blessed. I got to see him multiple times in Houston.' A fourth person said, 'From the side you look exactly like ozzy yea you better have a chat with mom you look more like his kid than jack does.'

Inspired by her Bengaluru days, Bollywood director made a horror film on black magic. What happened next will shock you

In 1980, celebrated filmmaker Aruna Raje , a six-time National Award winner, brought to life Gehrayee — a psychological horror-thriller steeped in the unsettling world of black magic . But what many don't know is that this chilling story was rooted in her very own backyard — literally. Long before the camera rolled, Raje's curiosity about the occult was piqued by strange happenings at her home in Bengaluru . Every morning, her mother would discover lemons doused in turmeric or vermilion in their garden — a chilling hallmark of black magic rituals. At first, it was unnerving. Later, it became the seed for a film that would haunt not just screens, but her life as well.

Black magic and politics, strangely, often crossed paths.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Only 2% Traders Know this Powerful Intraday Strategy thefutureuniversity Learn More From Strange Findings to Script Readings Raje, along with her then-husband Vikas Desai and iconic playwright Vijay Tendulkar , transformed these personal encounters into cinematic narrative. Gehrayee was born out of deep research. The trio interviewed tantrics , psychologists, and families who had experienced unexplained phenomena. One particularly gripping tale made its way into the script: a young Catholic girl believed to be possessed by the spirit of a Muslim woman from Lucknow. 'She would suddenly speak flawless Urdu and even recite poetry,' Raje recalled, still in awe of the stories that surfaced. The incident went on to shape the character later played by Padmini Kolhapure in the film.

As warnings poured in from tantrics and well-wishers alike — urging them not to tamper with such energies — Raje and Desai remained firm. 'We thought we were just telling stories. How bad could it be?' she reflected. As it turned out, worse than they imagined. Soon after Gehrayee released, life took a harrowing turn. The couple divorced. Raje lost her nine-year-old daughter to cancer. Rumours spread like wildfire that the film's subject had brought misfortune — a whisper campaign fed by viewers' own unsettling experiences. 'People would call us saying their food spoiled after watching the film or strange things started happening in their homes,' she said. 'They wanted tantrics' numbers. But how could we tell who was real or fake?' Gehrayee, starring Anant Nag, Sriram Lagoo, and Amrish Puri in a cameo, was not just a film — it became a cultural enigma. It reminded audiences of the thin, trembling line between fiction and the forces we cannot explain. For Raje, it became a haunting chapter in her storytelling journey — one born from a city garden, shaped by forgotten rituals, and sealed by real-life tragedy.
