A man is going viral for hilariously crashing a runway show on the beach in Australia. By accident!
On Tuesday, May 12, fashion brand Commas held its Australian Fashion Week show in the Sydney suburb of Tamarama Beach, during which models walked down a large staircase and onto the sand before strutting along the shoreline.
In a TikTok video shared by user Violet Grace, a man can be seen walking down the same stairs before doing some stretches just feet away from the models, then removing his shirt and taking a dip in the ocean.
"Australian Fashion Week: Nothing stops a local from having their morning swim," Grace captioned the post. "I repeat: NOTHING."
Over the clip, she wrote, "Whose dad is this?"
Viewers across the world are loving the clip, with many praising the beach-goer for his nonchalant attitude.

"I have to say an apology to the fashion designer," he begins. "I got to the top of the stairs yesterday, I saw the model and I thought, 'Well, surely, someone's going to be controlling the stairs if the show's begun. There must be coming down here to gather.' I got to about here and I suddenly went, 'I'm the lead model.'"
