A guy eating noodles next to the orchestra as it played during the Paris Olympics’ closing ceremony Sunday is making us hungry ― and he’s sparking an appetite for comments on social media.

Watch him here.

We don’t know if he’s a musician, or a producer of some sort, or just a guy chowing down as the music played at Stade de France.

Whoever he is, he’s won the internet’s heart.

“Can’t blame the man. He clearly knew how long this ceremony would drift on,” one commenter wrote on X.

That’s more action than the so-called drama that’s tediously unfolding with equally grim musak. What a pity.
