- Mark Zuckerberg performed in a sparkly blue jumpsuit at his wife’s 40th birthday.
- Zuckerberg copied singer-songwriter Benson Boone’s Grammy appearance with the performance.
- Zuckerberg tagged Boone and the singer’s new release in a series of Instagram posts and stories.
Mark Zuckerberg pulled out all the stops at the birthday party for his wife, Priscilla Chan.
In a Friday Instagram post, the Meta CEO revealed that he donned a Benson Boone-style jumpsuit and performed onstage at Chan’s 40th birthday party.
“Your wife only turns 40 once! Shoutout to @bensonboone for the jumpsuit and new single,” Zuckerberg wrote alongside a video of him taking the stage in a dark dress suit only to have two people pull it off, revealing the sparkly blue jumpsuit underneath.
Boone’s new release — “Sorry I’m Here For Someone Else,” which came out late Thursday — played over the video. Zuckerberg’s singing could not be heard, but the sound of a cheering audience was prominent.
Like Boone at the Grammys, Zuckerberg also jumped off a piano, though it should be noted that Boone front-flipped from a piano, a stunt that Zuckerberg did not attempt in the video he shared.
Boone replied to Zuckerberg’s video with “I can’t believe my eyes,” adding on his Instagram story, “@zuck you’re wild for this.”
It wasn’t immediately clear if Zuckerberg wore Boone’s exact jumpsuit or a replica. The Meta CEO did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
In his stories on Instagram, Zuckerberg shared a picture of the jumpsuit on a hanger and tagged Boone.
“Ok I get it… it’s pretty snug,” Zuckerberg wrote in another story where he appeared to be wearing the jumpsuit under a dress suit.
This isn’t the first sign of the Zuck-Boone bromance
Boone and John Cena appeared in a promotional video for Meta Ray-Bans over the summer. In the video, Boone performed stunts around the Meta campus while filming with the smart glasses.
After Boone’s performance at the Grammys, Zuckerberg congratulated him on Threads.
Around that time, in an interview, Zuckerberg talked about his appreciation for Boone’s music.
“Priscilla and I, we call him the musical Harry Potter because he grew up not knowing he had a gift,” Zuckerberg said.
