A TikTok video showing UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband interacting with content creator Feroz Khan on the streets of New York has been viewed roughly 1.5 million times, according to the Guardian.
In the video, Khan asks Miliband a series of casual questions, including his name, his job, and his top piece of advice, the report said. The Guardian described the reaction to the clip as mixed, sparking delight among some of Miliband's supporters, referred to in the report as Milifans, while drawing a more begrudging response from others less enthusiastic about the foreign secretary.
Part of a recurring online persona
The Guardian's report frames the video as reinforcing what it calls Miliband's status as an awkward dad figure online, a characterization the report says has developed through previous instances of the foreign secretary appearing in viral, cringe-inducing social media moments.
The report did not specify exactly when the video was filmed or posted, nor did it include additional comment from Miliband's office regarding the viral attention.
No further details on Feroz Khan's broader content or other public figures he has interviewed were included in the available report.
