A young Cuban has gone viral on TikTok after sharing a funny video that captures his parents' reaction to seeing him without a beard, after three years of having one. The video has sparked laughter and nostalgia on the platform, racking up thousands of views and comments.
In the clip shared by the user @el_yoha10, the Cuban mother couldn’t contain her surprise upon seeing him without a beard and expressed, with her characteristic Cuban accent: "Why did you shave off your beard? Wow, look at this, this boy has shaved!" On the other hand, the father reacted with pride and commented, "Nice, that’s how he should look, he looks like he’s 15 years old." However, this comment sparked a family discussion, as the mother quickly responded, "That’s not how he should look; he looks more manly with a bit of a beard."
The family exchange not only brought about laughter but also stirred nostalgia in many Cubans for the distinct accent of their parents.
"The Cuban accent, please," commented a delighted user. Another user, from Spain, wrote: "I love listening to the Cuban accent; I'm in Spain and don't hear it anymore." Meanwhile, another nostalgic user added: "The Cuban accent brings back so many memories." "Cuban mothers have no filter," or "The Cuban is unique; he says it looks more like 'this,' and we all understood him," are some other messages that can be read.
The video has resonated deeply with the Cuban diaspora, evoking the warmth and expressions of families on the island, and demonstrating once again how an everyday gesture can turn into a viral phenomenon thanks to social media.
