The recently concluded 2025 NATO Summit in the Netherlands saw global leaders discuss critical geopolitical issues. However, it was Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni who unexpectedly stole the spotlight on social media—not for her policy remarks, but for her expressive facial reactions during a media interaction.
A video of Meloni making visibly involuntary and exaggerated facial expressions while speaking to the media has gone viral on social media. The video shows her blinking rapidly and contorting her face mid-sentence.
Netizens React
The viral video has triggered reactions from Netizens. One of the users said, "She’s Italian. They’re kinda world renowned for their animated displays of emotion and passion."
Another user said, "She looks terrified."
Another user said,"Idk, but she looks like she’s been hanging out with Zelensky."
Another user jokingly said,"Thought I walked into a scene from Breaking Bad."
During an earlier G7 roundtable in Alberta, Canada, a brief exchange between Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and French President Emmanuel Macron drew widespread attention on social media. As the French President leaned in to whisper something in Meloni's ears and her reaction was with a dramatic eye roll and a and quick lean back.
