The Vikings' celebration from “The Parent Trap” goes viral as London wins

The Vikings held a celebration that recreated the famous handshake from the 1998 Disney film “The Parent Trap” following their win over the Jets in London on Sunday. Credit goes to defenders Camryn Bynum and Josh Metellus for executing the idea they unveiled after Bynum intercepted Aaron Rodgers in the first quarter.

Panthers reporter Kassidy Hill put together a TikTok video dubbing the Vikings' celebration and the original scene from the film starring Lindsay Lohan, and it went viral on X/Twitter.

“We’re celebrating generations right now for three weeks in a row,” Bynum said. “We had a few fire celebrations. But this might have been one of my favorite films just because it's one of my favorite films and it's set in London. When I knew we were playing in London, I saw the movie last week, I'm like, 'This is it.' So just being able to have those things ready because we expect that kind of turnover and we're constantly preparing… My mindset is that I have to have something ready every week and that's what I had to scream to London for.”

As Bynum noted, this was the third week in a row that he was involved in a fun celebration. He did an Usher dance after a pick against the Texans in Week 3 and hit a backflip after a fumble recovery against the Packers last week.

The Vikings' other safety, Harrison Smith, went with Aaron Rodgers' famous discount double-check move after sacking Rodgers in the second quarter.

The Vikings nearly gave up a 17-0 lead but managed to win 23-17 and are 5-0 on the season, thanks in large part to a defense that has 20 sacks and 13 takeaways in five games . They play in Week 6, so our next chance to see a creative celebration from Bynum is in Week 7 against the Lions.
