Robert E. Kelly, AKA 'BBC Dad,' Shares Family Christmas Photo

Robert E. Kelly, AKA 'BBC Dad,' Shares Family Christmas Photo
Make us preferred on Google

You may not know his name, but you've probably seen his BBC interview.


Political science professor Robert E. Kelly's family famously barged in on him during a live BBC interview back in March. The hilarious video quickly went viral.

It all started when Kelly announced on Twitter that he'd be on the BBC to talk about the impeachment of South Korean president Park Geun-hye:

Little did he know that the interview would make him famous worldwide––overshadowing the impeachment news.

Partway through the interview, his daughter, Marion, came marching in. According to the Kelly, she was in a "hippity-hoppity mood" because she'd just had a birthday party at school.

As Kelly attempted to get his daughter to leave the room while still keeping his focus on the interview, his son, James, soon came gliding in in his baby walker to find his big sister. And that's when Kelly's sock-clad wife, Kim Jung-A came sliding in Risky Business-style (but a bit more frantic) to drag the two out and shut the door while Kelly closed his eyes in embarrassment and apologized.

Let's all relive this moment of pure magic from 2017, shall we?

The Wall Street Journal was lucky enough to nab the first interview with the adorable family. Kelly called the experience "a comedy of errors," which seems fitting. And it was all because Kelly had forgotten to lock the office door after a long day of interviews.

Now, having amassed a healthy following since the incident, the Kelly family is back on Twitter again. But this time it's to wish all of their fans a Merry Christmas.

Kelly shared a photo of the kids, now a little bigger, saying: "Merry Christmas. To all the people who follow me because of the video or my children, thank you. We are flattered by your kindness."

And Twitter gave the love right back:

Please SHARE this with your friends and family.

SKIMS Issues Refunds For Advent Calendars After Outraged Customers Compare Them To Fyre Fest

There's no denying that Kim Kardashian and her SKIMS brand are popular, but like her undergarment line that included faux pubic hair, she's certainly had some misses along the way.

Many SKIMS enthusiasts hurriedly ordered theirs for fear of the brand selling out, and some excited customers could not wait until Christmas season to open them.

A resurfaced video of Erika Kirk talking about how her late husband Charlie Kirk's brand of hot sauce reminded her of him has social media users raising their eyebrows.

He openly attacked LGBTQ+ rights, backed the white genocide conspiracy theory, and was a major figure in the MAGA movement.

JoJo Siwa Sparks 'Trad Wife' Comparisons After Debuting Her Conservative New Look

JoJo Siwa has been in the spotlight for most of her life, thanks initially to her partnership with her mother on Dance Moms, through which she became well-known for her cute and bubbly personality, constant smile, and of course, her bright blonde, slicked back, high ponytail.

It was only years later when her mother bragged about all of the "sacrifices" she made to be successful on Dance Moms that people discovered JoJo Siwa was not a blonde at all. She had naturally light brown hair, which she described as "brown woots" when she was little, and her mom started to bleach it blonde when JoJo was just 2 years old.
