A man dressed as Elsa from the Disney film “Frozen” has gone viral for pushing a police vehicle out of a snowbank.
During a major snowstorm that swept through Boston on Tuesday, a group of people decided to wait out the storm at The Gallows, a local gastropub. Chris Haynes spotted 37-year-old attorney Jason Triplett dressed as Elsa hanging at the bar with his friends. Haynes asked him why he was dressed as the Disney heroine and Triplett said he wanted to stand out.
Later, Haynes saw an unexpected hero attempting to push a police vehicle stuck in the snow.
It was Elsa.
Haynes filmed the moment and posted it on Facebook captioned, “Yup, that just happened.”
The video went viral receiving more than six million views.
Triplett told People that he knows his fame won’t last but hopes he can meet at least one celebrity.
“Everyone will be over it by noon,” Triplett says. “But if this is my 15 minutes, I would like to leverage it to meet Adam Rippon.”
