Chelsea star Cole Palmer has been praised for his humor (“too funny”) after weighing in on the popular online debate about whether 100 men could defeat a single gorilla.
The Chelsea star shared his perspective on the question that has been widely discussed on social media.
Former Manchester City player Joe Hart previously supported the idea that men could win, emphasizing teamwork as the key.
Palmer, aged 22, also believes that if there were 100 versions of himself, they would come out on top against the great ape.
The midfielder was asked about this scenario during a gym workout, and his answer greatly amused fans.
He responded, clearly familiar with the topic: “Ah not this f***ing bulls*** again.”
He elaborated: “I`m saying yes, if you had 100 men willing to fight and who can actually fight, and the first 20 or 30 [get taken down], then the gorilla is going to do it [win].”
He humorously added: “If you had 100 of you [referring to the cameraman], the gorilla would win, but not against 100 of me haha.” He then concluded, “Nah, I`m only messing, it depends, you know.”
Fans shared their reactions to his explanation on social media, finding his response highly entertaining.
One fan posted: “Cole Palmer is too funny.”
Another wrote: “God, I love him so much.”
A third commented: “This guy is too silly. I love him.”
A fourth suggested: “Palmer and the gorilla would just become best friends, and the gorilla would protect him.”
Another added: “I`m with Cole Palmer on this, haha.”
This wasn`t the first time Palmer had been asked for his opinion on the debate. He was previously questioned by a teammate.
His earlier response was reportedly less enthusiastic; he simply gave a blunt answer that it would be a close fight (“tight”).
Palmer often amuses fans with his personality off the pitch. For example, many supporters even changed their own technique for making a cup of tea after watching his method.
Recently, Palmer ended his goalless run in Chelsea`s victory against Liverpool on Sunday.
The England international scored a penalty from the spot in the 96th minute, securing a 3-1 win for Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
This was his first goal in 12 appearances, bringing his Premier League total for the season to 15.
