Mark Zuckerberg has responded after a viral video after social media users poked fun at his apparent reaction to the famous stout during an appearance on the Cheeky Pint podcast, hosted by Irish tech entrepreneur John Collison.
The podcast, which features conversations with business leaders in a pub setting, saw Zuckerberg and Meta's Chief AI Officer Alexandr Wang discussing the company's latest artificial intelligence developments. However, it was one brief moment away from the AI conversation that captured the internet's attention.
Zuckerberg is seen lifting a pint of Guinness, taking a small sip and placing it back on the table before continuing the discussion. His facial expression immediately prompted speculation online, with viewers questioning whether he had enjoyed the drink.

The footage quickly gained traction across social media, attracting millions of views and thousands of comments. One user described watching Zuckerberg "pretending to enjoy Guinness" as their "new favourite thing", while others joked about his seemingly cautious reaction.
After another X user suggested that drinking Guinness had become "performative", Zuckerberg weighed in on the discussion with a tongue-in-cheek response.
The viral moment comes as Zuckerberg continues to strengthen his ties to Ireland. Recent reports have linked the Meta boss to Co Waterford, where he has reportedly acquired a historic property and has become an increasingly visible presence in the area.
