The French defender has come up with a new and crazy way of putting smiles on his followers' faces.

Just as Bayern Munich are the club kings of social media, Patrice Evra is that player everyone loves to follow on Instagram. The Frenchman’s positivity is idolized by his followers, and on Wednesday he took it to a new level.

The Marseille defender began a challenge that we can easily see blowing up on social media. Called the “Smiling Challenge”, the 36-year-old requested everyone to take part in this fun game by sending videos of themselves smiling and being crazy. 

The former Man United man was the first participant, bouncing to a beat before breaking out in his infectious laughter. Watch it in the video below.
