When actor Amanda Henderson appeared on BBC’s Celebrity Mastermind game show as a contestant, she was asked to name the famous teenage climate activist. After cogitating for a while and looking rather perplexed, she eventually ventured to take a bold guess: “Sharon.”
The video quickly went viral an social media and was watched millions of times - unsurprisingly, it also ended up reaching Thunberg herself, who reacted by changing her Twitter name to Sharon in honour of the game contestant’s gaffe. She has since changed the account name back to Greta Thunberg.
It is not the first one that Thunberg, who recently turned 17, has played around with her Twitter profile. Only last month, she had a quick comeback when US President Donald Trump tweeted"So ridiculous,” 73-year-old Trump tweeted: “Greta must work on her Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Greta, Chill!”
Greta, in return, changed her Twitter bio to “A teenager working on her anger management problem. Currently chilling and watching a good old fashioned movie with a friend,.”
