Mirtha Legrand, the indestructible diva of lunches, once again caused a stir. This time, the host decided to show on her program some of the memes that featured her during the matches of the Argentine national team in the World Cup. And what could have been a simple moment of humor ended up being a scene full of emotion.
La Chiqui, true to her style, took the time to review the users’ witticisms on social media. From her classic gesture of disapproval to her particular way of celebrating goals, everything was material for popular ingenuity. But what drew the most attention was her reaction: far from getting angry, she laughed and even got emotional upon seeing the people’s affection.
“It’s incredible the wit that people have,” said Mirtha, her voice breaking, as the memes played on the screen. Some showed her with a stern face during a tense match, others imagined her giving dinner orders to Lionel Messi. And she, far from being offended, celebrated each one.
The moment went viral instantly, as could not be otherwise. The diva’s followers highlighted her ability to laugh at herself, something not everyone has. “Mirtha is unique,” “The queen of memes,” were some of the comments that poured in on social media.
The truth is that the host, at 96 years old, continues to show that she is more relevant than ever. And that humor, when it comes from the people, always finds a place in her heart. A gesture that brings her even closer to a public that adores her and has already turned her into an icon of Argentine popular culture.
