Who knew that a tech giant CEO could moonlight as a nail artist, even if just for a day? Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, surprised his Instagram followers with a video of him painting his daughter’s nails, showcasing his fatherly side while promoting Meta’s new mixed-reality headset, Quest 3S.
In the video clip, Zuckerberg can be seen hunched over a table, carefully painting his daughter’s nails with vibrant red and blue hues, adding a touch of sparkle to finish the look. He captioned the post, “Leveling up dad skills with multiple screens on Quest 3S,” referencing Meta’s new mixed-reality headset, Quest 3S, launched in the US on September 25. The video ends with his daughter displaying her new nails while the proud father declares, “I crushed it.”
Zuckerberg’s unexpected foray into nail art took the internet by storm, with many netizens expressing their admiration for the Meta CEO’s ability to balance his high-profile role with dad duties. “The father! Building technology for fathers’ errands,” posted one Instagram user. “Bruh went from CEO to stylist for his daughter,” added another. Meanwhile, another commented, “I’m sure this was the main use case when designing the Quest 3S.”
The video sparked a wave of humor and appreciation for Zuckerberg’s relatable dad moment. Another Instagram user virtually gave Zuckerberg the “Father of the Year award.” Several others called it the ‘cutest moment’ ever, and another social media user came up with a new name for the Meta CEO: “Zuck, the nail master.”
