West Byfleet care home resident Bob Norfolk has become a social media sensation after wowing the nation with his incredible ‘Strictly-esque’ dance moves.
Bob, 99, was filmed during a dance show at Charrington Manor Care Home when he joined performer Katie Lewis for a bop to ‘Rock Around The Clock’.
The video of Bob’s bop has been watched a staggering 1.9 million times by users across the world, with thousands of people liking and commenting on his incredible energy.
Bob said: “It’s quite astonishing to ‘go viral’ on social media - it’s certainly not something I ever expected to do. I’m delighted that so many people enjoyed watching me dance with Katie, who was a terrific partner. I hope it inspires others to get the dancing bug.”
For Bob’s fellow residents and the care team at Charrington Manor, the furore has been a source of great pride, and they are thrilled he’s got the recognition.
Home Manager Simona Vali-Parga said: “Bob is our superstar and we are thrilled that so many people across the world have enjoyed the video of his brilliant dancing. Everyone loved watching him dance, and it’s unbelievable to think that he can move so well just two days after turning 99 years old. Thank you to everyone who took the time to like, comment on or share the video.”
