Viral Video: A strange and risky moment from a music video shoot has gone viral online. Instead of using visual effects, a singer decided to set his pants on fire for real, and the results were both shocking and dangerous.
In the viral video, the singer can be seen calm as flames start to rise from his clothes. At first, it looks like a planned and choreographed scene. But soon, the fire gets out of control, and panic sets in.
As the flames spread, the singer’s confidence fades. He’s eventually forced to remove his pants to put out the fire. The video quickly made rounds on social media, leaving people surprised, amused, and concerned all at once. Some called the act foolish, while others said it was a bold attempt to get attention. Either way, the clip grabbed eyeballs.

He could’ve used AI to create his video," a fourth user wrote.

This guy is very resourceful," commented another user. "Guess he saved on VFX but now has to pay the real-life burn unit. That’s some expensive creativity," another person commented.
